Astounding revelations at every turn!

Rating: 8/10 (27 March 2014)

Good points: Prometheus is the best Ridley Scott movie since 'Barry Lyndon', which was not a Ridley Scott movie but should have been. The plot was seamlessly woven into the fabric of the other Alien films (particularly the first one but you could see echoes of the other three as well); this was a very nice touch.
Utterly gripping; how could we have guessed what was coming next? Astounding revelations at every turn! Patrick Wilson totally carried the first half of this film; I am so pleased to see him getting solid roles again.
Cliffhanger ending: will Shaw reach the Engineers' planet and save Earth from destruction? Not necessarily! Duration was ideal; anything less than 2 hours would have been a waste. Superb characterisation; no need to guess motives or rationale. Plot was logical, believable, and easy to follow.
Bad points: Too many aliens. OK, I understand that they're on an alien planet in a facility created by aliens who probably created other aliens, but why so many aliens? I just don't understand the focus on aliens.
Michael F. Assbender didn't look like an android; this was very unrealistic and spoiled the character for me. Far too much was explained; I wanted mystery and unanswered questions! Kate Dickie was miscast in a role clearly written for Aitana Sánchez-Gijón. Visuals were poor.
Overall, a big thumbs up. I'm looking forward to the sequel.
I rate 'Prometheus' at 26.64 on the Haglee Scale, which works out as a magnificent 8/10 on IMDb.
