Visually impressive but lacks clarity in dealing with some big themes

Rating: 7/10 (2 June 2012)

Prometheus is visually stunning, but that was to be expected. And while very enjoyable, it was an incredibly frustrating film to watch, marred by some seriously superficial story telling which at best doesn't make a lick of sense. And that's not to mention a number of gaping plot holes. Essentially nothing in the film is ever explained... nothing! It's a film with big themes and big ideas but presented in a series of question marks. No surprise the script was penned by one of the co-creators of Lost. Plenty of mystery and intrigue but no idea how to provide a satisfying resolution. I still liked it, just as I enjoyed Lost for 6 series but both were disappointingly wishy washy.
