Very confusing, I can't decide if I liked it or not.

Rating: 7/10 (7 June 2012)

I have been waiting a long time to see Prometheus and now I have seen it I really aren't sure what to make of it. The film looks brilliant especially in 3d and has some great acting(particularly from Fassbender, Rapace and Elba)and it had some great action. I think what lets it down is a story that didn't really make much sense to me. The story about how the scientists are going to find our beginnings didn't really seem to have much relevance to anything and just confused the film. Then there was Guy Pearce's utterly pointless character who didn't really add anything yet seemed to be controlling most of the main characters motivations. Also it was Guy Pearce wearing an old man costume, why couldn't they just get an actual old man? Who knows. Also Charlize Theron's character added nothing to the plot and I'm not sure what she was doing there apart from to have a completely pointless twist involving Guy Pearce's character. Despite this I sort of enjoyed it there was a certain amount of tension at the end and Michael Fassbender's character was very good and he dominated the film. Overall I think this film was quite disappointing I was expecting a film to rival Ridley Scott's masterpieces Alien and Blade Runner however what I ended up with was a poor story which was saved by some top class acting and great directing. 7 out of 10
