Disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (11 June 2012)

I marked this as a spoiler although I don't know if it is one. I have just watched Prometheus 3D. What a disappointment! I have always been a fan of Scott's, beginning with The Duelists. Blade Runner is my all time favourite movie. Gladiator is a masterpiece. Prometheus, though... I'm afraid Ridley Scott has lost his touch. The only credible character is Theron's, all the rest are a bunch of amateurs in this movie. The plot is so shallow, there are many parts that make no sense. How can a human possibly get that kind of abdominal "self-surgery" and then immediately stand and walk? The "engineer" who is still alive acts as a madman while he is supposed to be a superior being. So, what are all those black fluids in the vases? Some kind of biologic weapon? And the octopus? I mean, why would the "superior beings" want to infect humans with octopi when they can do it with a droplet of black fluid? The android is supposed to have "no soul" yet it is obviously plotting and being ironic all the time. And the alien at the end, where did that come from? He looks neither like the octopus nor like the aliens in the other movies. When I saw how Prometheus began I expected it to be a great movie; instead, it's a mess.
