An 8, I think...No only 7

Rating: 7/10 (2 June 2012)

I went to see Prometheus this afternoon in 3D and I have rather mixed views.
There are some excellent performances, superb production design and cinematography, but I'm not sure if the sum of its parts add up to a satisfying whole.
I think it was in an interview with Lindelof that he said that Prometheus was a mix of Alien and Blade Runner, but it seems to me that the central thread is much more in line with Blade Runner than Alien and the "Alien" elements in the second half of the film are the ones that throw the film a little off course.
That being said there are scenes in the film I'll never tire of watching and a couple I really wish weren't in it at all.
I need to see it again before I can come to a definite conclusion. Provisionally 8/10
I've seen it a few times now and a 7 is the best it deserves.
