Deep, complex and enlightening.

I know Prometheus has gotten a lot of hate, but I can't say it surprises me. This movie is full of subtle hints and cleverly concealed deeper meaning, which many people may find boring or confusing since it's not right up in your face holding your hand while explaining the entire plot to you. You have to actually think when watching this film.
I wish I had more time to write a fuller review of this movie, since it really deserves it, but I would like to start off by saying that I loved it to absolute bits, and after watching it multiple times it kept getting better. While I was pretty much lost when it came to the black goo and how it reacted to different people, after a little research and deep thinking it became quite clear and very interesting. I won't go into detail on every single analysis, but just know that pretty much everything in this movie has more than one meaning. So don't try to watch it with your senses, try watching it through your mind, mmkay? Because while your eyes and ears might think it doesn't make sense or is just one big steaming pile of garbage, it's quite easy to become enthralled if you just pay attention.
Keeping these to a minimum so I don't spoil anything. There's lots of questions you can ask yourself about Prometheus. Significance of title, why did the Engineer drink the black goo, why did the black goo react differently with different people/alien thingies, why was there an "invitation", why was the moon that the coordinates led to terraformed, what did all the murals represent, what happened to all the engineers 2,000 years ago, why was the ship with the goo set to go to Earth, what happened 2,000 years ago to make the Engineers upset with humans, what relationship did they have with the humans, why did the creepy head explode after looking disgusted, why did the Engineer at the end smile at David before going all killdozer?
Really it's an intensely analytical movie, and you gotta go into it with a strong head on your shoulders or you'll probably end up thinking it's just plain boring. Anyways it looks like I'm out of time so I'll be ending this review short. I recommend this movie to someone who want's to see something new. 10/10
Great movie!
