Prometheus

Prometheus starts off with some CGI.
CGI sucks.

Then we're introduced to the archetypical crew of Alien-mythos characters: We've got a simulant who bleeds white "blood", we've got a bad ass black dude, we've got a crazy white dude with a predilection for foul language, we've got some nerdy scientists, we've got a the woman-on-a-mission who won't take shit from anyone, we've got a token non-white guy, and then some other people who are just good for death scenes. We wont miss them because we never got to know them. Sound familiar so far?

Then we meet a couple new characters introduced for this flick. The Weylands. You'll find out about them if you watch the movie. Thing is, I don't suggest you watch the movie.

The trailer looks way cooler than the flick really is. The trailer is more ominous. Big massive fuck-off score that gives you the chills. The flick looks immense. But it's not.

Visually it's alright. Sonically it's mediocre. Acting is crap to good, depending on who it is. It's just not as intense as it could have been. Honestly, I think it could have been an hour longer and that would have helped it. Yup, a three hour version might have saved it.

The thing is, the film isn't bad. It's just not that great. You could watch many worse movies, but you could watch a zillion better ones, too. So why bother with Prometheus? Fuck CGI.

Meh.
