Great expectations often lead to great disappointments

Rating: 5/10 (15 June 2012)

When I first saw the teaser of Promethesus, I believe it was January. Man was I excited. I couldn't wait to see a science fiction blockbuster. Then there was the trailer. Wow! I was amazed, and it was a sure thing for me: it's going to be something to remember. But it isn't. I went a few days ago to watch it. Amazing special effects, a great beginning of the movie, but then there was nothing. Sure, the movie looks great. It has some overwhelming views, some effects that knock you down. But when it comes to the scenario, it sucks big time. The movie has no line to follow. Some things happen with no reason, other things just don't happen, although they should. There were some ideas in the movie that were brilliant. But the way they were presented in the movie sucked. I had great expectations from this movie, so the disappointment is ten times greater.
It's something that could have been always remembered, but it's something that will be quickly forgotten. Unfortunately...
For me things are clear: we shall never have science fiction movies based on the aliens subject so good as Aliens, Predator, Predator 2. Seems like scenarists just don't have anymore ideas to do something great. It's a pity, but it's the truth. When you have the technology that you have now, it's a pity. But I guess the subject is over, so, again, it's a pity. Man, am I angry...
