regarding the incoming / pending film reviews of PROMETHEUS to read a great review of this this film is always cool, at the same time, what someone deems as "good" or "bad" depends on who is experiencing it individual tastes are too varied / random to take seriously, at least that is what i have found in most cases anyway film, much like music / art / food is all too subjective. you need only read what was written about ALIEN since it was released, to see that you may disagree with the many negative critiques of it i am well aware that if a collective opinion of a certain thing is either good or bad, it usually is so, but i do try and keep an open mind and eye until i've experienced it for myself the attention span of most folks these days much, much shorter than it was back in the late great 1970s or even 1980s / 1990s for that matter i feel that Ridley may have made this great looking new film for those of us who are in our middle-ages, so i do not expect a large amount of positive reviews of PROMETHEUS as a whole from the younger set (i hope i am dead wrong) then again, i wouldn't mind knowing that this film can hold the attention span of not only folks who are my age, but those folks who are in the "I" generation time will tell...

Yeap, indeed the criticism is very subjective... Well i am relatively young (fine, not much lol) but while I enjoyed classics such as Forbidden Planet, Planet of the Vampires, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Brazil, Blade Runner, Planet of the Apes, etc. At the same time I have enjoyed the epic fantastic Lord of the Rings style ,but it is not my thing...the mine is the science fiction...and I love it : )

The fact that we are hearing some bad reviews means, to me, that Ridley made this movie for US....The Fans of Alien....and not those "others". ; )

Iapetus saw the movie in France today and has graciously volunteered to write 2 versions of the plot for us to enjoy (one spoilerish and one non). You can check that out for better answers. :)

I 've seen AVP once (shame on me) and I still don't see what's similar in Prometheus. Then again, I don't remember AVP very much.

I've always liked to stay to my own opinion of movies, for example I love Lynch's Dune, and that got ripped to pieces.

It's what I have heard from the reviews that have come out so far. David lindelof's style of writing is very hip and in with the kids so to speak. Supposedly some elements of AVP in the storyline as well, which appeals to the younger generation.

Apparetly it's geared towards a younger audience, thanks to lindelof's style.
