Review of Prometheus (2012) by Arkonblade — 08 Oct 2012

I am a Huge fan of the first two Aliens films and a back story I thought sounded great and it sounded even better when I heard Ridley Scott was gona be directing . I thought has to be eather him or James Camron no one els can do this right.

unfortunitly I don't know if old age has taken its tole on Mr Scott or he just got handed a script that got rewritten to death but in the end Prometheus has major plot and character issues. it just doesn't develope any of them very well.

The pacing also feels very sluggish and I am not even sure what this movie in the end is trying to pull off. Its also a major let down that the Aliens don't make a showing in this film atleast not till the very last sceane .

If it had more of them with some more suspense , horror , and alittle action could have improved this alot. In the trailers it tried to make it feel like its a suspense horror flick but really thoose elements feel so small in this film .

The special effects are great and the acting is ok and 2 of the creatures do look kind of cool but thats about the high light of the film . Its been going on 30 years since we had a Great Aliens Film and it looks like we will just have to wait longer.
