Prometheus

I know I posted the trailer a little while back as I was floored by how amazing it was.  I was so excited and couldn't wait to get to the cinema to watch it. I had no idea what to expect but booked tickets as a birthday present to myself.

Prometheus is the prequel to the Alien trilogy, the story behind the story.  In short, its crap.

I was so dissappointed by it.  A group of scientists and a robot stop in a foreign planet to see some anomolies in search of how human life started.  They land, they talk a bit, the investigate some structure, a couple of scientists get booted off by some Alien babies.  The main scientist Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) finds one of the alien beings and discovers that in fact they are early humans, three times the size of regular ones.  The Aliens are based on Human DNA.  Shocker. 

Some more man Alien mishaps occur and lots of people die.  Shaw survives and flies off.  Only an hour after performing a self caesarian section.

TOO MANY PLOT HOLES, stupid action, all of it in the trailer so no need to see the film.  The big dissapointment was the 3D.  When you go to the Imax in London, you get a special 3D presentation just before the begins showing off the spectacular effects and how great 3D can look. 
And then the film starts, and it barely utilises the 3D effect.  So what's the point.

The script laughable, its like they never watched the Alien films.  And the directing?  Scott doesn't hark back to any of the the original films and it looks like he never directed it at all.

A real shame.
