Movie Review of Prometheus (2012)
Finally I have watched the movies. And this is partially 'cause of your article, Jo!
I wanted to see if the movie can THAT BAD having in mind all those reviews I have read across the NET.
It is good do go and watch movies without prejudice. I didn't see it in theater because the tickets were all sold out that night when I went, and since then I have read dozens of reviews saying only bad things about it. So, I gave it up.
I said, after reading your side of story: "Well if it was good enough for Jo to spend time writing her own review, then there must be something in it". :)
I wasn't totally disappointed with it. I assumed it would be far worse. And I am sorry for missing it in 3D.
There are lots of ridiculous scenes in the movie (trying to play with snake-like alien creature which is hissing on you and thinking that THAT CREATURE is harmless and cute). Oh, c'mon!
What plays with my mind, is the first scene. Were they really there to leave genetic material in order to create life? Well, if so, that was one really strange way of doing it. They could simply spill 1L of blood in that river and not kill one of their own. There is more logic in the possibility he was punished, criminal, or something else they wanted to get rid of. That substance they gave to him was ACTUALLY destroying even his DNA. I think it wasn't meant we happen from that visit. Maybe that is why they were coming back to destroy us.
I don't know. There are lots of strange moments in that movie, and I could continue with this "my side of story" until I write an article-worth-length of this comment. Instead I should have written the actual Wizz. :)
I am sorry for leaving you this a mile long comment to read, but ideas were popping out, and the movies really was puzzling, which made me thinking about it more in depth.
Good to be back to your articles and Wizzley!
Hugs!
