When a team of scientists decipher what appears to be an ancient map to another world, an exploration vessel is dispatched to investigate in the hope of finding answers as to the origins of the human race. Opinions of Prometheus vary wildly and I suspect that this has a lot to do... read more

Big promise, huge let down!
Don't let the cast fool you, although visually stunning and the premise memorising it leaves you unsatisfied. -

It's sad to see a film crushed under the weight of its ambition, and I hate to admit that Prometheus bites off a lot more than it can chew. I can certainly tell you that I liked the film. I was never bored and I was very fascinated in the mythology and where the story seemed to b... read more

We came from them. They will come for us.

Brilliant. Epic. Haunting. Grotesque. Great. Full Review
Calling Prometheus-or any Ridley Scott movie -- gorgeous is the stingiest of compliments. So let's point out specifics that quicken the pulse. Full Review
Prometheus tells a much bigger story and does it well, but it's missing what matters most. It's inorganic. Full Review
There's definite mastery here, but it's hardly a masterpiece. Full Review
Prometheus--like, in its telling, the human race itself--is a creation spliced from the DNA of superior forebears. Full Review
Much like Rutger Hauer's turn as a replicant in Scott's Blade Runner, Fassbender's performance may launch Prometheus into the cult stratosphere. Full Review
I'll say this much for it -- it's not boring. Full Review
Ridley Scott means to bring wonder and horror back to summertime spectacle, and Prometheus mostly succeeds in that regard. (Mostly.) Full Review
"Prometheus" has the integrity of a serious and sincere attempt, but ultimately it won't please anybody. Full Review
