Review of Prometheus (2012) by Bookoojohn1 — 12 Aug 2018

I really liked this film but there were many missteps in how the crew were assembled. In real life, you would never spend so much money on a “mission” of any kind without preemptively getting EVERYONE to buy-in to said mission.

To travel a hundred million miles & then try to pitch that **** crew into believing is simply retarded. Also, my biggest complaint is the dude who played the part of the love interest of female Dr whatever who was the anthropologist.

He would make a good casting decision if he was playing some uneducated, city drug gang member but not a PhD! NO WAY. For me, I want the characters to be believable and not incongruent with whom they are supposed to be playing.

One more: I think it would have been so much more interesting to have developed the story with the big muscle aliens who had our DNA and created humans. Instead it was the typical monster alien cliche.

There were so many possibilities that I feel were ignored so they could create the typical storyline. But I have to say I still loved the film and the music couldn’t have possibly been any better. I’ve watched it five times.

Ridley Scott you are an amazing director.
