good movie.
no...we all can't get along...
the story is you basic "ancient aliens made us" nonsense, but the cast is strong and the director is good - overall the film is decent, but the script sucks.
amazing!!!!!
if it "pains you to read reviews" than stop reading them - people are entitled to their opinions.
It pains me to read reviews by people who are not familiar with the Alien movies or at lest the background. If you call this the "worst movie" with "no direction" then you should stick to movies that you can comprehend in the first place. Prometheus is a typical Ridley Scott well conceived, well produced, and directed with excellence movie. You have treat this movie as a piece of a larger puzzle that will one day reveal the whole picture. I was intrigued by this piece and can't wait for the next. As a science fiction movie, this was excellent. If you're looking for typical Hollywood schlock then go see Battleshit (not a typo).
terrible movie! do not waste your time or money! incomplete story lines, and super slow!!
great special effect, but it didnt need the 3d. would have been better with charlise as the lead.
a solid scif-i movie, but not on par with the best in the alien series. everyone involved does a good job here, the only problem is the gapping plot holes. 4 stars.
the original alien grossed 79 million at the boxoffice - see boxofficemojo.com.
