A Disappointing Search (movie comment)

Like many others, I like science fiction movies. Good ones, though, are few and far between. So we eagerly look forward to those films we anticipate will be excellent.

When Prometheus (2012) was released on DVD, I rushed out and grabbed a copy. I'd been looking forward to seeing it for some time. After all, Ridley Scott was the director and producer. It would have to great, right? Or at least good? Alas, no.

This movie was a big disappointment to me. What went wrong? The movie had plenty of talent—excellent actors and actresses. Great photography. Great special effects also. What the movie lacked, however, was a good script!

The writing was awful. How can one be drawn into a movie if the behavior of the characters is totally unbelievable? It stops you from letting your imagination soar.

Plot

The film is about the search for man's creator, which turns into a prequel for the original Alien movie.

Do I recommend this movie? No! Save your money. I give it 1 star out of 5.
