Prometheus 2012 ★★½

Reviewed Jul 05, 2012

I was underwhelmed. I didn't hype myself up for it, so my expectations were actually manageable, and yet walking out I didn't feel like I hated it or loved it, just apathetic. It was filmed well, it looked cool, I just wasn't hooked in by its premise. The cast didn't do much for me, and there were some great actors in that group. The "jump out of your seat" moments were dated and cliched. In fact most of the film seemed like a gimmick meant to distract you from how simple the plot was.

I don't want to sound like I am bashing it, I just don't think it was what I expected, or maybe that I expected nothing and I received that. Honestly, I enjoyed the previews more than the film, because they veiled the plot, and the film gives it away in the first act and the twist isn't good enough for me to want to follow intently through acts two and three.
