This review is very optimistic, and I hope to leave the theatre feeling the same.

Me too, I have high hopes, but we all know it's not Shakespeare or the Bible! I hope it's fun, scary, thought provoking and beautiful to look at.

I don't have high expectations in the sense that this supposedly is a more straightforward horror film that pays tribute to the classic Alien films.
However, apart from the obvious (stunning visuals, Fassbender, gore,) I do expect better writing, dialogue and more believable characters and smarter actions this time.
Looking back at Prometheus, some of the moments really stood out as unforgivably and undeniably stupid, silly and just plain bad.

The independent is a pretty reliable rag in the U.K.
Encouraging review
