Prometheus Gets First User review from IMDB

well referring to his review I wonder why people expects that a film will explain everything about everything you think you see or question ourselves in it..... what a person thinks needs to be "explained" in a movie it might been explained already, but that person didn´t pick it up...Can be right?

We might get something slightly different when we see it for ourselves and I can't wait for those discussions. I remember I had to see The Matrix twice in the theater before I truley knew what was going on. :

Because yer not from Denmark. Denmark rules.

well... seems quite good, even if character-wise somewhat laking [as stated by the man].

@Brett There was a still released, that showed Vickers on the ground with her arms up, in a posture of apparently attempting to shield/protect herself. The camera is poised above her as if it's a POV shot, just before she gets squashed by something.....presumably, the rolling juggernaut.

How does a guy from Denmark, who gives a review of 8 out of 10 to the movie Surrogates, get to see prometheus before us? What a bummer.

Hoping this is not another Lindeloff / LOST mess, but the reviewer's comment that another sequel is needed to explain things does not bode well.

I'm not happy that another sequel is needed to explain things, but I am happy for 2 more hours of Sir Ridley Scotts awesome vision.

Right!

I am intrigued by what Ridley Scott meant when he said This movie is about who made us, who made them.. and he even said on some clip it's about what happens when we die and after. I think those are too many questions to answer in one movie!

what shortcomings? please don't answer if you feel inclined to include spoilers.....

Charlize mentioned in L'Ecran Fantastique something interesting about the third act where Vickers is lying on the ground outside.. then i remember seeing a picture where she was lying and the camera was directly over her. hmmm..

character development?

9 stars out of 10.

That is a very optimistic review and very spoiler-free in my opinion....The reviewer also backs up their opinions of praise as well as shortcomings. He gave it a 9/10.

@Brett Exactly, he says characters are not as strong as in the first two Alien movies, but he believes a future director's cut might solve that issue. However, he praises Fassbender and uses the term "classic". The review doesn't contain real spoilers.

Good review, and I'd call it nearly spoiler-free.

SPOILER-FREE???? sounds good to me

I have the impression the newer generations are going to have a blast with the movie. Probably that's what Scott/Lindeloff wanted. I am saying this because of the young guy's pre-screening review on youtube. He looks and sounds really mystified by the film, like he will be losing sleep over it.

well.. we were only interested in the bonus situation =)

Ok guys im officially really HAPPY :D Despite the fact i gotta wait 9 days for the Canadian release :S

As far as I was concerned my investment character-wise was solely extended to Shaw, Holloway, Vickers, Janek, Fifield...and David. I have a hard time investing is the rest of the cast from the knowledge gleaned thus far. Not sure, in a way, we're supposed to anyway. In Alien, Lambert was hardly a compelling character nor was Brett, and Parker was mildly so due to his last brave act. At least it seems whom they have made an effort for us to focus on...of those, Janek, Vickers and Holloway are the most typecast, David the most intriguing, Fifield compelling (to me), and of course Shaw is the center.

According to this guy I was talking about, there is one hell of a third act, like a roller coaster ride that comes to an abrupt end. Supposedly, none of the trailers we have seen prepares you for that third act.

90's born people are going to love this movie, provided that they have patience for it after micheal bay and other fast pace sci-fi flicks.

I have a feeling that there are going to be questions that go answered. At the same time I think that after seeing Prometheus we as fans are going to pick up clues from the movie Alien itself. It is of my opinion that the Xenomorph in Alien is going to look familiar to us. I wish that I could describe to you exactly what I want to say. I hope you guys understand me.

I trust Ridley, but Im not so sure about this reviewer. I looked at some of his past reviews and he gave Iron Man 2, Tron: L, Surrogates, and even the last Underworld movie between 8 and 10 stars. And he gave Moon a 5.

loved Moon. a bit to the 2001 side... but quite good

the best thing about this review is the user doesnt appear to be some die hard super Alien fan, yet he still labels it a classic. i think those of us who grew up with Alien and Aliens and have seen both movies hundreds of time as i have are going to think this movie is the greatest thing ever

Now I bet this has been discussed over and over on other threads, but how come the Space Jockey in the first Alien was like petrified, and also the chamber containing the eggs and the eggs themselves seemed to be very old... if the Xenomorph didn't exist by the time the events from Prometheus take place and evolved from the other creatures featured on the new film, that would be a big problem.

The space jockey was petrified. Dallas the captain says it himself in Alien. I think that Ridley has stated that the space jockey is very old. I dont know how old, but old.

Yeah David 1, Moon is really solid. Its not about plot, its not about production values, it's about character. And Sam Rockwell killed it.

Well i can tell you one thing THAT MOVIE WAS THRILLING but we still don't know what happened to the space jockeys. Guess we'll have to wait for the sequel. THANKS RIDLEY...

......3 user reviews so far....all positive....I call that very promising!
