Prometheus (2012)

I honestly don't know what to say about this film. I watched it last night and I still don't know if I liked it or not. The spacesuits are nice but so were the ones in Planeta Bur! I'll watch it again and see if I can grow an opinion one way or the other. The one thought that I'll share right now is that Alien was a B-movie raised to the level of cinematic art. Prometheus may well be the same thing but in reverse.

    I think you nailed it. I left the cinema blown away by the visuals, but as the film has percolated through my brain over the last few months I came to realise just how half-baked he whole thing was.

    A beautiful production in search of a finished script with likeable characters.

      You both nailed it. I really wanted to love this movie but in the end it was just great special effects and not much more. I read the original screenplay and if they had stuck to that, then it would almost have been a great film. Alas . . .

      Thanks for all the comments Paul. All very welcome. Still not got round to that second viewing yet. Still waiting for the right rainy Sunday afternoon, when I need to slob off a big dinner. If I can't like the film under those conditions then I never will!

    As far as the spacesuits go I didn't like the main actors suits but the technicians had a grey suit that I though looked much better then the blue all clear helmet suits.

      I think there's one picture of that one above but when I finally get round to that second viewing, I'll grab a few screen caps and do another post
