Abysmal

Rating: 2/10 (3 June 2012)

This wasn't just bad for an Alien film, it was simply bad film making in the broadest sense of the word.
Having avoided all the hype as much as I could, I went into Prometheus hoping for a decent sci if romp. What I got was a mess of a film, with bumbling, nonsensical and poorly developed characters, lazy script writing and a plot that was so riddled with holes and inexplicable events that I, like many others in the cinema, was checking my watch for much of the second half of the film to see how much longer I'd have to endure it.
The only positives I can think of are Fassbender's performance, and the excellent visual effects. Everything else was just a garbled mess. When an emotionless android is the most developed character in a film, you have to realise that something is deeply wrong.
