Prometheus

Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender    d/ Ridley Scott

Not bad but not quite good enough either. A bit of a disappointment really.

The film has extremely imaginative visuals, great set design, some good thematic material...especially one scene where human forebears create virtual planets as an aesthetic exercise. But there are too many hackneyed scenes involving characters who are not sufficiently developed to make us care about their fate. Serious script flaws pull the film down. One very-difficult-to-watch scene. Charlize Theron's character didn't work at all.

By the end all but one character was dead and I didn't really give a shit. Not a good sign.
