Prometheus UnSound

Rating: 4/10 (11 June 2012)

P.B.Shelley composed Prometheus Unbound in 1820 which depicted the confrontation between Zeus and Prometheus, the Titan, who gifted Man the use of Fire.Prometheus, is thus, represented as a messiah for mankind.
In Ridley Scott's movie, Prometheus is the name of the spaceship which has taken flight in the not so distant future in search of the origins of mankind. Could have been an interesting premise, but it all becomes a tiresome study resulting in an Unsound mind.
Unbelievable prurient adolescent displays from Scientists which makes the term 'logic' vanish from anyone's dictionary, futile attempts to engage viewers through rehashed and further rehashed stock situations and the sheer denial to LET GO of the concept of Alien, which is a distant remnant of its super-horror original franchise element and is now just another funny avatar - that's what Prometheus is all about.
Still I had to give it a '4' because of the C.G panorama and the isolated grandeur built on screen. It's a technician's solid deliverable although we have seen enough of these. Heart, the movie has none. Boredom and yawns - plenty. Aliens, Predators, Aliens vs Predators and now Engineers ( you'll know the term if you feel like watching this whimper on a big screen ), Aliens, Humans - You have seen it all, many many times. Ridley, give us something original again. At least a repeat of Maximus from Gladiator or a Hoot from Black Hawk Down. Not Another Ripley from Alien, please.
