Disturbingly bad

Rating: 1/10 (20 September 2013)

*spoilers*
Disturbing because so many people, including respected critics, seemed to approve of this nonsense.
Plenty of people have listed the countless scenes that make absolutely no sense ('scientists' behaving like children mainly). I mean walking around with no helmet in a foreign environment, prodding aliens to see what happens, nicking off for a random shag when for the first time, people are down in an alien environment (and probably need an eye kept on them), and then when they get killed by prodding an alien, amazingly the video is not reviewed so when they can't be contacted they just head down for a look-see. I mean come on are you serious? And at the end that rope and descender (which are the same in 90 years as they are now) appear out of nowhere.
However the main worry for me is that the premise that these aliens populated the earth goes against everything we know about evolution. This complete disregard for any logic is dismissed by a throwaway reference to Darwin but seriously, does anyone believe that these aliens just created people for no apparent reason and then seemed to want to destroy humans for, again, no reason. And these futuristic scientists believe in god and wear a crucifix?!
OK so I'll get off my evolution high horse and just repeat that the movie makes no sense and even Fasbender looked absolutely ridiculous as that alien character. How could Ridley Scott make such a piece of nonsense? Alien was brilliant but this is just an awful rehash.
PLEASE don't release Prometheus 2.
I am actually fuming that I wasted 1.5 hours of my life watching it.
But I am frankly horrified that even Rolling Stone mag rated it. Maybe we were created by aliens...ones with terrible taste and no logic whatsoever.
I'd give this 0/10 if that were possible. But at least it can have one point for having pretty neat effects but even that insults us all because it implies that this garbage cost a fortune.
This movie actually angered me. It makes 'Independence Day' (previous the biggest waste of money and over-hyped ****) look OK.
