This movie was a real disappointment

Rating: Null/10 (13 October 2012)

I pre-ordered this movie, so I was somewhat excited to get it. I had seen the very first Alien movie in a theater in 1979. Shortly after I bought my first VCR and ALIEN was my first VHS tape purchase. Back then the movies cost around $100. Big money! I now have a 54" LCD screen and Blu-ray player and sat back one back night preparing to be enlightened about the unanswered questions of the first Alien movie and much more. Well.......the digital and photography was beautiful. But the characters would have been more at home on the reality series "Storage Wars" than a $130 million dollar movie! The aliens, or they call them the engineers, apparently came to Earth before "Man" began; about 55 to 85 million years ago, and spread their "seed" (DNA) into the air and water and wala, here we are. They confirm this by doing a DNA sample on a 2,000 year old dead alien/engineer and our DNA and his DNA is an exact match.......What? SPOILER: They are 10 feet tall albinos' with no body hair and seemingly identical facial features. Did none of the writers know that Earth scientists have dug up many prehistoric man and have already showed where we came from? And it wasn't 10 foot albinos. The producers of this movie appeared to hire 15 grad students with a minor in theatrics and put them in separate rooms and told them to write 5 minutes of the movie; that's all, then they stuck all those pieces together and made the final movie! The unconventional crew of the first Alien movie was believable because it was just a mining vessel; like an iron/oar ship on the Great Lakes. The Prometheus ship was a trillion dollar scientific adventure and barely one person was believable as a professional.There are so many idiotic scenes in this movie that I can't even enjoy it for the digital effects.
