Having now watched Alien: Covenant and then returned to a viewing of Prometheus it's like returning to an old friend. First time round I did actually enjoy Prometheus despite it getting slated by Mark Kermode et al, I never understood their gripe with it when they certainly have sympathy for much more problematic films.
The story is nuts and bolts, Aliens/Sci-Fi, no surprises unless you're fastidiously interested in the hierarchy of the Aliens universe. I enjoyed the suggestion that the 'engineers' are our gods, mainly because I embrace at least the hypotheses that Darwin is wrong (in the case of humans).
In conclusion, the format is very generic and some of the dialogue is cringe worthy but I enjoy exploring Ridley's imagination and ruminations on the origins of our species.
