Prometheus downgraded from I-cant-wait to .. meh

Posted on June 2, 2012 by Martyn Drake

Wow.

Some of the reviews of Prometheus which until recently was my most anticipated film of the year, are really giving the film a bit of a beating. Even the positive reviews berate it in some way – mainly the script.

I was already losing interest given how (too) much publicity Fox was spewing on all the social networks (thankfully I’m not on Facebook any more) and every where else, but now – now I don’t think I can honestly be bothered to watch this thing in the cinema.

P.S. – judging by the reviews, I shall refer to Prometheus as “Space Pub” in that it features a whole bunch of characters waffling on for hours at a time, a giant man punching people, smokey and brooding environments, and absolute chaos. Space Pub. Can’t wait for Space Pub 2: Space Pope.

    I just got back from watching this film, and you’re spot on the mark. It isn’t as good as Alien, and that’s saying something considering the amount of modern cinematography put into this film.

      It _looks_ great, and to be honest, the main reason is to see what’s behind the Space Jockey mask (although it’s already been revealed in the trailers and spoilt extensively) and the other creepy crawlies – but what I’ve been reading suggests the script simply isn’t up to the job.
