Check out this early draft script for Prometheus called Alien Engineers. I would, but I want to see the movie first. http://t.co/ZNDr1PHE

Who cares what movie critics think about Prometheus? We want to know what the heavy metal musicians say. http://t.co/RtbVZMyb

Here’s a must-read conversation about the Alien franchise and Prometheus with spoilers galore. http://t.co/wCNRfEva

The reviews for Prometheus are still all over the place. One thing can be said for sure is that it is nothing close to the smash it some thought it would be. I was floored by the first trailer and very much wanted to see it. But then the negative reviews started pouring in. The problem is that many of those reviews criticize the movie for not being aligned with the Alien franchise, which is what Ridley Scott said almost from the start. So is it really a bad movie or is not the Alien movie the fans wanted?

Saw the teaser trailer for Prometheus yesterday and now here’s a longer version. It’s amped my expectations big-time. http://t.co/YHxFYUVZ

I haven’t seen it yet, but hope to see it soon.
In my experience, when reviews are divided over a science fiction fan, it means that the average moviegoer doesn’t like it because it’s got too much actual science fiction in it and isn’t just a special-effect extravaganza.
The people who do like it tend to be science fiction fans who appreciate a good story.
I am hoping that is the case with this film.

This article expresses pretty much the same thought I have about why great sci-fi movies get mixed reviews: http://journalstar.com/entertainment/movies/l-kent-wolgamott-prometheus-gets-mixed-reactions-because-it-s/article_c6a6716a-9bb0-5004-9b7f-86171820284d.html
