Review of Prometheus (2012) by Mo B — 04 Apr 2017
Despite it's subtle, intelligent themes, the Alien franchise sports a fanbase largely immune to artistic complexity. Ignore the fanboys attempting to write like real film critics.
'Prometheus' incorporates both the thrilling opacity of 'Alien' and the seminal art of H.R. Giger, the designer of the original xenomorph.
Just like 'Alien,' it is a pulpy exploration of SciFi's thriller roots, rather than a cheap horror flick. The plot is thin, yet disturbing. Truly shocking elements of body horror emerge from the plodding exploration of an alien world.
By the film's sudden and bizarre climax, all we desire is an answer-laden sequel.
