Prometheus: the gripes.

So I have already posted a review saying how much I like Prometheus but as nothing is perfect there are a few things that I think weren't all that good. Some of the macho language like at the end ('HANDS UPPPPPPPP') was a bit out of place I think. We din't really care for the characters when they used clumsy language like this. The pacing of the movie was a bit off too probably as a result of the half hour or so cut footage rather than it being a filmmaking error. The whole David-watching-Shaw's-dreams was a bit clunky. He could have found out how her parents died by simply taking a cursory look at the crew's personnel files during his time awake while the rest slept. In my heart of hearts I would have preferred a direct prequel to Alien, I could get hit by a bus tomorrow after all. But overall I still think its an excellent movie.
