I watched this movie yesterday and wow..... At first I thought it was garbage but the more i reflect on it I just think it was a series of very very subtle ideas hidden behind some heavy handed writing.

And edited to the point of confusion.

What are your thoughts?

so in essence its a failure is what you are saying?

i'm a big fan of the original alien quadrillogy and was looking forward to prometheus up until the point where i saw some previews. from what i've seen in previews it really doesnt seem to do the originals justice.

is it worth $9 to see it or should i wait for $1 redbox releases?

I would definitely go see it. It made me think.... hard, and its been a while since a movie has forced me to break it all down. Im not going to give anything away but in Alien, Aliens, *Aliens 3 Omitted*, and resurrection didn't really need motivation or complex ideas. You had a monster(s) and you had people surviving, this movie expands on it but its very cryptic and the explanations are either open or expanded on in the subtext of the character interactions..... Oh god i sound insane.

The editing was hands down a problem, but I don't want to excuse it by saying the original Blade Runner was a mess and it was only after the Directors cut did it become what it was meant to be.

I wouldn't say it was a failure as much as the actual execution left something to be desired. Lots of inconsistencies, but visually freaking awesome.

It was boring ... until the very end. The ending is so good, it makes up for all of it.

A movie you'll remember :)
