The Horror! The perfect irony.

Rating: 1/10 (1 October 2012)

Before turning it off, the last scene of this movie I've seen was a head exploding. What a perfect metaphor for the horrid decadence of the action film genre. As a viewer, it could be my head exploding after me blowing my brains out, and as a filmmaker, their heads after squeezing'em so hard trying to copy James Cameron, and Spielberg, and mostly Scott himself, and the garbage that comes out of that dead brain is called "Prometheus". Like I've said, I didn't see the whole movie (thank God), but I don't know why I got this strange feeling I've seen it 200 times before. More than 30 years old is the masterpiece "Alien", but it seems like Scott pretends to laugh in my face with this cheap remake, orientated to earn some more money from the people that's too young to have watched the original. The use of terms such as "prequel" and "connections", in order to cheat the audience and come out with both bigger ego and bank account, is worthy of admiration. Bravo, Ridley! I'm nobody, but I'm glad I didn't pay a red cent to watch 45 minutes of your pretentious, huge and impressive lot of nothing. Do you want to know where we come from? Why are we here? We come from our mother's uterus, and we're here to make a living without fooling other people in the process, that's all I care about. Oh, right, the storm effects, the aliens, the exploding heads, the holograms, the old cultures, the alien scientist, the crazy scientist, the do-able science woman, her boyfriend... say hi to them from me. So long and farewell.
