It was shit. I doh help that ah really can't stand that Kristen whatevershenameisfromtwilight chick.
Some may still like Snow White... who knows. If you liked watching 'Bella' run around the woods in those Twilight movies then you should be good... there's plenty of that here. She even reprises that whole damsel in distress role she's so good at, except instead of the pale guy with the fangs and nu-age pompadour, she gets to swoon into the arms of 'The God of Thunder'... except he's more 'god of blunder' in this movie.
There's even one scene where she says the Lord's Prayer... which I thought was bizarre, this being a pagan world filled with superstition and the 'dark arts' and all. And then she morphs into Joan of Arc, gives her best St. Crispin's Day speech imitation... and everything's all right with the world. Dim the lights, grab some popcorn and sip some poorly-constituted soda while you're reading this and it'll be just as if you're at the movies.

Ah surprise given how men was anticipating that nobody talking about Prometheus though. Boss movie. And I went in expecting to be disappointed. I think if anything this is a lesson in managing expectations. There were one or two eye-rolling moments, and a couple cliched "white people do dumb shit in horror movies" moment (no offense white people... I kid I kid)... but other than that it stayed true to the genre.
There was one key scene that was pivotal to the storyline and which sought to shore up Rapace's bonafides as a heroine, where the execution was lacking. It just defied belief... any woman who has had a "difficult" pregnancy would relate. Advances in science, medicine and technology aside, that was a pure GTFOH moment. The heroism part was great... we are left questioning not her grit or desire for self-preservation... but rather the sheer improbability of it all. Won't say anymore on that for those still intent on seeing it.
I think it would have been nice had they channeled some more of the "Alien" movies creepy, predatory atmosphere and sequences... but alas. btw... now that I think of it... why do the aliens need humans anyways? Incubators? Hardly, they seem to get along fine in our absence. Then there's that whole retractable inner jaw thing... it's not like they eat our flesh... scary as those mandibles might be. Seems they just like spearing us with their jaws and busting out of our stomachs Meh... kinda weak when you really think of it.
The ending left a lot to be desired, but again... I fully expected (having read the reviews) that there would be no nicely packaged endings here. For me it was all a matter of how they were going to set up the next movie... which I thought was done in an okay fashion. I would have liked to learn more about why we were "engineered" and why the engineers decided to turn on us... it's not like we stole their fire... *shrug*

Ah now come home after watching Prometheus in IMAX 3D and I real confused yes. I looking to scour the internet for some answers. In IMAX the movie have plenty eye candy and sci-fi porn with the details on the technology and widgets and doodads. I agree with yuh Bakes on that particular scene in the medical unit where I had to roll eh eyes and go with it - technology or not.
Overall I went in expecting more sci-fi horror and got more sci-fi philosophizing. Like I said I left the movie with plenty questions. Ah guess we will have to wait on the sequel.
