Ridley Scott is a PROmestheus

Rating: 7/10 (8 June 2012)

First and foremost, I liked the first two Alien movies, Alien 3 was okay, and the everything after that might as well not existed. With that being said, it's good that Ridley Scott is at the helm of sci-fi yet again, and returning to the Alien universe.
With that being said, I overall liked the movie. It started out very slow, as it was establishing characters. I really liked that android named David. He's a complex character, but played very well by the guy who played the young Magneto. I liked him and the black guy. Everyone else is alien fodder to me.
The turning point of the movie is when these two guys are stuck in this cave while everyone else is chillin' in the ship. Suddenly they see this puddle that moves on its own and some tentacle thing pops out of it. If I was there, I wouldn't even go near it. However, one of them is an idiot and thinks its the most beautiful thing he's ever seen.... and it kills him. His poor buddy, who didn't even want to be there, well it kills him too. From here on out, its all action. The scene where that chick was giving herself a c-section while an alien is going nuts above her was an awesome scene. Seriously, I was falling asleep in the first half but wide awake in the second.
For all that fast paced action going on, I did feel the ending was a little underwhelming. It felt anti-climatic to me. Sure, some cool things happen but I didn't really feel that the main person really did that much at that point. Heck, she was no Ripley but then again, who is? Also, who casted Guy Pearce as an old guy? Why didn't they find an actually old guy like Richard Attenborough? He did well, but he looked more like an alien than human. Anyway, for all its worth, it's a good movie. I was insanely tired but it kept me wide awake. That should tell you something right there. Oh, and the 3D is worthless. Don't waste that extra money!
