PROMETHEUS

⋆⋆⋆⋆ good. not perfect, though. too many little nit-picky things. delivers.

i felt that some of the more important things in the movie should have been explained a little more to avoid confusion and this may be a problem with writing or editing. from opening scene this was an issue. what exactly just happened? you may ask yourself that more than once.
the direction was fast paced, maybe too fast for people like me with questions. this led to problems later on in the movie. we were introduced to some technologies of the future, but not thoroughly enough to allow suspension of disbelief later as these technologies become integral to the plot. this was my biggest problem with the movie. it was almost like the writers had tons of ideas, but didn't care to sell their ideas to the viewers too much and just went with it.

although many people rolled their eyes because the main character is a scientist struggling with faith (equipped with a cross), i felt that it is vital to this story and adds an element of interest. there is a little too much mystery in some of the character's actions making the outcomes a little hard to swallow sometimes, but my favorite character was the most mysterious android "david". well done, michael fassbender.

some of the action parts were a little clumbsy feeling, but the special effects were outstanding and completely overpowered this.

the space vessel 'prometheus' was beautiful and the interior shots were very nice. the technology, especially the computers, was more up-to-date looking.
i really liked the space suits. they seemed to be of a similar technology to the ones in ALIEN only a nicer brand name.
oh, and the engineers (space jockeys, what-have-you) were pretty cool, but there is another extra-terrestrial surprise that is quite impressive and there is some very interesting things going on regarding genetics and reproduction. too bad it is not explained at all. leaves one to question whether the writers know what is going on or not.
PROMETHEUS ends rather strangely with a hint of a PROMETHEUS 2.
