Prometheus... for un-subtle or for worse
Monday, June 11th, 2012 07:39 amI'm not sure exactly where to start with this movie. On one hand: it was worth seeing on the big screen. On the other: What the hell was that?!
( Spoilers, and general discussion along the lines of SUBTLENESS: LOOK INTO IT. )
In sum: Uhm... I can't summarize this into "yay" or "meh". Those with body horror triggers/squicks may want to avert their eyes at least three times. Those with birth horror triggers should probably steer clear of the whole thing. I'm not sorry we saw it, but it's nowhere near the awesome that the first Alien movie was. The design aspects of the ship itself, though, were beautiful, and the spectacle of the whole movie is undeniably amazing. It's uneven at best.
