No sci-fi movie has ever disappointed so

Rating: 1/10 (7 June 2012)

This movie has disappointed me so severely that it forced me to write my first review on IMDb. Perhaps I am to blame partially for going to the cinema with a gradual built up of high expectations from a movie that had the potential to present a visionary approach to the genre combined with something much more essential and representative to our species.
This film encapsulates everything that has been done in sci-fi's, it's predictable, filled with non-spectacular special effects, dreadfully weak storyline (topped up by a highly skilled biologist expressing a profound, nun-like dedication to catholicism in the midst of all evidence proving that... well, humans and the Earth are not the centre of the Universe nor created in god's image) and you might end up with utter pain in your jaw muscles from yawning once you've realised that you're not precisely in for a treat. It's a synergy between Predator, Alien, Alien vs. Predator (I, II and III), Event Horizon and a bit of Solaris (no offence to Tarkowskiy). My point is not to undermine the previous movies, but to highlight that Prometheus does not bring anything new. If I had time and the inclination, I would show up at Scott's door to ask for my money back Southpark style. However, it's no so much about the money but the 2h or so of my own personal after work time that I have wasted.
In conclusion, save yourself from a profound bore and select something better to watch.
