Urgent note to Ridley, old people should be portrayed by old actors not middle aged actors in really bad halloween masks.

Couldn't agree more.

Is Prometheus worth all the hype? No, not at all. Is it worth watching? I would say yes.

Calling this film an Alien prequel does it something of a disservice in my opinion. It works better if you forget about the Alien films and take it in as a stand alone story that just so happens to be set within the same "universe".

It wasn't what I expected but it was an enjoyable enough sci-fi/monster flick. All the actors put in great performances and the visuals are breath taking. The opening sequence is a visual treat.
