all good writers still on strike???

Rating: 6/10 (6 June 2012)

I'll start with a disclaimer: I've always been a big fan of science fiction, loved first two (even first three) Alien installments etc. Also I believe visuals matters -movies are a form of visual art after all. So I really looked forward seeing Prometheus. Sci-Fi, thriller, Ridley Scott, big bucks, modern CGI technologies – nothing could go wrong, right? Wrong! I will not go into details (many other commentators already did that), but there are countless plot holes of every size and form! It was only about 5 minutes into the movie, when the first MAN-WHATTA-HELL-WAS-THAT? happened. OK, to cut it short – it appears to me that all good writers in Hollywood have moved to making movie COMMERCIALS instead of movies itself (the best part in attending a movie theater is commercials, have you noticed that?). What is wrong with great directors, good actors that they are accepting such shitty screenplays? Money and production deadlines are the answer, I know that. But it's so sad, isn't it I rated the movie 6 because of visuals.
