A feast for the eyes and starvation for the brain.

Rating: 1/10 (14 October 2012)

How this film is averaging 7.7 gawd only knows -- when most of the reviews I've read give it 1 or 2? I'm not an Aliens superfan so I did not bring that baggage to my viewing. I watched it as a stand alone. More fool me.
It is, in a nutshell, a feast for the eyes and starvation for the brain.
The plot is so ill-thought through, so dumb, so full of plot holes it begger's belief. The opening is spectacular but ultimately makes no sense. But before we figure that out we are introduced to the crew of Prometheus who are awoken from stasis. The engineer with the tats? Who would employ him? WHO?!?! Or the rest of them come to that? It's a trillion dollar mission and this bunch of losers are the best they can get??? And from the get-go you know the film is going to be a pile but you sit through it, hoping in vain...
Countless reviewers have listed it's faults and foibles. I can only agree. It's a senseless mess. An insult to the intelligence and Ridley Scott should be ashamed. If so many people can see its countless faults then how come he couldn't? The Grey was bad but this is an utter waste of millions. Shameful.
