Not the same as the Christy Lemire review: http://www.salon.com/2012/06/06/prometheus_ridley_scotts_dazzling_dumb_ass_theology/ excerpt: "OK! Clearly the only reasonable explanation of the mysterious pattern discovered by Shaw and Holloway is that giant geezers from space planted the seeds of humanity on Earth eons ago, and then came back bazillions of years later just to convince preliterate civilizations to leave behind invitations for us to come visit when we were all grown up. Then they left again, barely an eyelash ago in planetary time, maybe just to pick up some smokes or collect the many-tentacled kids from day care. Look, I realize that Lindelof and Spaihts got paid a lot of money to develop the “mythology” of this universe, and they’re probably convinced they’ve gotten all its clues and feints and subterfuges worked out. But there’s about 17 kinds of nonsense just in the setup for “Prometheus,” before we even get to the main action. (Who brings archaeologists, of all useless professions, on a space mission?) You’re way better off just letting the mood and mystery and menace of the movie surround you, and not trying to puzzle it out."

Yes, Prometheus gives a hard job to the fans, who simply can not stop to speculate what could this mean.. what could that mean. Thats Science-Fiction - but the balance is not right in prometheus, as you have WAY TO MUCH TO THINK as heavy stuff is not explained at all by any means, and all the way you may mostly come to WRONG conclusions, and if you finally watch (and pay for..) the sequels you will know what REALLY goes on - PERHAPS, if LINDELOF lets you know! Thats the clue! WHAT GOES ON IN LINDELOFs HEAD to MAKE YOU ADDICTED TO HIS SICK PSEUDO-MYSTERY STOrYWRITING THAT WILL NEVER SATISFY YOU, JUST LIKE A DEALER and HIS PRODUCT WILL NEVER SATISFY, NO MATTER HOw HARD YOU TRY.. As - thats the strategy of LOST/LindeLof.. Try to understand LOST, and you will be LOST...
