Very entertaining. Lot of the plot didn't make sense and found myself asking a lot of questions at the end.

Stunning visuals and production design are to be expected from a Ridley Scott film and this is no exception. Whilst set in the Alien universe, this is not an Alien film at all. Instead the film explores mankind's quest to find out who we are and how we were created. Scott touches on the conflict between faith, religion and science, the nature of creation, mankind's need for knowledge and drive to advance whatever the risk. These themes help to make Prometheus much more interesting than what could have been a retread of the Alien films. Rapace and Fassbender have the standout characters here, though Theron more than holds her own. There are some plot contrivances to drive the film forward, such as Shaw's remarkable recovery from surgery and Janek's sudden awareness of what is going on, but Scott still manages to craft a tense and exciting story and hopefully there will be further films to build on this.

Ridley Scott's return to the "Alien" universe, and, oh God, does it suck! I don't understand why people liked this movie so much. Were they just hoping and wanting to like it so much that they blinded themselves to what they were actually seeing? The plot makes no sense, the characters are the dumbest I've ever seen on screen, and the science and technical aspects make it feel like it was written by a Texas home-schooled kindergartner (if you're doing science fiction, you better get the science right). Okay, maybe that last bit is a little mean, but it's still pretty bad. I don't think I've ever rooted for characters dying so much in a movie. It has a few nice visuals. A few. That's it. That's all it has going for it.

Fantastic film, everyone expected an Alien shooter but the story had to start somewhere and what a great way to start it.

Awesome visuals, especially the Giger elements. Unfortunately most of the characters are acting incoherently, irrationally and somewhat randomly. Not the actors fault, they're all fairly good.

6/10.

OK. This was very good.. Ridley at his best. Most people will react in a bad way... people stop.. breath.. and think.. does this have "aliens" in the name..in any way? NO. its not part of the aliens quadrilogy. It's based in the same universe. Very different thing.

Getting that out of the way.. Ridley has pushed this movie since he made the first alien.Why? since he did the space jockey scene he stated that he wanted to get back to that scene and explain it. He partially did it. This is his return to it, and to explain why the hell was that ship in lv426.

This thing has one to be best cinematography of 2012 so far. Very well directed, good tempo. Yes the script seems to have some small problems, but its based on editing. Ridley already come out saying the dvd/blueray editions will have an extra 20 minutes + 30 minutes of deleted scenes.. that's almost an extra hour of movie, that should tie it all up very well.

PS.: Warlord..Dont bring predaliens to the discussion.. its not of the same universe, and was just a way for fox to get a few more bucks out of all the aliens fans.

I really enjoyed this and found it to be an excellent movie. Of course there are questions but there is with any movie. It was far better than say Alien 3. I have yet to watch Alien: Resurgence or Covenant yet. They are on my list.

Just finished it. Feels like someone got me a pretty wrapped present which turnes out to be completly empty. I thought this was supposed to explain things instead it left more questions which I believe Scott intents to follow up on the sequel(s). because if there won´t be any this was a tremendous waste.

@finfan I was shocked to see your rating here, though I understand - it's a movie that has gathered a lot of hate through the years from _Alien_ fans. This is actually one of my favourite sci-fi movies of all time (I keep going back to watch it every now and then) and my most scrobbled movie here on Trakt. The thing is, I went to see this movie for the first time without remembering much from the _Alien_ franchise. So, I just watched for what it was to me: a sci-fi movie. I still don't recall much of the _Alien_ movies to this day (haven't bothered to rewatch them), so I cannot comment on whether this fits the franchise nicely or not but, purely as a sci-fi movie, I honestly believe it's one of the most solid offerings of the genre we had in the last decade. From the cinematography to the soundtrack, everything is so perfect! Engaging visuals, engaging story, engaging acting, the suspense was managed gracefully and was always on point... I just cannot get enough from this movie! I know I'm rambling a lot, but it's just a normal response triggered after seeing the rating and reading the comment made by someone who's opinion I value around here.<br /> <br /> Oh, and _Covenant_, on the other hand, was a movie I found to be a big, juicy, steamy pile of poo (I've only watched that one once and fell asleep halfway through).<br /> <br /> _Prometheus_ will always have a special place in my sci-fi heart.

@misnomer First off, thanks for the compliment. As for the movie: I am in agreement regarding the technical aspect. Very good production. But I really was dissapointed with the story. As you said you didn't remember much from Alien(s). On the other hand I was waiting for this movie for a long time to explain the background of the franchise. I had high expectations that weren't met. The rating reflects a lot of that as it is certainly not a typical "4" movie. I felt a little bit angry to get lured into this movie under false pretense. I can't see it any other way. <br /> Same later with _Covenant_ which I rated even lower. You can read my comment there if you like. I seldom give ratings below five. It mostly happens when I was dissapointed or a movie is really, really awful. In any case it is always a personal perspective.<br /> I do understand why you like it, though.
