Such a frustrating disappointment

Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

I'll tell you why so serious

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Like no word to say2015.1016Why is the score so low in China? I do not understand, and I input Chinese why not to publish? Is there any discrimination against other languages

I cannot stress enough that this clumsy, pretentious, ugly, badly written and badly acted film is literally the worst movie I have ever seen in my life. A film with ludicrously foolish characters, sluggish pacing, baffling plot, insipid jumpscares, no real connection to the Alien Franchise and cast with unlikeable actors, directed by Ridley Scott, a talentless hack. This movie is supremely terrible, and can't even be enjoyed for how bad it is. It's loathesome and boring and nobody ahould ever see it.

Trying to understand this movie gives me a headache. Many scenes don't make sense. Is it just me??

As a distant precursor to the 'Alien' franchise, 'Prometheus (2012)' maintains a generally wide berth but still tries too hard to over-explain what needn't necessarily be explained - retroactively over-complicating and demystifying the previously established lore. The feature itself is mostly joyless, being consistently too serious and just plain dull, and its constant forced existentialism does come across as a tad pretentious. It's really this that kills the piece, as it mistakes itself for some grand comment on the nature of man, and indeed mankind's origins, when it is simply science-fiction schlock. It is almost as if it wants to be classed as 'high-art', to distance itself from the apparent 'B-movie' origins of the franchise, but in the process becomes so much worse and incredibly strained. The simple things aren't even done right, and so the piece isn't even believable on the most basic of levels. For example, the characters keep making decisions that would seem stupid even for children and yet we're supposed to believe they are the scientists chosen to explore a new world. Mostly, though, the movie is just boring. 4/10
