Prometheus like most sci-fi these days had good special effects (yaddah yaddah). Story line, the beginning, with the world seeding was good. There were some holes like Mr. Tarantino commented about. Like what was the reason behind their seeding, why try to kill us off etc etc. I give it 3 1/2 stars. Possibly a lot of the answers to the movie was left on the editer's floor. But the point here is, when is Mr. Tarantino going to do a sci-fi. Cause I know it's going to be kick a.. when he does. None of that time-line buffalo chip stuff either. The latest, "Looper" with Bruce Willis was really really good. Unexpected endings always are. But the time-line topic has been done to death. Nope to have Mr. Tarantino's signature on it, the sci-fi has to be psychologically disturbing/blood curdling scary matched with an alien or alien culture. The most scary instance is when the familiar becomes alien. Totally alien.

Nice try YOD. That's an excellent defense of PROMETHEUS. "Well, well… uh… The Dark Knight Rises was dumber." Sure buddy.

Any hope of intelligence in Prometheus was lost when the chief scientist took off his hood in a unknown planet. It was plain stupid, nothing can save this lame excuse of movie.

Prometheus was kind of dumb but TDKR took dumb to a whole other level so I'm not sure why Prometheus gets a worse wrap than TDKR.

Prometheus did have a lot of dumb stuff in it. A lot of really stupid "for convienence" actions… but when did The Playlist become all about gossip? Seriously, you're last 15 articles have pretty much been "This guy dissed that guy's work & this girl doesn't like that guy".

You guys are better than that.

I love PROMETHEUS but what really frustrates me about the script is that the really dumb stuff in it would have been so easy to spot and fix. I mean, they could have put any character in charge of the surveillance "pups"; JUST NOT THE VERY CHARACTER WHO GETS EFFING LOST! It would have so easy to have the biologist get attacked and infected without that crazy, CABIN IN THE WOODS "You're so cute!" shit. I'll always be baffled as to how professionals working at that level made such blatant goofs.
