favorite scene: I liked the Do-It-Yourself Cesarean scene.
audience reaction: The audience gave it an "average" reaction.
recommendation: It was "so-so" for me. You might want to wait for this to come out as a rental.
spoiler alert! The closest planet that is similar to ours is still many light-years away! A planet that cannot be reached by an earth spacecraft traveling for just a few years. The planet, LV233, is practically a barren one. Therefore, its atmospheric Carbon Dioxide concentration should be substantially higher! If you venture into some unknown territory, it is always a good idea to carry some protection with you--and I'm not talking about condoms! ( Although, that might come in handy, too. ) How did those creatures survive entombed for two thousand years without any food supply? Those rock particles flying through the air during the storm should have shredded their suits and cracked their helmets! After two thousand years, that severed head should have been in a very desiccated state! Therefore, the severed head's reanimation would have been pure nonsense! The lid on the jar came loose before David ( Michael Fassbender ) was able to unseal it. If the "Creator Race" has the same DNA that we Humans do, then 98% of their DNA matches the DNA of Gorillas--therefore, the Gorillas created them--ha, ha, ha. But, wait! based on their super-white skin ( not implying Racism, mind you ), they cannot be related to the Gorillas at all but to the white-furred, secretive and elusive Yeti, the Abominable Snowman, instead! There! I, Cine-Man, just solved the genetic puzzle .... Gosh, I'm so "Nobel Prize-worthy" smart. "I can't create life"--shouldn't that be, "I can't procreate." ( And she calls herself a scientist---Hah! ) Those helmets seem made out of glass, based on how they shattered. And the only acid that I know of that can melt glass is Hydrofluoric Acid. But Hydrofluoric Acid is highly corrosive and highly toxic to skin tissue. So, how did those "snake-like" creatures produce and store such an acid? If something resembles a Cobra, why would you stick your hand out to it? Why didn't this scientific research team exhibit caution and practice common-sense reasoning? Why didn't Meredith ( Charlize Theron ) program David to be some kind of a sex machine if she was that horny and into casual sex at the slightest suggestion? More than 80 years into the future and they still use the same kind of wheelchairs that are in use now? Recently, some scientists in Turkey invented a wheeled mobility device that allows a person to travel around in a standing, not sitting, position. Why didn't they use a similar kind of wheeled mobility device instead of an out-dated wheelchair? That creator being ran his hand through David's lush head of hair and probably said to himself, "Why did they put hair on this android when I don't even have any hair left on me at all since I suffer from Alopecia Universalis. Ooh, I'm so envious of this android that I'm just gonna have to rip its head off!" Why were there no topless female creator beings in this movie? Yup, I'd get down on my knees and worship such a topless female creator being--I'd probably have her put on a wig first, though! "Sometimes, to create, one must first destroy"--but didn't they already do that when they created us? Does it make any sense to run along the path of a giant craft that is rolling towards you? The two minutes' worth of Oxygen left in her tank would have been used-up fast because she was breathing hard! If a big and long phallic thingy were to get shoved down my throat, I'd probably gag and puke--at least gag, anyway! But, no ..., not the "DEEP THROAT" victims in this movie who were probably either sword swallowers by profession or are of a certain "sexual inclination" ( "If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with. Love the one you're with." L.O.L. ).
Let's see if I got this right, during Prehistoric Times, the giant creator beings came to Earth to create us and to show us where in the sky they came from. Then, they extended us this invitation: "Hey, guys, if you ever achieve interstellar flight someday, why don't you swing by just to say, 'Hi!' so we can totally annihilate you." It doesn't make sense, doesn't make any sense at all ....
fyi: Once upon a time, during the early years of Commercial Aviation, somebody decided to make a passenger airplane with square windows. The plane crashed shortly after take-off because the square windows couldn't handle the stresses of flight and simply blew away. Airplanes have had windows with rounded corners ever since.
Now, pay close attention to the nose design of the Prometheus, an interstellar spacecraft, with all of its windows having sharp angles! Who was the Physics "F" Student idiot who designed this spacecraft?!?!?!
Well, the Bible does say that whoever sees the Holy Face of God will be struck dead! And a bunch of them did get struck down dead. Ha, ha, ha.
This movie is set on the planet LV233 while the ALIEN movie is set on the planet LV426, according to some ALIEN fans on the Internet. And there are supposed to be 2 more prequels before the story line ties into that of ALIEN's.
word of advice: Expect the unexpected.
tidbits: Why do stupid, inconsiderate, disrespectful and irresponsible idiots take their dogs into a grocery store, claiming that they are "comfort pets" even though their dogs don't have a vest on that says so? And even with the "Pooper Scooper" Law in place, if their damn dogs would urinate and/or defecate inside the store where food is sold, they wouldn't even bother to clean-up after their f-cking spoiled, untrained dogs!!! Whoever was the lowlife lawyer who came up with this "comfort pet" loophole needs to have his/her neck put through a noose's loophole and have said person hanged high!
I needed to see this movie just to unwind after a particularly stressful day at work. But I went home first for a quick dinner and to finish my blog on MADAGASCAR 3: EUROPE'S MOST WANTED before I headed for the theatre.
