The Best Review You Can Get *SOME SPOILERS*

Rating: 9/10 (15 June 2012)

So, Imma HUGE Alien fan. So, of course I was psyched to see Prometheus. My mom even let me miss school to see it on opening day. Sure, it had it's ups and downs, but overall, it was a good film. So, here's the review: The opening scene was amazing. With the 'pale atmosphere' that looks like a Tim Burton movie and the amazing scenery. The movie gets better and better as we are introduced to all the characters and we first land on the planet. The movie flows on smoothly, all building up with the amazingness. Then, all of a sudden, it just drops. For me, the dropping point was when they took Weyland to see the engineer, and he kills nearly everyone. From there on, it just failed to deliver what all the build-up had you expecting. I'm not gonna go into detail about what people were expecting, because different people thought it was going to go different ways. Anyways, it seemed to end somewhat abruptly, and it just kinda got me mad how all the action is happening, then Shaw starts yapping and they're just seen flying off. But, the movie overall was GREAT. The last half hour or so were kinda meh, but if they were to release a alternate ending version on DVD, it would be worthy enough for me to get on blu-ray. (Although I'm fairly sure I just might already get it on blu-ray.) Something that pisses me off about a lot of the reviews is how they keep on comparing it to Alien. Consider it like this: You just started a new year of school. Some of the teachers you have had your older sibling and expect you to be just like him. You're trying to be yourself, but they're just expecting you to be as good as your older sibling and are comparing you to them. That's how Prometheus is. Some critics are giving it bad reviews because 'it doesn't have the horror or suspense of Alien.' Scott was trying to make a completely new film with Prometheus. I don't even think he was trying to make it scary, maybe a bit suspenseful, but not scary. Another thing is that some people say the dialogue was 'boring.' Sure, it was, but who pays enough attention to the strength of the dialogue to where it distracts them from the beauty of the movie? And yes, Fassbender's performance was AMAZING. He stole the show. Overall, I'd give the movie 8.5 out of ten. It was a really good film overall, I'm just sad that it ended somewhat abruptly. Hope you enjoyed my review :)
