This could have been good. It wasn't

Rating: 3/10 (6 May 2013)

OK, first let me get the good stuff out of the way; * special effects were nice
* acting was adequate.
** Now for the blisters it so richly deserves. While it is true that many mythic Greek tales (and for that matter ancient tales of all cultures) had their share of gore, what made them mythic tales was their attachment to eternal truths. This is especially true of tragic tales.
"Prometheus" screws the pooch. It's like watching professional wrestling (begging the pardon of pro wresting -- professional wrestling for all of it's ham handed stagecraft at least bears a semblance of cogency in it's dramatic arc) without the armpit hair.
This movie had POTENTIAL. Instead, the powers that be let Ridley Scott get ahold of it and he proceeded to pass something that looked at most times like a comic book knock-off of the Aliens quadrilogy.
Sad, sad sad.
