i liked the movie. i thought it was a great prequel for the alien series, and has potential to start a new series of horror movies.
this movie is a clone of alien. i was very dissapointed.
this is a horrible movie. i normally like sci-fi but when the scientists walk into a unknown alien environment and the first thing that they do is remove their space suit helmets, you know that the writer's iq is in the single digits
i listen to the review from 680news and decided to go see the movie. it was absolutely one of the worst movies i have ever seen. terrible. time waster. money lost. garbage of a movie.
don't believe anything you hear from know-nothing critics because this movie is better than most "alien" movies including "alien vs. predator" which i happened to love.
flawed but spectacular, prometheus asks the big questions - why are we here; where did we come from; where are we going? - then dares to not only not give us the answers, but suggest that we might no like the them when we do get them! a few dull spots and a couple of plotholes mar what is otherwise an ambitious, spectacular movie. the 3d is exteremely well used (almost as well as scorsese used it in hugo). definitely worth seeing in a theater!
not at all what i thought it would be, left me wanting more. can't wait to see if a sequel will be made. great to see ridley scott do his magic again.
