MemberOvomorphJun-02-2012 2:03 AMYep, that's the film I saw, this is the line in the sand for me
"In its final act, the plotlines of Prometheus detonate pockets of bedlam, but even the zanier story tracks link back to classical cause-and-effect structure in ways that don’t treat viewers like 12-year-olds."
Every classic scifi film is full of unanswered questions and mystery. It's the ones that attempt to explain things to the nth degree that date very quickly, and suck from over-exposition.
Thanks for sharing this Scottie

MemberOvomorphJun-05-2012 2:45 AMMy pleasure. This is the sort of mature review I don't mind reading. The ones I hate are the reviews where the critic is obviously not into the sci-fi- fantasy genre at all, the ones that try to be far too intellectual, or the ones that use smartarse lingo. I will be going to see the movie early next week. I've not been in any hurry to get in. I prefer a less cluttered cinema. heheheh.
