I don't understand all the hate that this movie is getting

Rating: 8/10 (9 June 2012)

Ridley Scott is my favourite director, and like so many others I have been eagerly awaiting his return to Science Fiction. Prometheus offered a chance for Ridley to return to the genre he was best at. Of course I heard he was to direct an ALIEN prequel when it was first announced, and I was excited, but when i heard it was turning into its own unique project, well lets just say that I couldn't help but jump in excitement.
The wait has been long but Prometheus has finally landed in theatres world wide, and for some reason people seem to want to bash this movie. Perhaps its because it is not doing the common Hollywood prequel and is trying to be something unique and different. I totally accept the fact that they want this movie to stand out and be different.
I thought the story was engaging enough to keep me interested in the movie, the special effects and camera work were spectacular, but that is now expected from a Scott film. I found the acting to be great as well, Michael Fassbender was the star of the movie, his job at playing David will be one of the things that many people will talk about after watching the movie.
Some people have been complaining that some characters were really wooden and just fodder for the film. Well of course they are! I completely expected the crew to be expendable and I enjoyed watching their horrific fates.
The music also fit the film as well, I think the major problem people have with the soundtrack is that they think Prometheus is supposed to be just a strait horror movie. The majority of Prometheus is an adventure film, and i think the soundtrack fit the feel of an grand journey and a almost ancient and god like feel to it.
In the end see the movie for you're self, it truly is an amazing work of film.
