Left with more questions than I started with! Was this 1/2 a movie or 5 different ones sliced together?
What's with alien dude drinking black dna breaking liquid? How does bad actress give herself a caesarean and then run around? What's with references to faith and souls and never following up on it? Why did android aryan dude give the black liquid to archeologist? Why do archeologists know to stimulate brain and fool it into thnking it's alive? Why does it explode? Why is the old guy SO OLD? OMG!
I need to watch Alien tonight to renew my faith in the sci fi genre.
Pros cgi work was awesome
Cons bad acting, more holes than story
No, I do not recommend this movie.

This is a great prequel and worth going to see. I loved much of it and especially the concept and filming. The film stretched my ability to believe it in several scenes that just made no sense. Some of the dialogue was inadequate and cute. l. I am glad I went to see it and recommend it despite those shortcomings
Pros great actors
Cons not real
Yes, I recommend this movie.

i love the alien franchise and was very excited to go see this movie. the art and special effects were amazing, but the script could have been a little tighter. acting was mediocre at best, with with david being the only character you ever really get interested in. it is a good movie that could have been a great movie with just a few tweaks.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I liked it, for what it was, a prequel but not in the same class as "Alien" or "Blade Runner", "Apocalypse Now" (story, emotional/mental impact). Perhaps I expecting too much, hoping too much from this Ridley Scott production. He has done so many great films but this is definitely a prequel and as such, script confined to telling a prequel story. Prequel, prequel, prequel. Why do I keep saying that?
Pros well paced, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I have been waiting for months to see this movie and bought the ticket in advance with really good seats. Excitement running through my body as I approach my seats. The movie starts very slow and I am not sure why the acting was so bad except for Noomi, I think she was the only one who was decent. The set and costumes were amazing but it just felt like they tried to hard. The previews make the movie look like its beyond amazing but if you're a true scene fiction movie lover and also the Alien movies I promise you will hate it. My boyfriend even fell asleep. Ah Prometheus how you disappointed me.
Cons slow
No, I do not recommend this movie.

This is a sci-fi movie about the creator and his creation. Of course, it theorizes that the creators were alien being and human take a journey to confront them. As you might imagine, that's going to be problematic. I suppose what bothered me the most about this film was that it's a mish-mash of previous sci-fi classics, most notably 2001 and the Alien franchise. In fact, there are some cheap parody moments that work pretty well, but just as comedy and nothing else. See this movie if you're in need of a sci-fi flick.
Pros well paced, great actors
Cons too complex
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I could not recommend this film more. Ridley Scott has lifted himself above even the great James Cameron in his visual stylings and mythology.
The opening sequence is so dazzling that people actually gasped. After the film, I was left with lingering questions but they are the kind that make you feel smarter for just knowing to ask them.
Can't wait to own this movie!
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, rapace is hot~
Yes, I recommend this movie.

A unique and masterful Ridley Scott SciFi epic that successfully ties the knot to the timeline of the Alien series, while branching the story and shifting to a new timeline that will offer the producers many more episodes completely seperate from the Alien series, should they wish to make them.
Story telling at its best! The acting and dialogue is fresh, The action is gripping. and quickly paced.
It was well received by the audience which made their approval apparent by a very loud round of applause at the end of the movie. Something you don't see very often at the movies anymore.
Pros great story
Yes, I recommend this movie.
