Prometheus — Description
Okay, so I saw Prometheus on opening night, and again last week. Loved every minute of it.

A lot of people hated it, and I don't quite understand why. While the movie was rife with some average performances(what movie isn't though?), it had a couple of superb performances, notably Fassbender and Rapace.

The film was one big fanservice to fans of the original Alien, and those curious about the space jockey and its possible motives. The movie answered every question well, and left a bunch of new ones, which I appreciate a lot. But that praise is one of the biggest sources of critique against this film. To me, a film that answers all of your questions just undermines your intelligence. So the first film in decades to treat it's audience with intelligence is scorned, which has a lot to say about people nowadays.

The engineers were perfect. Their designs were truly disturbing and unsettling(in a good way), due to their complete likeness of being a living breathing renaissance sculpture.

So yeah, I loved it. In the Alien series, I would say it's right on par with the original, and they compliment each other well. I liked it much better than Aliens, and obviously better than all of the crap that followed it.
