Movie Review: Prometheus

Don't blame Ridley, blame Lindelof (Lost) & Spaihts (The Darkest Hour) for any misgivings you may have about this movie. These two aliens to Sci-Fi clearly take the word 'fiction' too literally and skip so much logic that this film becomes utterly unconvincing.

I actually enjoyed the direction and visual effects in this movie, but as you know, these two alone do not make a great movie.

Its the Star Wars prequel disaster all over again.

At least we have a new contender for the best acted android!

1. Michael Fassbender - Prometheus (2012)
2. Lance Henriksen - Aliens (1986)
3. Jude Law - Artificial Intelligence (2001)
4. Rutger Hauer - Blade Runner (1982)

Only 1/2 star from me, although I had high expectations.
