Not as good as I hoped for

Rating: 7/10 (5 June 2012)

First of all the movie is visually stunning. I also liked that it was in 3D. That alone is enough for me to go and see the movie. There are lot of 3D action movies and has poor script and no good actors. This movie at least has a good director, good actors and an interesting set.
I think the idea of the movie was great. The idea that human life on Earth came to being from E.T. This separate it from sci-fi adventure movies that usually gives very little to the audience. Movie contains very important basic questions: where are we from? What is our purpose in the universe? It did gave one big surprise. Now we know more about the Engineers and what they look like.
So were did it go wrong? It wasn't very scary but that didn't bother me that much. The movie would have been interesting enough without very scary elements. Biggest problem is that the movie did not answer any questions it put to us. The movie was very interesting to the point were they went to see the alien know as The Engineer. In stead of answers there were a lot of more questions. The movie seemed to have no logic. All because they want to make a sequel. The next movie will answer all the questions. This movie hardly answers to any questions. That was really a downfall.
I also think that the character of Elizabeth Shaw(Noomi Rapace) is a bit weird. She carries a Christian cross and there are strong assumption that she is a Christian. How this fit the idea that the Engineers are creators(not God) of mankind? She is very found of them at the beginning.
All in all it seems that they wanted to make this movie less good in order to make the sequel better. I still hope they make the sequel because there is a big change it's better than this movie.
