just falls short

Rating: 8/10 (7 August 2012)

Prometheus is visually stunning and you wouldn't expect anything less from the legendary director Ridley Scott. The cast all give good performances although a few of the characters could have been left out the movie to be honest. There seems to have been a deliberate attempt to leave many questions unanswered to set up a sequel or possibly two and after seeing this I certainly will be at the front of the queue. The fact the film deals heavily in the back story of the engineers or space jockeys is worth re-visiting the franchise alone. There are a few pointless scenes and the film loses itself toward the end but all in all a decent effort.
