too high expectations?

Rating: 6/10 (30 May 2012)

Well, Im one of those that has the opinion that the original Alien was far the best (having watched a lot of those debates were people were arguing about Alien vs Aliens). I loved the atmosphere, characters and the tense that built up throughout the movie. It was really really superb. After having watched Prometheus I became some kind of frustrated, how can something that is made so beautiful leave you with so little thrill? Yes Prometheus is incredibly beautiful, Im really amazed on that part. But sadly, that was the only thing that amazed me in a positive way. The characters in this movie are completely non-interesting, David with a few exceptions now and then. And even then David joins the rest of the crew on the train that in my world is called "non realistic characters". Sadly Prometheus are filled with characters that you get to know so little about that you don't care for them at all. The actions of the characters often makes very little sense. In that way I didn't find them believing. Thats one big minus for the movie in my opinion. Another thing I didn't find in the movie, was some tense scenes that could put me to the edge of my seat. I hate to admit it, but even Alien Resurrection had that. But that was also a thing Prometheus did not deliver.
So watch this movie for the art of the cinematography. Sir Ridley Scott has stated that Prometheus is not an Alien movie. He's right about that, it's not!
