Watchable movie, Rubbish script, Unorthodox characters

Rating: 5/10 (5 October 2012)

I'm a big Sci-Fi fan but I have to say I hate 90% of Sci-Fi movies that are out there. Prometheus was not an exception either. While the movie is not boring, there are so many flaws on the script that makes it just another flat, Blockbuster Sci-Fi movie.
Nothing makes sense on that movie. The "scientific" personnel of the spaceship acts over the top all the time, just as if they were mindless criminals or something. On several life-changing revelation scenes where we'd be expecting an analog reaction from the characters, we just a "oh, what the heck" line. Most of the astronauts from the very beginning are making it clear that don't want to be where they're going (that is an alien habited planet). For God's sake, why did you get on that ship on the first place??? Everyone acts in a completely unorthodox way.
More than that, the plot itself is nothing unique. A similar story has been told a hundred times on the cinema, most often with a better outcome. Prometheus is just another Action Sci-Fi movie with swallow characters, a common plot and completely unorthodox reactions at almost every scene.
Please, if you have to make a Sci-Fi movie, for God's sake make a good script first! Kubrick was not stupid that hired the best Sci-Fi writer for his 2001 movie!
