Alien Fan? Settle with the series and never look here.

Rating: 1/10 (25 May 2013)

Being young, I suppose I don't have the 'connection' many others have here having followed Ridley for a long time. However, one thing we do share in common is our appreciation for the "Alien" movie.
Just a little heads up to anyone out there who still hasn't seen Prometheus and was hoping it would be a good prequel to Aliens, please -- be happy with what you have, and forget about this modern 'wannabe'.
*SPOILERS*
Honestly, if I could erase the hours I spent on watching this film, I would. It is an utter piece of garbage, and completely unworthy of the "Alien" title disregarding being a standalone movie. The only good thing about this film was the first few minutes, and after that -- trust me, you would want to kill yourself.
First off, this whole "Prometheus" project was supposedly a billion dollar science expedition. Now, if they have had good proof about life on other planets, fine by me. By good proof, I meant something better than a few cave paintings (when it is known that religion ruled the world for a long period of time - who knows if these aren't just paintings of what is perceived to be 'God'?) and a nut case scientists who tells you "It's because I choose to believe in it".
A nut case scientist who you'd instantly want dead after her first stunt of lugging some decapitated head into the mother ship with no caution what-so-ever; before whining about how we can't bring infected people back into where we live, and then hating the hell out of the offspring of said infected individual. She was practically begging with ridiculous reason that we can still cure said individual ten minutes ago. Now she couldn't wait to kill whatever was inside her immediately because it was obviously a monster. Oh and did we mention she was supposed to be a sterile woman?
All the characters were not true characters with no relatable emotions. None of them made any sense in the decision they make - a biologist who walks away from a dead alien corpse? A geologists who'd rather go back in the ship instead of studying rocks on an alien planet? Said two 'scientists' who freaked out about a dead body but decided to play cool when they encountered a life, worm-like creature? The muddled science was already too much -- care to screw up human emotions too?
This rant and the list of errors could go on forever. (EG what's with the typical, over-used family plot and the old powerful figure behind it all?)
1 star for Fassbender's performance, and quite frankly, that was it. Count CGI in on it as well if you wanted to, but the story just killed it as soon as they wrote it.
