Review of Prometheus (2012) by Tom T — 10 Jun 2017
I didn't enjoy this as much as many others. Decent portrayals, very good CGI, but the subplots take away from the overall story and slow down the film.
Charlieze Theron and her weird arc did nothing to add to the movie, and the bizarre Lazarus storyline wasn't necessary either. The crazy C-section was interesting, and the various alien elements worked as set pieces but truly the film is a mess. Other than the 'ancient alien' reveal there were too many unexplained oddities to forgive. The swimming eel-like creatures? The giant squid-snake at the end? The monstrous super-powered mutated humans? Too much you-know-what packed into a too long film.
Fassbender and Rapace can't sustain all the extraneous crap.
