So excited to go watch it, walked out feeling like I'd been slapped in the face :(

Not really anything special as a standalone film and no where near my expected Alien prequel quality..

true, was at the midnight showing last night, and as the credits rolled there was just silence, then the sound of people exhaling. think most (myself included) were just disappointed. Its been a long wait for this movie and while its not bad its just nowhere near what it should have been
 
I really enjoyed it. Kept me entertained the entire time. Nice effects, decent story bar a couple of plotholes, but I liked it. Went in with low expectations from hearing review scores, so maybe that helped.
 
Saw it earlier & think its a very poorly constructed film. Poor story, poor editing, confusing plotlines & some really dumb moments :(

Huge letdown please save your money & spend it on something else you will thank me for it ;)

I knew nothing about the film either went in blind & expected a solid sci-fi popcorn movie instead I got a poorly conceived big budget hollywood movie but low on spectacle & mainly boring letdown :eek:

I noticed a lot of reviews are saying the script isn't great, and some of you seem to be echoing that? Just for some perspective - are we talking "Attack of the Clones" bad? Or just a bit dodgy here and there?

Way worse than AOTC (which I personally liked). No logic here & poorly constructed hard to explain what went wrong as little went right actors had so little to do most of the film is spent moving the camera over sets which should be impressive but are merely average.

Prometheus does not contain a single moment of awe from start to finish :(
 
Just got back in from the cinema and I have to unload on here because that was the biggest pile of ******* **** waste of ******* money!

It was horrific! Horrible! Horrendous! I do not think it had a single redeeming feature it was that bad! I can honestly say I have never watched a worse film in my life in the last few years it was that bad!

It was sooooo bad there is little point in deconstructing it peice by peice but I feel I need to mention some points.

DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE FILM!

1. Random star map. Why? What is the purpose of it? Why lure them there? POINTLESS!!!!

2. A biologist, a biologist of all people goes up to an animal which has reared up to you, is hissing in your face and says it is no threat? Really?! REALLY?!?!?!?

3. So its apparently a world where they are making a weapon. Why are they making the weapon? What went wrong for them to need to escape? Why were the running toward a room where the weapon was stored when they died? What happened to all the others who ran into the room before it closed? What happened to the aliens that burst out the chest of those trying to escape? (stupid bio and geo discuss the chest bursting on the pile of bodies before they get got)

4. Why poison the scientists to emplant an alien when they do not even know what it is? No real reasons are given and thinking around it there is no reason why they should do so.

5. She has the alien thing implanted in her, it gets cut out in an emergency operation and no one seems to give a ******** toss! It is not even mentioned again WTF!!?!?!?!

6. Engineer person going mental and killing everyone? Why? No reason at all. Why does it come after her? No reason given. POINTLESS!

7. Geo guy getting turned into mutant?! Why? If that's what they do why didn't she turn into a mutant thing, ignoring that stupidity they then kill it after opening the doors for no reason and after it butchers half the crew no one gives a toss and it isn't mentioned again!

8. What is the point in mega squid thing? What is it's purpose, where does it come from? Why? What is with the random alien that sprouts from the engineer that looks nothing like an alien? WHYYYYYYY!?!??!!

9. Why does the engineers head randomly explode? WHY!?

10. Why go through the process of seeding a whole planet to test a weapon on them (Which was the impression I think they were trying to give) why go through thousands/millions of years of evolution just to wipe them out.

11. If they exactley matched human DNA why did they look so different?

12. Why? Why make this film? Why?

I honestly can't comprehend how bad this film is. It didn't have plot holes because it plain didn't have a plot. It is like they thought of every theory that people have had behind the alien universe and given each one five minutes film time. Nothing connected, nothing made sense, NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING!!!!!

I was waiting for the epiphany moment when everything would just suddenly make sense and make it a really great film but it never arrived.

A dull turd of a film which is just a series of unconnected set peices which have little to no relevance to one another. Shockingly bad :(:mad::(
