Go see this movie and make up your OWN mind.

Rating: 9/10 (8 June 2012)

In an attempt to balance all the negative reviews, I decided to write my own review. This review has some very minor SPOILERS but I wrote it to convince you to go and see this movie.
I have no idea what's wrong with the people who call the movie and the plot stupid or simple. By reading the negative reviews you would almost presume the story is as brain dead as Battle: Los Angeles or something bad like that.
Let me start with saying that I enjoyed every minute of Prometheus and that the IMAX 3D quality was the best I've seen since Avatar, and I've seen (too) many 3D movies in between. I also had no problem with the acting whatsoever, it was all top notch if you ask me, Noomi Rapace was pretty good and Michael Fassbender should be nominated for an Oscar.
Yes, there are some questions left open at the end of the movie, but is that bad? Instead of cheap entertainment this movie actually raises some important questions and challenges YOU to think about it. Maybe the reason of the bad reviews is that people don't know how to think for themselves anymore, If someone asks them a question they Google the answer instead of thinking about it themselves. Now that's a troubling trend! With some intelligence its easy to notice all the layers and subtleties Prometheus has to offer under the surface. This movie is by no means shallow, it has deep questions to ponder.
Another reason of the bad reviews could be a psychological one, the movie revolves around a very disturbing but not impossible notion, namely the thesis that human life is engineered by extraterrestrials. This is a very confronting idea, that is beautifully mirrored in a conversation between David and Charlie at the pool table. Without being aware of it, some reviewers could be tormented by some deep religious roots (in a way we all have inherited some of those believes) The ideas in this movie could shake the very foundations of their believe system, which is sometimes causing an aggressively reaction when they are trying to keep those systems in place. Never forget that if the church had its way the earth would still be flat...
Believe me, there is far more ancient evidence for this than you'd possible believe. This idea doesn't come from a stupid "Alien vs Predator" movie, no you should delve into the works of Zecharia Sitchin who has dedicated 30 years of his life in a deep and thorough research of ancient clay tablets and artifacts describing and depicting these stories. And yes it very unsettling to throw 300 years (the movie plays almost a hundred years in the future) of Darwinism in to the garbage can as the biologist points out in the beginning of the movie. For me there couldn't be enough movies to address this question about our REAL history. It's sad that there is not more talk online about that very thesis, because that's what's this movie is all about!
I will go to see this beautiful movie again, for I know there are many interesting things to discover all along. The dialogue has many answers if you listen carefully, and if you're able to connect the dots, there are far less plot holes than everybody here tries to make you believe. Pay attention to David, for he says many revealing things about everything.
Enjoy!
