maybe my expectations were too high but i found this movie a bit disappointing. it was slow and the ending was a bit unsatisfactory. there were a few good scenes though and it did set up for a sequel.

for those that didn't "get it".. well you need to appreciate that it is a perfect prequel to the first alien which scott directed. the other ones cameron took over. anyways, an amazing effort and worth seeing again. ps - if you're looking for a aliens ii kinda nonsense.. this is not it.

it was ok. not bad, not great. i have to admit the visuals were awesome and the acting was good but the story line was same old,same old.
June 13, 2012
this movie blow my mind with the scene at the end before the credits roll and the only other movie to blow my mind was inception.
June 13, 2012
same style as the original alien. sci fi beauty at it's best!

i gave it 5 stars because it was entertaining, a sci-fi mystery, connects in parallel the other earliest alien/aliens movies. it was visually very well done, as well as the sets and props, and the plot was [f.i.n.e] and it wasn't boring. however, it's weakness, like alien/aliens, is the premise for even being out in space with a bunch of third rate amateurs. (goons?). and plenty of nonsensical 'science' holes throughout. but, who cares? it's make believe anyway. it does leave a lot of open avenues, so it serves as a basis for sequels, whether any will be done or not.

so disappointing. not sure scott has even seen the first 2 alien movies. the plot was all over the place, acting weak and the action really disjointed. on top of that, it was boring. not sure where he got a concept for a facehugger the size of a kraken and lets not even mention the worst alien ever right at the end... if you're going to put a guy in a rubber suit, at least put some effort into it...

i thought the movie was nuts!!! i did not enjoy the it.

if anyone was wondering, here is the chronology of the alien and predator movies. the present 1987: predator 1997: predator 2 2004: alien vs. predator 2007: aliens vs. predator: requiem prometheus is a parallel story that begins before alien in 2093. the future 2122: alien 2178: aliens (56 years later) ? ? ? ?: alien 3 ? ? ? ?: alien resurrection (200 years later)

total crap. never rated a movie before, but had to warn you. just ridley scott recycling the meat of the alien story line with a weak broth. do all robots lose their heads in scott movies? if you're looking for a nice soporific couple hours with no plot, no acting and no thinking required, where humanity only sends morons out on trillion dollar missions - this movie is for you. too bad worst rating is 1 star.

one of the worst movies i have seen this year.. story all over the place nothing was explained. for those that think alien wasn't an action movie it was a thriller >>> the same as this one. the thing is thaugh is this movie was neither ... not thrilling and no much action. weak story line and prodictable characters. people walked out of the movie with not even a joyful expression of enjoying the movie. only reason i stayed was because i thought maybe something would be cleared up and not just empty dialogue with no real substance. i got out of there and had to see a good movie went to see avengers in 3d million of times better.

this movie was made to make you think as well as be entertained.this is for hardcore sci fi fans only! ridley scott has left more questions which is making people discuss more possible answers.he knows what he's doing & he's leaving more strong possibilities for another sequel.not worth shelling out extra coin for 3d though,you can admire it's beauty without the glasses.
June 11, 2012
you have to remember this movie wasn't intended to be an action movie like "aliens".this is a science fiction movie...scott said it would be differen't.i understand the frustration with people but if you wanted effects,meaningless story,then watch "battleship".the story was a bit frustrating to follow but it leaves the un answered questions to be answered in a sequel.scott already did a "monster" movie & wanted to go left on this,it's not easy coming up with something totally original to blow people away with,the man is still a genius but he should hire better writer's next time.
June 11, 2012
ridley scott is the best. this prequel does complete the movie alien but opens up too many possiblities in regards to further prequel's. the theme of space travel becoming more commerialized is currently happening in reality so be sure when you go you know who is in charge.
June 11, 2012
bad script along with acting and directing, hope the blu-ray version has extended cut otherwise...forget about it.
June 11, 2012
really enjoyed it. can't wait for the next one.
June 11, 2012
had a chance for great movie but ended up just ok. more of a horror movie then si-fi. most of movie was taken up by writters setting up for next segment ?
June 11, 2012
once again, a great-looking movie that doesn't have an original bone in its story! c'mon hollywood, hire some writers!! it's a shame that ridley scott's talents were wasted. here is what i saw: 10% alien, 10% mission to mars, 10% contact, 10% indiana jones part 4, 10% the fly, 10% the abyss...you get the idea. the only thing i didn't see was some percentage of originality!! grrr!!! go watch it for something pretty to look at, but not much else. did anyone else find the soundtrack distracting?

