Even a turd can be made to shine (in the public's eye)

Rating: 1/10 (22 June 2012)

Make no mistake (until now) I was a fan of Mr Scott. Indeed, Blade Runner is my favourite film of all time. Clearly the writers were geniuses on Blade Runner, not the director.
This film is without doubt proof that even turds can be buffed to shine for the mass idiocy of the public viewer. The stupidity of the plot (or lack of it) is mind boggling at points it had me squirming in my seat, when the aliens definitely didn't. The lack of realism in physics equally so. Note: you do float in Zero-G, atmospheric re-entry requires ceramic shielding and after an operation, people require time to heal internal wounds. Physics people, physics! Whether its having an eye infection and not reporting it, running a marathon after a stitch-up for an alien C-section or having a space-ship (weighing N-many tons, not disintegrate under stress) roll on you and not kill you or depress the ground in any way. This can and does all happen in the world of Prometheus.
Dialog wise Prometheus is less thought provoking than wondering what the writers were thinking when they wrote it. They thought the CGI department could make up for their uselessness. I've seen the story placed in the realm of 2001: A Space Odyssey. 2001 is a thinking persons film and asks good questions. It has this thing called realism and subtlety. 2001 is the genius - Prometheus is the village idiot with good hair. If you think Prometheus is thought provoking then you should check you don't move your lips when you read.
Don't waste your time seeing this film. It'll only make you cry that you wasted some of your life to see it.
