Prometheus
Loved it. If you're any kind of sci fi fan, go see it. Ignore the idiot critics. Ignore the reviews. Just go see it. Too much fun.

Re: Prometheus
We always go with the critics reviews. And then take the exact opposite - if they hate it we love it, and versa vice-a ;-)
Prometheus is on the go-see list for sure...

Re: Prometheus
Someday someone will realize that what the critics are looking for has nothing to do with what sells tickets. People go to theaters to be entertained for a couple of hours. Not to experience a new prospective on the human condition or to refresh our souls. We simply want something that is going to engage us for a couple of hours and make us forget the outside world for a short time.
I too have that "if the critics love it it's probably a loser attitude"!

The only box you have to think outside of is the one you build around yourself.

Prometheus
Saw Prometheus yesterday. Very well made and lots of good scifi/horror/action throughout.
But as a fan of the Alien movies, this one left me with a lot of questions about the overall storyline, not to mention a few plot holes in this film as well.
Still a good summer movie and worth seeing if you enjoy that genre.

Re: Prometheus
Just saw it in 3D. After the surgery scene I'll never look at squid the same way again....

Re: Prometheus
I thought it did a pretty good job of explaining Alien/Aliens.

Re: Prometheus
There are plenty of "holes" in it, though, with much left unexplained. However, the end of the film clearly implies that there will probably be a "Prometheus II" in the future. That seems to be the trend with Sci-Fi and Fantasy films nowadays....but that just means that I will be entertained again one or two years from now!