this movie is so awesome, it's retarded!
June 10, 2012
another summer movie that fails to live up to the hype.
June 10, 2012
good movie.
June 10, 2012
no...we all can't get along...
June 10, 2012
the story is you basic "ancient aliens made us" nonsense, but the cast is strong and the director is good - overall the film is decent, but the script sucks.
June 10, 2012
amazing!!!!!

if it "pains you to read reviews" than stop reading them - people are entitled to their opinions.
June 10, 2012
It pains me to read reviews by people who are not familiar with the Alien movies or at lest the background. If you call this the "worst movie" with "no direction" then you should stick to movies that you can comprehend in the first place. Prometheus is a typical Ridley Scott well conceived, well produced, and directed with excellence movie. You have treat this movie as a piece of a larger puzzle that will one day reveal the whole picture. I was intrigued by this piece and can't wait for the next. As a science fiction movie, this was excellent. If you're looking for typical Hollywood schlock then go see Battleshit (not a typo).
June 10, 2012
terrible movie! do not waste your time or money! incomplete story lines, and super slow!!
June 10, 2012
great special effect, but it didnt need the 3d. would have been better with charlise as the lead.
June 10, 2012
a solid scif-i movie, but not on par with the best in the alien series. everyone involved does a good job here, the only problem is the gapping plot holes. 4 stars.
June 10, 2012
the original alien grossed 79 million at the boxoffice - see boxofficemojo.com.
June 10, 2012
i liked the film, but i have to agree with some of the reviews - the story kind of falls apart by the end.
June 10, 2012
eh...
June 10, 2012
the original "alien" never did poorly at the boxoffice. why come on to this site and lie to try and back up your ignorance of the term "cult classic"? see any box office gross site for the facts.
June 09, 2012
a bit disappointing. story line was quite weak but the acting and special effects were good. does anyone in hollywood have an imagination? i wonder sometimes.
June 09, 2012
but alien when on to be one of the best "cult classic" movies ever created in the sci-fi genre. this movie generates that same feel. so many holes in the plot, however not understanding something leads your mind to a variety of possibilities. it may be a big budget movie, however in time this one will grow on many sci-fi fans.
June 09, 2012
if you used your brain for merely one minute, and based your review around what the critics have been saying... the term "cult classic" refers to a movie that does not do well upon initial release, but in time generates a fan base. the original alien did poorly at the box office. cont...
June 09, 2012
calling this an "instant cult classic" demonstrates you have no idea what that concept means. a 200 million dollar movie, opening on over 3000 movie screens and heavily advertised is not a "cult classic" - it's a hollywood jugernaut. an honest review of this movie would be a good summer film with a tepid screenplay - all in all a 7 out of 10.
June 09, 2012
don't believe anything you hear from know-nothing critics because this movie is better than most "alien" movies including "alien vs. predator" which i happened to love.
June 09, 2012
very good. plays like the first 2 hours of big 8 hour movie. hard to believe there wont be a part 2. i didnt see any plot holes either.
June 09, 2012
just watched prometheus. very well produced and written. yes, there were some plot and continuity issues. but the positives far outweigh the negatives. the core characters, aside from the big names, were performed well. prometheus is formulaic bringing all the cliched elements from alien/aliens into now. but r. scott's execution made it worthwhile.
