Awful quasi-religious junk

Rating: 2/10 (2 March 2017)

This movie is closet creationism, not science fiction. Scientists have proved (e.g. using gene sequencing) that humans evolved—on Earth—over the course of millions of years from earlier hominids. Hence, any movie that deals seriously with the idea that we were created, whether by "gods", by superhumans, or whatever, is quasi-religious. It's a director trying to impose his religious views on you covertly. Personally, I lost all respect for Ridley Scott as a person and as a director after this junker.
Moreover, Prometheus is a glopped up mess of a story, so even if you don't "believe" in evolution (49% of Americans don't—yikes), it's still not a good movie. Other movies that might seem to have similar themes, e.g. AVP (2004) or Stargate (1994), actually do not. They deal instead with the remotely plausible idea that powerful aliens visited Earth thousands of years ago and influenced our already-existing civilization, not with the idea that we were "created". Labeling Prometheus as sci-fi is an insult to that genre.
