When a pulp director believes he has something of value to say.

Rating: 2/10 (25 May 2020)

Prometheus fails on two counts. First of all, it completely falls flat on narrative, which is a convoluted mess that, once untangled, is super flimsy and mediocre. There are no themes in sight that have been explored better by other better writers and directors.
Secondly, because of the deluded idea that this space action horror should also contain deep and interesting philosophical concepts, which of course it does not, it also fails as a space action horror movie, the genre where the original thrived.
So when a director/writer of perfectly fine consumable action flicks get it into his head that he had something of actual value to convey, you get this nonsense. A pretentious bore-fest that has neither the appeal of the original nor anything of interest.
