Incredibly bad movie

Rating: 3/10 (4 July 2012)

I really looked forward to seeing this one, not least since I love Alien and Bladerunner. But where Alien is a great suspense movie, that doesn't get bogged down in irrelevant cosmology, Prometheus relishes in trivial ideas and is not the least bit exciting.
And where Bladerunner excelled in interesting twists, the narrative of Prometheus is so poor that almost nothing in the movie is believable, let alone thought provoking. Bladerunner was based on a Philip K. Dick novel, and that can only be a good thing. Whatever the script for Prometheus was based on, it certainly wasn't good.
And where both Alien and Bladerunner are driven by superlative acting, the acting in Prometheus is, well - I don't know how to put this, but I really can't remember when I last saw a movie so completely devoid of plausible - or even remotely fascinating - characters as Prometheus.
But if you like surprises, go see it. I was extremely surprised to find out that Ridley Scott could actually make a movie this bad.
