I'm a big fan of ALIENS, but Alien 3, 4, whatever, all sucked. ALIEN was a classic in its time but if you watch it today you'll see that it too really sucks. Don't get me wrong - I love classic sci-fi like Forbidden Planet. It's brilliant and spooky and holds up today. ALIEN somehow, is a dud now, especially the stupid directors cut.
Prometheus is good and bad at the same time. It looks Fan-fucking-tastic. All kinds of money was spent on the look. It has several good scares and one really tense scene. Unfortunately though the movie is full of really stupid technical errors (The Astronauts take their helmets off! - Come on!!!) that really sunk the movie for me as a sci-fi fan.
It also sucks that if you saw the trailer, you know how the movie ends!
I liked the beginning of the movie. The alien standing by all that water. Something about the look of the scene, the color, the detail maybe, made me wonder where they shot it and made me want to visit that place.
Otherwise, meh.
