Rating: 5/10 (2 June 2012)

Anyone who has watched a masterpiece "Alien", filmed 33 years ago, probably should not even watch this movie. Complete mash up.
"Prometheus" should be a direct "prequel" to Ridley Scott's milestone film, and it was expected to be something spectacular, incredible, better than "Space Odyssey", "Star Wars" and "Star Trek" together . And, from that point of view - the film is almost colorless, in the manner of new Hollywood screenplay writers mantra – make it as simple as it can be, explain everything twice for those who did not understand what is going on, and "pick up best scenes from previous films, put them in a new blockbuster, and blunt as many viewers as you can".
To many things here are not working together – some unconvincing actors, too many extraneous characters for the structure of the film, costumes and spaceship interior "retro 1980s" design, almost everything in this film simply does not fit the last decade of 21 century.
About the "Aliens", we have seen them all before, no creepy new creatures, even the old ones are not so creepy as expected Nor Noomi Rapace match Sigourney Weaver.
The film could take at least a half-hour less, as we have seen almost all the major action in the 2 minute trailer other scenes are just a pointless expensive filler.
A film that is touted as something that should finally expose Darwin and the purpose of human existence, fails to the extent that there is no single trace of originality, what made the whole SF genre so popular, forcing us to ask ourselves - who is kidding who? In this case, the only thing worth going to the modern mega-21-century-movie-theatre is the question – What would be the feel if we could watch the original "Alien" sequels in hi-tech, back in 30 years. 3D Ripley / Sigourney Weaver remains unfulfilled wet dream...
And, worst of all, it only raises more questions, as we realize at the end of "Prometheus" – must wait for a sequel. It will probably raise just more questions. Then a new sequel. And then a new one, as long as the greedy new Hollywood moguls have it enough...
