What was this really about?

Rating: 3/10 (3 June 2012)

I guess I am going to be one of the less people who is not really content about this movie. Before I went to this movie, I heard it was a little about the Alien movies back in my younger years with the beautiful Sigourney Weaver, but then again it wasn't. So, I did not know what to expect.
When the movie started, I learned it was all about a group of people who went from earth to an alien planet to find out who could be the creator of mankind. They went to look for a possible God. That was a fine concept for me. After seeing a lot of things going on, like an octopus with four legs coming out of a woman's stomach, or this big guy killing everyone, I was asking myself what this movie really was about. If this movie wasn't about the prequel of the alien movies, what was it then about? It certainly wasn't about finding God or the beginning of mankind. I mean, at then end the search continues.
And there my biggest problem remains. They have seen this big guy. He wasn't kind or gentle. So why does this woman who gave birth to this quatropus want to search further? To meet more of these hostile creatures? This is the most unsatisfying movie I have seen in a while. A lot of money has been spend on making this movie. Cameron's Avatar and Christopher Nolan's movies are well made. Not because they only have a concept, but because they give the audience a whole package. Their movies have a beginning, a middle and an end. Prometheus has a beginning and a middle. Where the middle is, half away the movie, there is where it ends. It leaves you with the question where the movie begins with: who created mankind in the vision of Ridley Scott? Was it the big people who (I guess) created the aliens? But I think that was not relevant, because if it was, the movie did not stop half way the search.
And there is where the problem starts: If there would come a sequel to this movie, where would it go from here? Would the first alien movie be the sequel or the search for the creators of mankind? This movie did not get me warm to have this urge to see more of this expensive crap movie with a beginning and a middle. The only thing I liked about this movie is that Charlize Theron was driven over by a dough-nut shaped alien aircraft.
