This is supposed to be a sci-fi movie, not a horror movie. The problem is that this is supposed to be a trillion dollar scientific expedition to an unknown world, not a bunch of idiots on a camping trip in the woods. Why would Weyland's first reaction be to put an unknown life form inside a crew member, potentially endangering everyone on board? A person with any brain at all would want the things STUDIED to see what effects it has on human tissue....this movie didn't know what it wanted to be.

Just because it sounds smart and just because it asks questions for you to figure out for yourself doesn't make it a good movie. This is the most anti-climactic movie ever. I'm sorry but anyone who hasn't seen ALIEN will need to see it before watching Prometheus to gain some kind of sense of what the hell is going on. Ridley Scott constantly said "It's a stand alone movie" it's not. If it was a stand alone movie then I wouldn't rely on a sequel to give me the answers to the Qs given at the end

Also, for example, in one scene they find lots of dead bodies with holes in their chests...but never any alien remains, so where did those creatures go? I like that the movie leaves you wanting to talk about it, but it had a ton of unexplained things. I didn't even understand the first scenes...he commits suicide why?

I agree, Ridley Scott made a good movie, it stands on its own. I also like the fact that the aliens are a biological weapon. I cant see a planet of these creatures as cool as they look... They have more instinct that brains. Cant wait for Prometheus 2. I just hope they done reboot the alien franchise.

That would make sense, but I remember the ship they found had crashed as well...so unless multiple ships crashed, it wouldn't really make sense. Also, some people were saying the engineers were trying to whipe out the humans to avoid the Predators using them as hosts for aliens or some crazy thing, but it's still not explained why they would test biological weapons which got out of hand on another planet of humans...

So, just what was the opening scene about? My first take was that it was pre-human Earth and an Engineer takes some "poison" that breaks up his DNA and kills him (sacrifices himself to create). His DNA (somehow) helps start the human race. Secondly, if the same symbols turn up in five completely separate cultures, that implies that there were multiple visits by the Engineers or that one was alive during those ages visiting those cultures (unless he created the artworks himself). Thoughts?

Okay, check this out: in Alien, they find the dead space jockey or "engineer" sitting by the "cannon" or "observatory controls". How come he was found sitting there in Alien if in this prequel he died after being caught by the alien octopus? It would only make sense if he had died because of the crash, right?

I believe one of the theories goes like this... The engineers (space jockeys) weapons of mass destruction were contained in the vases as the captain (Idris Elba) call them and were cargo on their ships in cases they needed to be used to terraform other inhabitable planets but there was an outbreak before the WMD could ever be used and humans helped spawn Aliens.

3 things urk me about this movie how the hell did the Engineer aka the Space Jokey end up dead in the control deck of the Engineer's ship when it dies in an escape pod some good 100 -300 meters away? Why didn't anyone notice the escape pod that is suppose to be right next to the ship that had the deceased engineer and Trilobyte. Also how the f-k did the Ultramorph create more of it's kind on a deserted planet that has no life on it and how did it get out of the pod & into the Engineer ship?

I liked watching this movie, it never felt boring, the visuals were great (IMax 3D although the 3D added nothing), but soo many plot holes and unexplained things...In Alien they find space jockey with a hole in his chest still holding the gun, that alone didn't make sense. Lots of parts just didn't quite make sense and questions were left unanswered.

but I do think maybe the actual dialogue in many parts of the script cud hav been more polished. I think the main problems especially with cast was that they were all familiar with the director, and the work, they expected straight away that it wud b a big success becus of the series. With Alien it was made at a time where there was alot of originiallity, and the actors bk then were all mostly unknown, and didnt know or expect what they had become part of, with that film becming so big.

Some things David can't do just because, like disobeying humans, the movie says so; yet there he is opening phials of poison despite the lead scientists telling him not to touch anything BEFOREHAND, which indicates an overriding command (from weyland). The movie wants you to think that he's acting on his own or that he's being overridden to sabotage the mission, they leave both possibilities open (sort of) until after the fact you realize neither is applicable. Production is playing both angles.

Liked to throw out some ideas about this sneaky movie. The crew tried to make contact with Earth three times (twice in space, once on the moon) and could never get through. Had Earth been destroyed already? The bad choices the crew made (taking off helmets, messing with the snake) happened shortly after the crew drank something David gave them. What did David do during those 2 years the crew slept? He seemed to know more than he let on to. What were the hollow-grams running from?

That's totally understandable, nostalgia is a powerful thing, I geeked out also at all the references like the Space Jockey and how a Xenomorph got made.

The disappointment with Shaw and Holloway was mainly because they wanted to meet and talk to their makers, and had been wanting to for ages, that was the reason they became archaelogists and had been researching the Engineers, or searching proof (they were the ones that fought to have Weyland fund their dream, or at least take them on board on his expedition), they weren't there just to meet an alien lifeform. There's even that "viral" ad on YT where Shaw is contacting Yutani Corp to fund them.

