those who saw it...be honest

From the Empire review: "Early on we glimpse beneath the exoskeleton — sorry, spacesuit — and the Space Jockey, sorry Engineer, turns out to be a overly-pumped bald bloke with dead-eyes who has no dialogue...." Thank God they have no dialog!......and that reviewer sounds like they could be one of the disgruntled fanbots on here: "oH noes, itz justa SUIT??!!!!" Yeah dude, sorry that rocks your world in a bad way...........whatever.

Again...I'm hearing it over and over..."I was EXPECTING this...and I got THIS instead."....

Hello everybody, I have seen the movie yesterday evening. What i would like to say first of all is please, stop being "intellectual" about it, and don't take care of the critics: just go and see it because it is what YOU feel while watching that counts (yeah, we are always all alone...). I have been thrilled by Alien and Aliens, and I am more than a "fan" in a sense that these movies (and other sci fi or not) have left a trace in me, and this is what cinema is all about: you get involved with the characters, the music, the atmosphere, an alchemy takes place in your hearth that arouse the primal feelings in you: you get inside the movie, you want them to survive ! and this feeling remain with you and follows you after you have left the theatre, and...all your life (sounds stupid but...this is true) . I felt nothing like that with Prometheus. (Tried to post something similar yesterday, didn't work....hope it will this time.)

Watched it. Compared to a movie I've watched 50 times since I was born (Alien), it answered a shitload of questions. Dialogs are too short but better worded than any other Alien movie. David the android seemed to me like the most interesting android in the series in his psychology and relation with humans. Sometimes I saw CGI and had to try real hard to believe it was CGI. Of course we are not a fan of Prometheus yet, it's been out for a week only and no one in their right mind had the time to process all of it. Remember that the only explanation given about Alien was: "The perfect organism. I admire its purity. A survivor … unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality. " That's it, and then 2 hours of people being stupid, making mistakes and dying. Now saying that Prometheus doesn't answer a whole bunch of questions and that Alien or its off-topic sequel by James Cameron are good enough to be classics in compare is hypocritical. What would you say about Blade Runner then? It doesn't serve any explanation on a silver or paper plate. The questions added by Prometheus are the origins of mankind, and people expect to see Dumbledore sit us down by a fireplace and break down to us the secret that can negate millenniums of theology, evolutionism and philosophy. Even Darwinism has "plot holes", and requires a little bit of faith and speculation. Go see Prometheus with an open mind and you will not be disappointed.
