Incredible Disappointing,Dreadful Music and Far To Bright

Rating: 5/10 (3 June 2012)

Prometheus quite simply a incredible disappointment. It failed on all levels to create the naturalistic and realistic feel have with ALIEN especially in the dialogue.
The Music was utterly horrendous, was so generic and weak and failed utterly to build up any atmosphere or tension at all.
The Lost Effect was also apparent in this movie- how you have mystic fragments and then characters that know everything but tell nothing and also combined with a very episodic approach to the movie and generally mysticalness to make it look smart and cover up plot holes.
Also the lighting was utter fail, it didn't really build any atmosphere (considering they spend little or no time whatsoever in the discovery) and the environment didn't look very ALIEN as it does in ALIEN.
It to me was LOST in Space with aliens and unfortunately that was not a great thing minus a few moments in LOST as well as in this Movie (even my mum disliked this movie and she is the lowest baseline for movies combined with her incredible love for ALIEN)
--------------More Detailed Review---------------------------- Ridley Scott seems to have utterly fallen asleep with this movie- especially considering how poor the music is its like he didn't even bother. Most uninteresting and generic music I have ever heard, the music also fails drastically to do what music is supposed to do which is build up immersion in this world. It even sounded like they only used one track!
The characters utterly awful except for Michael Fassbender and Charlie Theron and Idris Elba had some good moments even though I am pretty sure he lost his Texas Accent for part of the movie. Noomi Rapace was well acted but had poor lines and I do think could of done a lot better. The concept of religion science and everything was also utterly amateur delivered with little or not debate about it (could of been some pretty interesting stuff there). Charlize Theron was a actually really interesting character, but got dealt with very much like a cold character does in a horror movie and quite insulting to the possibilities they could of done with her character.
Guy Pearce wasn't particularly great either. The other characters where so little depth to them that you felt nothing for them , they where killed as if we where in a horror movie (especially after seeing Cabin in the Woods). The original ALIEN movie is called a horror movie but it actually transcends that and becomes a masterpiece this film got stuck in between of greatness and mediocrity.
The flow of the film was also non existent, incredible thin interacting of the characters was very much like moments in LOST when they would refuse to tell each other stuff for no reason. Plus none of them seemed to notice when big stuff happens especially to Noomi Rapace's character not a single question is asked or eyebrow raised.
Now don't even get me started on the Space Jockeys- utterly fail they became so generic uninteresting and was tragic to see.
HR Giger's designs where excellent but just banged in on mass rather then intelligently used.
This film if it didn't have Ridley Scotts name in it would of been a utter fail. Please may the lost writer never be allowed to do another SCI FI movie ever. I certainly missed Dan O'Bannon the original writer of ALIEN. -----------------------
However due to the incredible similarities to LOST TV Show (seriously its like the guy used the template of LOST and turned it into a movie) maybe this movie will be a success due to how popular LOST was. For me if they do make a follow up, I will probably be very hesitant to spend money.
