I just saw the film and I have mixed feelings. As previously mentioned it is visually huge. The cast is pretty good, especially Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender and Charlize Theron, even if some characters make clear reference to others in the Alien franchise.

The expectations were high concerning the story and I consider that the job is done correctly. That being said it raises more questions than it gives us answers. I would say it is a good prequel for the Alien mythology. But we want to know more about those "origins" of mankind and those "engineers" who remain quite mysterious.

And there is something that do not match in the end or I do not get it. But I don't want to spoil anything.

OK, so maybe it's not the sci-fi masterpiece of the new millenium, still sounds good enough for me.

The film is out here in France and yes, the film is visually huge but the screenplay is disappointing. Damon Lindelof did a horrible job but the film is still excellent.
One more thing : I think that the film would have been better if Ridley Scott cut all the links with the Alien universe. In Prometheus, we don't really know who to see the film and my personal opinion is that if Scott chose to create a new mythology, Prometheus would have been better. (approximate english, sorry if there is any mistake)

Remember this is not a crowd-pleasing entertainment ride a la The Avengers; this is hard science fiction. I have a feeling the true fans of science fiction will get a kick out of it, but mainstream audiences won't be that thrilled about the film besides its jaw-dropping special effects.
Also, sometimes you need to see films multiple times to absorb the themes. Remember 'Room 237' about The Shining. Let's see!
