I don't get it

Rating: 6/10 (17 June 2012)

"Prometheus" is lucky I'm being so generous. The Film seems to have divided people into two groups. Those that thought it was brilliant. And those who thought it was awful. And sadly I find myself swinging more toward the later. Though I can appreciate it for what it really is.
I Was always wary off a flick which started out as a prequel, then changed its mind, and started to describe itself as something altogether "new." What's the point off connecting it with "Alien" if it's not about "Alien" then? Like, really? If its something new then saying its set before "Alien" is just a cheap marketing ploy. Too help get noticed what is an otherwise pretty standard science fiction movie.
Now I wasn't expecting another "Alien" movie like some were. As it was explained ages ago that it wasn't going to be one. But the way it keeps changing its mind about how it is even connected is just irritating. I Will admit too actually kind off enjoying it too a point. But when they manage to get the one part everyone wants too see wrong (The Ending that explains the connection) then the whole thing seems rather pointless.
I Will applaud the always great Michael Fassbender in this, admit too it having an altogether unique take on the "chest burster" scene, and admit too it overall killing boredom for a couple off hours. But it is no work off genius.
Just because its slow and mysterious, doesn't make it the next "2001." Sorry!
