Flawed characters and plot, very little or no action. Perfect for memes.

Rating: 4/10 (9 October 2012)

"A team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race."
A team of explorers find the origins of mankind- took them 5 minutes. I dunno about 'darkest corner', but the journey to the planet- 5 more minutes.
"Terrifying battle" - 5 minutes. Only 15 minutes of an hour and a half live up to the ad. Not to mention the film had very little to do with actual Prometheus. What's up with that?
And I expected more and slightly bigger guns- after all, you're on a mission to meet life forms, right? But even more than that, I expected more action. there's literally only one short scene with totally un- entertaining handguns, and there's literally only one other short scene where there's an explosion. Uh-uh, not good at all.
And as for terrifying- to be honest, some scenes had startled me, but I was never terrified for one second. I was too busy getting annoyed at the completely delirious flaws made by the characters.
What the crew of the Prometheus displayed were a complete lack of professionalism, and the characters are so stupid you can spot a meme in the film every five minutes. But I understand why this film got a 7.3 (as of October 2012, and I hope this figure drops)- IMDb hat lots of films that get high ratings not for being films, but for being appealing to a certain political or(non) religious agenda. This is such a case of bad movie w/ good ratings.
Verdict: Graphics are okay, I guess, but due to the poetic nature of them dumb directors there weren't roller coaster scenes, making the use of 3D less necessary. And I don't care how okay the acting (maybe) is, the characters themselves were horrible. Watch this film to relive your childhood mentality where everything makes sense.
