Not that great.... lacks artistic quality

Rating: 5/10 (18 October 2012)

The dream-like tone and futuristic poetic grit and story of Bladerunner, is lacking this time.
In Prometheus, we have a movie where nothing really cool happens because the events that unfold seem so over-processed, overly familiar, un-courageous - this is the big one for me, the script and action takes no risks. It's a safe production. The director is wearing slippers as he pushes no limits and presses on with satisfactory sci-fi.
There's so many places to take movies artistically without needing generic templated block-buster solutions. Pre-approved formulas only take you half way there. Get better writers! Still, a good movie, just nowhere near classic.
