I thought it was brilliant. An absolute masterpiece, in fact. Seen it 3 times already, and I\'m not done yet, either. This is also coming from someone whose favorite film of all time is, in fact, Alien.
It\'s definitely a polarizing piece of work though. You will either "get it" and love it for what it is, or you\'ll outright hate it. There appears to be no in-between.
To each their own, though. If it didn\'t work for you, fair enough. Everyone\'s mileage on this film will vary, as the amount of dissenting opinions out there will certainly attest. I think a lot of people are refusing to accept this film for what it is though, instead vocalizing extreme disappointment over it because of what they wanted it to be. Reminds me of back when Alien 3 came out lol. Prometheus may appreciate more with some naysayers in the years to come. Time will tell, I suppose.
I thought the beginning was masterfully done. How many films anymore can say so much in a scene without a single line of dialog spoken? It\'s breathtaking stuff, IMO. And that\'s not entirely CGI. It\'s actually a dude in full body make-up, for the most part. Check it out: [url=\"http://www.prometheusforum.net/discussion/2118\"]http://www.prometheu...discussion/2118[/url]
