Personally, I enjoyed it a lot.

Rating: 8/10 (22 September 2012)

This movie seems to be getting pretty mixed fan response. People who like it either like it or love it, but it seems that most people on the negative side, HATE it. Now after Skyline, we went all the way through 2011 with like two really good alien movies. The two alien movie we got this year (John Carter and Battleship) were only OK, so I wanted a really good alien movie again. That's all I wanted, and you know what, I got one. Kinda.
I won't spoile anything, or at least won't do it intentionally. But the big problem is that this film is much better in story and visuals than it is with characters. There are some good characters, but for the most part they were extremely forgettable. It seems to leave way too much open to just audience interpritation. Basically the writer just did something and made us figure out how the hell it works a few too many times. It doesn't focus on the alien as much as I would hope, and the alien itself, well it's a little disappointing.
But the best part about this movie are the visuals. They are amazing, just the massive scope is enough to make it through the film. And a few effects even made me go, "how the hell did they do that?" The acting is good all around, especially Micheal Fassbender as David, for like half the movie I completely forgot he was a robot. There are some interesting twists, the plot isn't anything too complex, but face it guys, neither were Alien or Aliens. The last scene actually is quite surprising, and it makes sense. Some may complain about it, but personally I found it to be cool. And it's just fun, it's got good suspense, good action, and good atmosphere.
It isn't quite as good as Alien or Aliens, but watching it made me realize how much I liked those movies. The atmosphere, action, and visuals. Don't give me any bulls**t that they had deep plots, they were a haunted house in space and a shoot em up. Prometheus may not be perfect, but it's a damn fun time, with creepy scenes, great visuals, a basic but well done story, and some damn great performances.
