An imperfect blockbuster but hardly an unsatisfying one

Notwithstanding a strong cast, the spaceship Prometheus is the ultimate star of Prometheus. Large, sturdy and full of interesting sci-fi doodads, it’s a worthy entrant to the cinematic hanger that includes the starship Enterprise and the Nostromo from Scott’s sci-fi masterpiece Alien. Even when Prometheus tangles with a monstrous alien ship, it doesn’t let down its crew – or the audience. Ridley Scott is a master of spectacle. Using massive H.R. Giger alien images and loads of nifty sci-fi machinery, he makes certain that our visual cortexes are well stimulated by Prometheus. If only the story were less loopy, he could have had another masterpiece on his hands. [url=http://www.viewguide.com/movie_reviews/3536-prometheus]Full review at ViewGuide[/url].
