Worth going to see whether you've seen the original or not.

Rating: 7/10 (21 June 2012)

Well i went to go see this movie with average hopes having read many reviews that said it was good but could not live up to expectations already set to high. Having lowered my expectations from alien fan boy to expecting a good movie i thoroughly enjoyed Prometheus. True it does make many references to the original alien series in no means is this only for fans of the original four movies. Everything was well acted and I can't think of any truly poor performances. The movie itself is generally well put together despite the few flaws i was able to find. The first act is very well put together and is perhaps the strongest of the acts. the second act falls a little flat in that many plot points are almost forgotten and new ones that i felt were irrelevant were brought into the story. the third and final act really fell short for me in the sense that the finally was anything but amazing. I won't go into details but I just felt somewhat robed after leaving the theater. After getting home i did realize that it was a good movie but none the less i still feel the director could have done allot better job with the ending. All in all it was a pretty good movie as long as your not expecting the moon out of it. expect a good sci-fie thriller that has its moments and that is solid enough to stand on its own.
