Viewing Notes

I liked Prometheus a lot, which I was a bit surprised by, considering this was my most anticipated movie of 2012. I didn’t have any set expectations going into this, though I felt that it wouldn’t be anything like Alien, which to be honest, I was thankful for.

That’s not to say that the movie isn’t without its problems, but I think it’ll take a second viewing to sort those out in my head. It does suffer from attempting to do too much, and I feel like there probably is a longer cut of this movie that we’ll see eventually, but I was pretty pleased with what I saw.

The movie is stunningly gorgeous, a pleasure to look at; and everyone does a great job acting their roles, especially Idris Elba and Michael Fassbender (can these two do no wrong?). Noomi Rapace also more than holds her own in the leading role.

I watched this in 2D with my whole family. The kids liked it a lot as well, though my wife felt there was something missing. She enjoyed it despite that.

I get the feeling this is one of those Ridley Scott movies that will only get better as time passes (much like Blade Runner in that respect).
