Just a few things about Prometheus I would like to share.Went to the 10:50 AM showing in MD today and it was packed! i was surprised to see so many at the earliest showing on a Sat. morning.The IMAX 3 D is a must! Overall I was satisfied with the movie . I don't understand how anyone can say it was terrible. I think to some it was a disservice reading all the spoilers and plot points thinking they were getting something they envisioned from the plot and how it actually transpired on the screen. A few things I noticed some of the detractors say were plot holes and bad dialogue. 1.Vickers saying "father" when we all already knew this was corny. Obviously there was a lot of tension between the two and I believe the "father" line was sarcasm. 2. When the Captain asks "Is that you" to Fifield and the Mowhawk guy that were lost. i think this was just good writing. Yes he could see the holographic map with their indicators ,he just had a hard time believing there was another life form in there and was kind of thinking aloud. Happens everyday, people in a conversation ask a question they already know the answer to. 3. The spaceship landing on Vickers was kind of weak, I believe if the ship broke apart more in mid-air and a piece fell on her would have been more plausible. 4. The guy engaging the Hammerpede was befuddling ,it looked very aggressive and snake like, I doubt anybody would approach it the way he did . 4. The questions about the engineer attacking them I believe was intentionally left open for interpretation ,makes you ask questions. I didn't here anybody complaining about the "jockey" in Alien.It added to the mystery IMO just like some of the "plot holes " in prometheus. 5. P.S And the whole Med pod thing. People ask why when Elizabeth goes into the room with David , Weyland and his nurses everyone is indifferent. I thinks it's on purpose and falls right in line with the "Corporation's" line of thinking everyone is expendable. They already knew of the pregnancy and didn't care about Shaw and I assume they knew what she did in the medpod and the "baby" was still alive. Sure it could have been fleshed out better but I think thats what they were trying to convey in that scene. IMo a 8.5 out of 10. Visually stunning and yes a little rushed but still a very good movie .

Yeah people are hating on it cause its not Alien, well its NOT. You can't compare any movie to one of the cornerstones in the genre, it's always gonna fall short.
