Beautiful and thought provoking.

Rating: 9/10 (12 June 2012)

So, after 2 years of waiting I saw the film today and I really enjoyed it. It asks more questions than it answers and definitely leaves you with food for thought and this, to me, was the right approach. I also think the film will improve with further viewings as you deconstruct some of the imagery and ideas. It's not your archetypal Hollywood science fiction action movie clearly Ridley Scott is not going to do that kind of movie, 3 science fiction films in a 30 year career needs to be understood. His methodology to this genre is a measured and thoughtful one. And that is a good thing and so is Prometheus. Is the film perfect, no. But it strives to bring something more ethereal and thought provoking to the screen and Scott should be commended for that.
