-----------------------------------------------------------------This is spoiler free....but I'm damn upset!!!
I'm glad people on this board seemed to think it was amazing. I'm truly glad for your experience. As for "not getting it"...ohh..I think I did...but my opinion is:
I'm gratified at how my Wrinkly Weyland thread a few weeks back stood up...but that is because I'm grasping at straws for things to be happy about now I've seen it....
So many opportunities missed for drama / terror / suspense...all washed away with a quick and awkward story....Even the sets (other than the Prometheus) were missed opportunities...
The score sounded great on the album but totally mismatched to the film. Very cheesy.
The only saving graces were the performance that was David8 and the visual effects and design that were the ship Prometheus. 3D was good....but only good. Not WOW good.
I can't say too much but it was cheesy...the ending was awfully cheesy and then when I was taking the glasses off to leave, the ending got jaw dropingly lame.....I can't remember feeling this let down!!!
Have tickets to see it again tomorrow with my Son.....not looking forward to it but got to keep a straight face so it's all a surprise to him.
Can't believe this was sooo unlike an RS film with the exception of attention to detail with the ship.
Very disappointed...going to have a beer now.
