^I liked the film. I tend to think you are right that it will grow on me. I look forward to discovering where it will take us.
I'm someone who eats my meals one dish at a time. First my steak until it's gone, then my salad.... I notice people who take a bite of each dish in alternation and I think Why do they eat from tables when they have perfectly good tummies? I would have prefered a straight sequel or something entirely in another universe.
Scott has directed four of my very favorite films. IMO, ALIEN was the greatest true SciFi film, BLADERUNNER was great TechnoNoir, GLADIATOR was magnificent and KOH was sublime. PROM didn't make it into that league.
