"What happens after death? Who created mankind and how and why and...", such are the questions for which certain humans in the late 21st century try to find the answer to by travelling to alien land (or say planet) far far away. I went in to watch this movie only because of the fact that the movie was about these questions but everyone knows that these questions can never be answered or atleast no one has found the answers yet.
So is Prometheus really worth it? Will it in anyway aide you to think rationally? Well these questions are answerable and that is why this blog is for...Should you or should you not? I think you can take a pass at Prometheus.
It is a decent attempt but there is nothing so significantly insightful about mankind that you gather from this flick. Not that it is supposed to be intuitive but Prometheus is definitely a miss.
Quite true that no one believes in aliens and their existence and that is not my reason for not liking the movie. Fantasy is something which is even more difficult to create, agreed and Ridley Scott scores well in doing that. The fact remains that he has nothing new to offer. It is just a story told in a different perspective.
Set in few decades from now, people (humans) still use the same kind of torch lights, space ships are designed in a way that they conserve energy. Technology seems to have widened itself through galaxies. Something noteworthy and appreciable.
Technically, the movie is amazing. Brilliant effects on 3-D and a crawling background music to support the EQ-challenged movie. Prometheus is a visually stunning movie technically.
The actors play their parts well and Michael Fassbender and Guy Pearce stand out as the saviours of the sinking ship. (Expected more from Charlize Theron but no value for money.. :( )
Take a call on spending money for your ticket stub. I would suggest - Save it for your future!
Rating: 2.5/5
Prometheus: Not promising enough!
