Ridley Scott never fails to disappoint (most of the time) and his 2012 movie Prometheus shows cases that. From the beginning I'm captivated by the landscape. Every movie has yourself questioning where are we? Who are the main characters really? And the nature of the events. But more so than most movies Prometheus makes that feeling. The casting is pretty good, the highlight of course is Micheal fassbender as David. Everything down from the way he walks to his unblinking souless eyes portray an android perfectly. I guess you could say the same about Meredith, which is later used for a "getting laid" joke. Some minor issues are that 1. Most of the characters in this film are complete idiots and 2. The movie seems to have a pacing issue? Like there is a important plot point in the film that is explained by a character that should know nothing about that, and it feels like it could have been explained better by the alien himself. Also that's another issue, the aliens feel like brutes instead of sophisticated lifeforms. Like they should have made them at least talk a bit to explain their reasoning for their actions. However where the move highlights is in it's philosophical questions and of course, visuals (always count on Ridley Scott to create one hell of a stunning and atmospheric image) I like how the movie displays the questions of where do we come from, who made us, and what happens when we die. Making the main character Christian is also a nice counter to this. However in the end the movie feels a little unsatisfying, as it doesn't answer the main question posed at the end. Overall great movie with fantastic visuals, good depth, a few oversights, and an unsatisfying ending.
