All your questions will be.... left unanswered

Rating: 6/10 (11 June 2012)

I blame them for raising my expectations. Alluding to a fantastic tale of human origin, alluding to questions that we have always been looking for answers to. With such high expectations I entered the theater to witness what I said to my friends would be a phenomenon. I was so wrong. This is just another alien movie minus the chills and the thrills. The premise of the movie is good and the opening scene promises so much but the second half goes south from there. Some questions that will be left unanswered are.. What is David's motivation for doing what he does? that question is alluded to vaguely in the beginning of the movie; he is learning all sorts of new languages and watching old Hollywood movies. Maybe he got influenced by all the movies he watched. I dunno, it felt stupid to me. Why were they not carrying weapons with them when they went to free the Engineer. How could they assume that he would not be hostile given the fact that he was found aboard a ship carrying weapons of mass destruction, especially those meant to destroy humans. Wasn't that bloody evident? What would you do if a mysterious snake like creature were to appear out of a pool of dark murky liquid, surely not try to play around with it. You would run screaming and urinating in your pants. How the hell did Guy Pearce's, Mr. Weyland think the engineers would reinvigorate him? And last but not the least why did the Engineers want to kill us? Is it because of our BO? or were they part of a terrorist outfit. Did we step on their toes by mistake in their dreams? were they angry because they knew that puny miss Noomi would be the only survivor in the end and that the end would be a dud. So many questions, no answers. Wait for the sequel - Prometheus 2.
Sorry guys.. this is not that movie..
