Prometheus is AWESOME!

Rating: 9/10 (15 January 2014)

This is one of my favorite movies, and I really do not understand why people do not like it. I was born long after the Alien Anthology was released, so I do not share the same emotional connection that others do to the Alien movies, but I do enjoy the anthology and am just as big a fan as the next guy.
When I saw the preview for this movie, I was instantly intrigued. And I was not disappointed, in the movie itself or the connection to the Alien movies. Yes, the movie does have some parts that bug me (particularly where surgery is performed on Shaw to remove the impregnated alien).
Most of the characters are really great, except for a few of the geologists in the beginning who are thankfully killed off very early.
The movie is very suspenseful and action packed, and I was on the edge of my seat for every moment of it. Though it did not give me a better understanding of the Alien movies as I had hoped, it was a great movie nonetheless. I really look forward to the sequel to Prometheus!
