Review of Prometheus (2012) by Delete013 — 27 Mar 2017
If I recall, the original Alien was good because it was, in the first place, a bloody well made movie (acting, dialogues, tension).
With or without the burden of the franchise one cannot ignore the fact that the script is a disaster. It's full of outright stupid situations. Among others, the long awaited contact between humans and space jockey race turns into a less awaited bar fight. Seriously.
In the end, this is no school movie, to let it pass because it 'merely' failed at one of it's crucial parts.
I will not even dive into the squiddish designs (who is scared of a calamari?)... So to conclude, with the script fixed and certain scenes remade the movie would perhaps be decent. Also the overall artistic impression is good. However, still far from it's ancestor.
+ 7 for the work done.
- 5 for the script.
+ 1 for design except..
