Alien trip

Rating: 6/10 (18 February 2013)

Given that I highly enjoyed 1979's "Alien", from the same director, I believed this one would be even better-- mainly due to the great technology they have nowadays. However, things didn't happen as I wished. "Prometheus" begins with a promising story, good cast and beautiful photography. As the movie goes, sometimes we have some philosophical thoughts about life and its creation, which led me to believe it would be a thrilling moving in the end. I am not saying this movie is bad, but with such cast and budget, it could've been a million times better. There are no big suspenseful or thrilling scenes; in most of them director prepares us to buy the premise, and when it's time for us to get frightened, or moved, or anything, it fails. The only scenes which really entertained me were when that girl took the alien out of her stomach and when the alien went into a guy's mouth; other than that, nothing strong really happens. I can honestly say "Prometheus" isn't what everyone was expecting, and that's a shame.
