Storywatcher Notice: I wasn't hyped at all as I'm not a geeky cinephile. I found it highly entertaining and I was tense all the time, loved it. Technically, however...1. A little ALIEN-ish. 2. Clichéd as the main hero is the only one to survive but loved how the main character was a woman. 3. Unnecesary/convenient second sex scene, they could be more realistic, like falling asleep from deprivation, sickness, etc. 4. The most absurd thing: Why a robot would redye his hair (roots)? He doesn't need a body to live, I don't get how he has to retouch some "natural" hair in the first place. (refer to first scenes when David watches an old movie he's obsessed with) 5. 3737282866 reasons to find bad things and incongruencies.My favourite scene was the caesarian procedure. It was interesting and I'm well aware there was once a doctor who operated on himself for appendicitis, so...Don't hate it hut I didn't fall in love. I had contradicting feelings about this movie.

Fallen Eye It took an entire 33 years, for this Alien franchise to show any signs or promise of progress. A WHOLE 33 years. Alien sparked questions it didn't answer, however, that is understandable as it was the first and posing questions was its role. However, Cameron's Aliens, Fincher's Alien 3 and Jean-Pierre's Resurrection did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, NOTHING, NO-THING, to move this story forward, and for that, Prometheus is automatically FAR, FAR, FAR, better.What are these aliens? Where do they come from? What do they want? The planet on which they were found, is that their home? If not, who's home was it before their invasion? These are some of the many questions that, 3 sequels and 2 spin-offs over a period of THIRTY THREE (33) YEARS, NEVER, EVER, WHATSOEVER, bothered to address, or even acknowledge, until Prometheus.Admittedly, the characters in Prometheus, including their actions, seem a bit warped at times. Charlie seems to give up INCREDIBLY easily. 1 visit to the alien ship, with zero exploration anywhere else, including all the many other parts of said ship, and he is ready to completely give up, after a lifetime worth of work, and a once in a lifetime opportunity. The 2 copilots felt extremely random. Janek seemed majorly unbothered, even at the expense of his fellow crew members. Miss Vickers it appears, should've really stayed on earth, though in her defense, there is a part in the film where she provides some acceptable rationale, when talking to her father. And David, at some points was intelligible, and then at others, inconsistently questionable.However, because this film FINALLY addressed questions lingering for DECADES, with ultimately awesome answers actually, it was thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining. The aliens were manufactured by a superior version of humanity, who created humans too, and now seemingly want to use those aliens to destroy us. Why? How? When?Prometheus is NOT perfect. It is very flawed. While taking place in 2094, Prometheus is before Alien, which took place in 2037, among many of its imperfections, including mainly how it handled its characters. However, the story finally moved forward, but more importantly and relevantly, in an EXCITING way, with perhaps the most incredibly appropriate titan, I mean, title.Here's to hoping we don't have to wait until 2045 to find out who this superior race of humans actually are, where they come from and what their agenda is. 7/10.

Dar Star I have to admit that the first time I saw Prometheus I thought it was just awful. After viewing Alien Covenant where the story is expanded upon I decided to see this movie again. I don't know what I must've thought. Prometheus is actually a very interesting and well done movie. I think having the context of its sequel answered a lot of questions about this movie. Admittedly there are still some gaping holes esp those regarding what the motivations of the Engineers really was at the beginning of the movie juxtaposed to the end. Nevertheless I found this thoroughly enjoyable and have already rewatched it multiple times and enjoyed it even more. I would give it a strong 8 out of 10

matei_adrian Besides the great visuals and special effects, this movie has nothing. The plot is utterly pathetic to the point that I had to force myself to keep watching it until the end hoping that something will happen, something that will make me forget that the entire story was a complete shipwreck - but it didn't. Note: If someone reading this is somehow immortal and you have an eternity to live, it's still not worth watching this movie.
