Totally misunderstood masterpiece which will be embraced over time

Rating: 8/10 (6 June 2012)

So many reviews have condemned this latest version from Sir Ridley, but few have truly realized that THIS version was supposed to merely complement the Alien universe, and it was NEVER supposed to be a direct prequel to the 1979 classic. The only reason why Lindelof was roped in was or that reason alone, thus many have misinterpreted this latest reincarnation....but wasn't this clearly stated by BOTH writer and director before its premiere that Prometheus was never to follow the current prequel hype but a film on its own???? To add salt to the wound, there are those who are short-sighted to rip apart the look, sound and feel of the movie- wasn't the basis of the movie grounded in exploration, so thus the rising tempo of the music that exemplified the themes therein???? And those who complained the lack of gloominess and doom, please remember that this is Scott's true follow up to his classic and it would be lack of a challenge to repeat the look and feel after 33 years!!! And why didn't many realize that Lindelof wanted to re imagine the Space jockey that involved Dr Shaw and David the Android piloting the ship to the jockey's home world ,versus the space jockey still seen in 1979?(que drum roll for a tasty sequel..!)
