    I am with Assimilated on this one. I went to see it in 3D with my grandson, he didn't really care for it either. I just dont think it had a great story line and would say it was "OK" but just did not live up to what I was expecting, of course that is my expectation. Especially for the 23.00 bucks, as a blu-ray in the home theater sure, I will give another try, maybe I just ate bad popcorn and bon-bons.

    Lookin like a sequel is in the works. '' The Hollywood Reporter says that Ridly Scott and the studio actively are pushing ahead with a follow up. ''

    Deb and I watched it last night.

    She was not going to watch it, thought it was just typical sci-fi gore and predictable scares.

    We both really enjoyed it, Ridley Scott hit it just right, much like 2001, but was original enough.

    I've watched it twice so far on blu ray and gotta say, for me, it's probably the best sci fi film of the last 10 years. Not since the original Matrix have I been so stoked to see a film again and delve right into the extras. Like most classic science fiction, it's very open ended and leaves a lot to interpretation. Hopefully they don't screw up the sequels like they did with The Matrix follow-ups.

    What a disappointment. Big Aliens fan here so I expected it to be at least as good as those movies. Only a few scenes made you connect it with the Aliens movies at all. Poorly developed. Had the potential to be so much better, but it just never got there.

    Disagree with you strongly Devlon, for me this could not have been a better prequel to aliens. My wife watched and never even knew it was anything to do with aliens till the very end lol. This movie gives you lots to think about and wonder

    As the story unfolded , I was totally in. The concept of finding out how we where made , born or started is fascinating. The question Is their life out there? Then finding out the 2 are one in the same is what I loved about this movie.
    Now the way they went about it , the way they handled getting such news was very poor IMO. Then the ending of the movie was totally stupid and ruined the entire movie for me.
    I'm gonna rent it and see if it's better then 2nd time around. I saw in the theater and left with very mixed feelings.

    +1. I thought it was super lame. Charlize, the Captain, just terrible roles for them both.

    I really wanted to like this movie. I really like the Alien story and was intrigued by the story they advertised for Prometheus, but I was disappointed. I watched it at the theaters, then again on BR. It wasn't the worst movie, but it definitely wasn't what it could have been. The thing that bothered me the most about this movie are the retarded people. I know there has to be at least one or two really stupid people in a movie otherwise, the movie never happens, but jeez, stupidity ruins movies for me.

    I won't ruin the movie for anyone that hasn't watched it, but just be ready for stupid people to do stupid things.