I saw Prometheus last night and i found it a very interesting and visually arresting film, with the hallmarks of a Ridley Scott SF film. It was bold and ambitious, but it failed to reach it's full potential. The film left many questions it raised unaswered and the motivations of some characters were unclear, but it wasn't as bewildering as some people make it out to be, i understood it. It had good performances from Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Idris Elba and Charlize Theron.

My guess was that the big question was a distraction. The David character had something going on that he wouldn't let anyone else in on and he seemed to know too much. He opened doors in the caverns when he shouldn't, infected Holloway with that black goo (pool table scene, he puts his finger into Holloway's drink before serving it). Also they tried to contact Earth three times with no success. Had something happened there?

Okay fair enough, but as a fan, did you ever want the whole origin of the SJ to be explored? or did u prefer it to stay a mystery. I wud hav hoped the BluRay release of the film wud open up more things for fans espeically, and maybe change thier views of the film sumwhat, having more understand behind it. Ridley even said, u gotta try new things, dare to try and explain our origins, even if it upsets some people.

As a matter of fact, David is sabotaging the mission before he puts the poison in the doctor's drink by activating one of the bio-weapon vases and leaving it to gestate in the room with all the phials. It was the very first thing he did as soon as he got the doors to that room open. So, you see, he was acting from the start to sabotage the mission as we imagine at the time under company orders, but analysis after the fact shows the company had no idea about any of that. David just does it. Nuts!

I see Prometheus like this, that the first people to discover such things were maybe not always ur keen explorers, it is usually random and unexpected people that accidently make great discoveries. And the Prometheus crew were certainly very random, mostly indiividuals who were not really concerned at the bigger picture of man's greatest discoveries. The clues and things in the film hint at a bigger picture, sumthing that played out way before our time. Like wen Pyramids were first discovered.

The question that will never be answered is how the journey to the darkest corner of the universe only took two years when the nearest galaxy to ours (Andromeda) is 2 million plus light years away never mind the darkest corner of the universe. The other major flaw is that all this took place a mere 80 years in the future and technology would not be able to conquer those distances in that near a future.

Wish films could do that to me still. In a way, a film moving you like that is something to be respected. And I noticed you're talking about the psychological/plot parts, and not the gore/horror. If it had that effect on me, it would have made this a very memorable film for me. (I still give it a 7.9). Last time a film did that to me was Requiem for a Dream, which I've seen once and will only ever see once, but cherish it as a powerful film.

He knew something no one else knew which is why he seemed to be conducting his own experiments. This movie was so freakingly good, looking forward to seeing it again in the larger IMAX version.

Well I think thats true. The thing is the following: This was a movie, said to "Ask the difficult questions" and "to have a very rich mythology around it". I think it was a relatively decent film but in my view it didn't push boundaries and it wasn't edgy. Her performance was ambiguous regarding her origin but why is that so important outside of the movie? It makes you think when you are interested in her as a character but not outside of the movie.

(Part 4) You are also correct about most (maybe all) movies containing errors, and from a production standpoint it is practically impossible to make a film without errors. That said there are different levels of mistakes. Continuity errors tend to be smaller, like a shirt being buttoned and in the next cut it being open, or movement of props in the background. These elements can undermine a viewers verisimilitude, but are forgiveable (unless you see a wristwatch on a roman soldier, yikes!).

I totally understand this movie. The alien in the opening scene was some sort of rebel Ghandi type figure or criminal, doesn't matter, who was marooned on earth for his actions and or beliefs. The thing he drank dispersed his dna and triggered human evolution which may have been all part of his plan. The other aliens found out and engineered a the monster that killed the last alien from the tiny snake alien thing to wipe us out either out hatred for the "creator" or some kind of alien hubris.

I find what Ridley has done was b mostly subtle about it all, he hasnt been heavily handed with visuals, used alot of location shooting, sets and such. And less green-screen and that has worked, but also he held bk on gore,violence and such. Where there was violence it was still very good, gritty. But hes made a fiarly adult, deep intlliegent film. Its not a pure monster, scifi horror. Which I like, its certainly a scfi thriller, adventure even, but with mice deep Ideas.

I got the impression that this might have been a 3 hour movie, but Fox Studios wouldn't go on a film that long. At 2+ hours it moved surprisingly fast. The more I thought about it afterwards, the more I liked it. What I had felt were plot holes weren't if you take a different look at it. Perhaps it was not an invitation, but a warning to stay away. Maybe mankind wasn't supposed to travel into space. The "super being"'s reaction then makes sense. I plan to see it again this time in 3D.

