I don't understand it, but I still like it.

Pretty much straight off the bat I realized Prometheus was a very intelligent sci-fi horror film that wasn't to be taken lightly, in saying that though I didn't understand parts of it because sci-fi is a rather new genre for me but I still really enjoyed it for the entertainment. I'm sure maybe after another viewing I would probably see the big picture a little better, also I hadn't seen any of the Alien films, so I didn't pick up any of the underlying links between those movies and this one. The story in a nutshell is people go to space, they find a big planet, they find a big cave and then all hell breaks loose as the astronauts play a dangerous game with an unknown and unseen but definitely there presence.
As I said, I'm not a big scifi person, I enjoy them but I don't necessarily run out to watch the new star trek film if you know what I mean, the main reason I went to see the film is because it has Noomi Rapace in it and she impressed me in the original millennium trilogy, and it's great to see that she can still carry a film of an entirely different type, she's great and a really cool leading lady, it's not an easy job to compete with Charlize Theron on screen, but she does so very well, I will continue to look out for her new movies. The rest of the cast is good too, Fassbender is very convincing as a robot and Marshall-Green stands out too, and Theron, well she's always good.
Everything production wise is top grade, the music, the effects, the costuming, everything is excellent as you would imagine it to be, and the script and pacing doesn't lag at all, there's not really any boring moments which is good. This movie is entertaining for everyone, I'm sure more scifi intelligent people will understand the bigger picture but for everyone else it's just a cool night out at the movies.
Great for moviegoers, even better for the fans. :) Enjoy it.
