Prometheus (7/10)

Rating: 7/10 (14 August 2016)

What is fascinating about Prometheus was the lead up and hype that happened before the film came out. The film is better off on its own and not knowing that it is a set up by Ridley Scott to his Alien franchise. There is obviously a lot of disappointment to the film because the direction of the story is definitely a little strange. However, there is just too many quality aspects of the film that are not to be overlooked. The performances by almost the entire cast is fairly pleasing especially by the star power of Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace, and Charlize Theron. Also, the visual effects are truly top-notch, would have certainly been best to see this in theatres. The story-line is a bit convoluted and a lot of questions were left unanswered but it is totally unique. Ridley could have definitely done better with a more defined plot structure but it is still enjoyable and makes the viewer look forward to whatever is next in the new series.