This film was never supposed to be simply about the characters. Much like the original Alien wasn't about it's characters. It's about the grander scheme and how the people that are in the film are just players in it. The backstory/ origin of those "goofy looking" aliens (that we look very similar to) is very significant as it sets the motive for the whole film and was Scott's intention in the first place as to build a world around.

Yes I agree, on ur last part this is Indeed very likely too, but lets suppose the planet at the start was not "earth", then thats gotta b some coincidence if they (engineers) played absolutely no part in our creation at all, and yet we look so humanoid like them. Furthermore there r deleted scenes and a picture which shows and states "Concept for the Prologue ship as it arrives on primordial earth". So even tho its never entirely expressed in the film, Ridley certainly intended it to b "earth"

Just wanted to add a second note. Ridley Scott is a very meticulous film maker. So he wouldn't have gotten sloppy with the dialog or the choices the characters make. Some reckless behavior by the crew could be due to their excitement discoveries made. I saw it in 2D because all of 3D was sold out for the entire day. Going back to pick up plot points and see the enhanced visuals in IMAX. Great review.

All those movies you mentioned are great. But none of them put a grin on my face or had me cringing like Prometheus did. Maybe its because I'm such a HUGE fan of the Alien series, but every time there was a reference to Alien there was a giant smile on my face. So where movies like Moon and Inception are much smarter and arguably more well made, they didn't have the nostalgia factor that Prometheus totally had, for me at least.

Well, I found her performance to be done well. She portrayed a human with a very, VERY robotic nature to it, which also led to some ambiguity of whether she was human or not (she was, but I digress...). I felt it served as a juxtaposition against Fassbender's "David", who was an Android, yet contained some distinctly human elements, and served as the element of wonder and discovery within humans.

I didn't mind Prometheus. Sometimes the acting bugged me from some of the supporting characters. Maybe for me I am willing to just accept the film doesn't WANT to explain it's ideas to me, just present them and ask me to put myself in that scenario. To simply indulge my senses was what most drew me in. It did that very well, and I don't always believe an artistic creation needs to do EVERYTHING well. Especially considering how much fucking garbage is out there. This one has the glow of trying

Saying Prometheus is a prequel to Alien and Aliens, is like saying Saving Private Ryan is a Prequel to Forrest Gump. I know this is a stretch of a comparison because both were centered around real wars and events.. but you get the idea.. they are independent in their own rights.. they just happen to be two story lines occurring in the same universe. I mean if you have a franchise big enough you could make a movie in the same realm without it being a sequel or prequel.

Great movie. Only problem I had was I wish it was longer - like 3 hours. It just felt like they had to put so much into 2 hours. I hope the blu-ray DC is 4 hours, heh.

I would not consider this movie a prequel, more of a spin-off. Same universe, different direction. As much as I loved the Alien movies( 1 and 2 only) they were really nothing more than monster movies. Prometheus has horror, but it comes in the form of coming face to face with a creator, who for whatever reason wants to undue his creation. Plot holes abound, and questions are unanswered, but I still enjoyed it. And yes there is a sequel planned.

Haven't seen this yet but definitely will after this review. I love how controversial it has been. One thing-Star Wars really pioneered the grimy space travel sets in 77. Alien came out in 79. Also these are two of the very best movies in cinematic history. The Thing (82) is the only movie I can think of that approached Alien/s in sci fi horror.

Don't hold your breathe. Just because the ending suggests it does not mean its going to happen. Even if it does, Scott certainly will have nothing to do with the sequels. (and no, James Cameron isn't going to give us "Prometheuses".)

'According to Scott, though the film shares "strands of Alien's DNA, so to speak", and takes place in the same universe, Prometheus will explore its own mythology and ideas.'

my only problems with the film was sum of the acting, I dont nessesarilly think the characters were weak, I think they were all Important to the story/plot. Even the 2 characters most people hav complained bout, Fifield and Millburn. I see these characters, most the crew really specifically selected by Weyland, becus he wanted people with a level of expertise but not actually really interested in the main goals of what they comes across. He wanted this for himself.

The original script for Prometheus was damn good in comparison to what the end product was. Wish they would have gone with that.

well just for ur last part, "I postulated on her not surviving without sustenance." Thats easy, its obvious the juggernaut craft hav faster than light space travel capabilities. Im sure she wud just use 1 of thier cryo sleep chambers to get there. As for actually arriving there, I will speculate any Engineers she soes meet, wud sort her out food wise. Thats the last thing to focus on, I mean I cant see it bieng, she reaches the engineer homeworld and just gets killed.

(Part 6) The bigger mistakes like David being psychic which is kind of your best-case-scenario for the film, only serve to intensify the spot-light on the smaller mistakes: stupid scientists, weyland lives, weyland is your father, david disobeys, until once you've finally counted it all up you realize you can't even recognize the film as a story anymore. The characters look like cardboard now, and the film looks like malformed clay in Ridley Scott's hands, the magic of movies has fled.
