Did I see the same movie?

Rating: 9/10 (19 November 2013)

I read all the reviews panning this movie and I have to wonder if I saw the same movie as these folks. "Prometheus" isn't a perfect movie but I found it entertaining. Is it scientifically accurate? Not in the universe I live in right now - we don't have space travel or any of the stuff that's integral to the plot. This is, after all, fiction and the thing about fiction is that it requires a suspension of disbelief (some more than others). That's why we don't cringe when Alice chases after a talking rabbit or Bilbo runs into trolls who turn to stone when sunlight hits them. If all we do is compare movies to the world we live in right now we're bound for disappointment. But...if we just sit back and enjoy the ride it can be great fun.
