Summer Blockbuster for all, over indulgence for fans

Rating: 6/10 (6 June 2012)

So after all the press and Mr Scott trying to tell us its not related to 'AILEN', Prometheus is EVERYTHING to do with alien and for those who have seen the whole alien series this is so very obvious from the off.
As the story was such a well kept secret, most Fans of the series could have guessed 80% of this movie and saved their money. For those who don't know the alien series, it is a good standalone movie with the typical Epic panning shots and amazing detailed sets of any summer blockbuster.
The acting was just above average, but lacked all the suspense and darkness of the original Alien and the main story chunk was predictable. However the General story tied up fans questions about the Space Jockeys and the origin of the Alien and left its self wide open for a Sequel.
As the film ends its still doe snot lead directly into Ailen leaving fans felt cheated on, as the journey of the second ship to the Origins of the space jockeys leaves you to Imagen how it could possibly link up to the distress beacon in the space jockey ship on LV426.
With the odd nods to scenes in the following alien films there was plenty for the fans to admire and added depth to the otherwise average summer block buster.
The Lifeforms featured in the movie ( Apart from the space jockey ) are looking to become a bit silly RE: Xenomorph at the end. . . ( Giger must be unimpressed ), the Squid like Lifeform that evolves into a giant Face-hugger was about the limit.
If it was not trying to be summer blockbuster it could have a a great Dark indulging movie, however its eaten to much AVP / Transformers and lost what makes Alien great.
It all boiled down to a load of cross-breeding and a hint of trying to ask a philosophical quest that gets over shadowed by C grade acting characters that you have no emotions for and to much showing of monsters , and then the typical here come the Sequel ending.
Average movie for all but slightly disappointing for fans.
7/10
