Prometheus
I had a lot to say about Prometheus, two weeks ago, but now I can’t even bother. It’s gone from my memory quickly. I can’t remember my arguments against the movie, but they track with many of the complaints from others.
Number one complaint is how the story wasn’t organic; things happened because they had to happen to advance the plot and not because it was the logical progression of the story. For example, [SPOILER ALERT] two of the explorers get lost just because. Another example, one of the scientist decides to get all drunk even though he kind of proved where life began. It was out of character and just seemed that it was thrown in to get to the next chase.
The movie looked visually stunning in 3-D. That may be all that it has going for it. I wonder if this is going to age just like Blade Runner did.
3 of 5 stars.
