This movie can be summed up with the premise, "smart people doing stupid things." Stir in some scary bits, a little CG, and a backstory and you have Prometheus. Was it good? Ya, mostly. Was it bad? Ya, a little (see premise). When comparing to Alien, it misses the mark, but as a stand alone reboot of the storyline it'll do. There's no tension, no gritty dialogue, no uncomfortable darkness with the hollow sounds of dripping moisture. The feel is brighter, more focused and less suspenseful. It's not a slow build, more of a short fuse. As for the casting, sorry, Noomi Rapace just doesn't do it for me, the rest are there but every time Charlize walked on by they just kind of disappeared. And there are still unanswered questions. Who could predict that?
