Started today but I'll probably wait a week or so for the crowds to disipate:wink:

Looks like alot like the Alien movie I seen in the past based on the trailer.

Just heard another review on the radio. The reviewer said ''Very absorbing but screenplay was weak'' 71/2 out of 10, but a caller said ''Best 3d he's ever seen...fantastic looking film''....sounds like fun!!

its basically a prequel to the first Alien movie

If you are familiar with Greek Mythology then you can only suspect that something with the title Prometheus will end badly and will follow a story line of unintended consequences.

saw it, was very disappointed

Same here. I watch even the 3D and I'm not impressed. My only consolation was I got a free courtesy ticket to see another.

I've seen it too and it was okay but not worth going to the movies for (it's rather expensive here in Sweden). As a fan of the Alien trilogy I felt they should've left all the Alien references out of the movie due to them not being true to the original Alien movie, as it was now, it was only annoying.

On a scale of 1-5 I would give it a 3.

In other words, a bit of disappointment.

Thanks for the reviews! This one was on my list to see in a theater but now I'll wait for it to be on HBO or Showtime.

IMO, there hasn't been a fresh idea in sci-fi movies since The Matrix, All comic strips have been visited and revisited, even some (Ultraviolet) that never existed. We have seen prequels for everything, most notably Star Trek both in tv and movies, and Caprica, which is supposed to be happening before Battlestar Galactica. We've even got Alien vs Predator. Avatar was good but, again we ended up as the bad guys. It seems we always end up as the bad guy somehow. I think humanity has a very low opinion of itself and I don't think it should.

but you can revisit (reimagine) and make it good or even great. Most recent Star Trek was incredible with strong characters and decent character development and an original storyline..even BSG was reimagined from the 70's original and was some of the best sci fi ever ..i understood what Scott was trying to do with having multiple characters represent single archetypes (that made ALIEN an incredible movie), but it just watered down the movie. Not to mention how the terrible storyline forced Scott to create the progression of alien development in Prometheus that just ended up looking superfluous and downright cheesy

 

[Eric Muehlbauer]

my kids hated it.

Oh woe is me! I was hoping for a good film, however, I never expect answers from movies, but I enjoy the digital
special effects. How was that? Good?

The Amazing Spiderman on July 3rd ..looks like its true to the original comic storyline too...looking forward to this one

 

[Stone]

How can you spend so much on how a movie looks, and throw in such a lame story. Scott...you really stuffed this one up!!!

From what I've seen, it should be called ''Spiderboy''
