Prometheus Review

Rating: 9/10 (10 June 2012)

Prometheus was a great movie for what it is worth. It did the job in a beautiful way and for that I believe it deserves an eight out of ten or even higher.
People will always point out the flaws in a movie and Prometheus is not exempt. The only major issue for people that cannot simply enjoy a movie without picking it apart is the risky behavior of the crew. For example, they took their helmets off on a foreign planet without much thought. I do agree that this behavior is not what a very professional scientific exploration party would do but this does not mean that the movie is unrealistic just that this specific crew might not have been too professional. Prometheus tells the story of an unsuccessful mission to a dangerous planet. Mistakes were made by the people and that is just another aspect of the story not a flaw in the plot line. Another error that I myself had an issue with is the surgery that a main character performs on herself. She basically performs a C-section on herself then gets up and walks away. This is not realistic by today's standards. The only possible reason for this speedy recovery would be advancement in medical technology. None of the flaws I saw within this movie greatly effected its quality in my opinion.
Prometheus is a very good movie for various reasons. The effects are beautiful and the content provides for a good time. Prometheus is a work of art that we all can enjoy. The performances of several of the actors should be rewarded. Michael Fassbender and Noomi Rapace both gave great, memorable performances. If you have not seen Prometheus I would recommend it.
