Prometheus

[anansi133]

In self defense, I took myself to see it today. There just too many spoilers floating around in plain view for me to wait any longer. i figured even if I hated it, I'd hate it less if there was some sort of surprise as I watched it.

It is better than most of the Alien movies. And the ones it's *not* better than, it's different from. So, yeah.

But I finally decided i don't like the film for the same reason I ended up not liking Battlestar Galactica reeboot, and the prequel series after it. There is a deeply cynical view of human nature at work here, propping up plotlines that only make sense if you think humans suck.

Since I don't think humans suck, I'd rather believe stories like this one sucks. But go see for yourself. it's definitely worth a matinee price, and even worth a full price evening show if you've got a couple hours to talk about it afterwards with friends. -not something you could have said about any of the other Alien movies!

and when you've finally seen it, check out this guy's take;
