Overdone, Underacted

Rating: 4/10 (17 June 2012)

Read through some of the really tedious reviews about this being tied in to the creation of humankind, Jesus, blah blah blah. And then remember this was supposed to be a prequel to Alien. Remember, that horror movie about a space bug killing astronauts?
Somewhere along the line somebody's ego got WAY out of whack, and here we are with Prometheus, a prequel to both Alien and the Bible.
Regardless of this film's lofty aspirations, it's just not that good. The acting is bad, the writing is bad, the story really just doesn't add up, and all of the characters are either jerks or idiots or both.
In the end, it looks great, but it can't decide if it wants to be a prequel to Alien or this really deep movie about the origins of humanity. Here's a hint, if you try to do both at the same time, you fail.
