In space who cares if you scream if you can't be bothered to run

Rating: 1/10 (5 June 2012)

To be honest i had no idea of the plot for Prometheus. I hadn't read any reviews and had no idea that it was meant to be a prequel to the original Alien. However while watching this movie it soon's becomes apparent that its a sequel as the storyline and characters seem to mirror the original in many ways. The movie however does not hold up to the original. The acting although wasn't too bad (for some people), the characters were just not believable. Noomi Rapace although a superb actress just doesn't deliver as the heroine at all. She is just too nice a person, to play this part (she was best in her millennium trilogy role.) Most people have said that Michael Fassbender played his role really well. Well they may be so, if playing it well means he looks like he's constipated through the whole movie. Lance Henriksen's acting as Bishop in aliens was far superior. As for Charlize Theron, What the heck was she in this film for. Her character did nothing at all. She is billed as one of the main actors in this movie, and yet her character has no meaning whatsoever. If that role hadn't have been written it wouldn't have lost anything whatsoever The plot of the movie was pretty lame and could never hold a candle to Alien. The Original the crew can't escape the creature because its on board the ship. In this movie, their really isn't a creature for most of the film. Just a some slime, that could have been 'snot' and that was meant to be scary. Even when the creature is first seen, it more resembles a plastic snake with a gaping wide mouth. If I didn't know that Ridley Scott had also directed Alien as well as this film, I would have assumed he hadn't even bothered to see the original film at all. What a waste of time and good money.
