I just got back from seeing it... it's well worth seeing in the theatres. I'm giving it an 8.5/10. Not nearly as good as Alien or Aliens, but I didn't go into it expecting either one of those movies. I think that's bee most people's problem with it, is that they're expecting another Alien instead of simply looking for a good movie. I haven't see Alien in probably a good 10 years now (so I'm actually about to rewatch it), so I couldn't remember all of the plot clearly, so that probably helped me out a lot. Plus, while Prometheus can be considered part of the Alien canon, it's more of a sister franchise of its own; at least that's how Scott has explained it. I thought David was an incredibly compelling character, almost more so than anyone else... though Vickers and Janek were very intriguing in their own respects. At the same time, I wish there was a little more character development, but I suppose there's only so much that you can do in a sci-fi/horror movie when you're trying to advance the plot and make everything tense at the same time. My issue with the c-section scene wasn't necessarily that she was up and running around afterwards, but more that the "sac" exploded and it got back inside the wound and there wasn't any decontamination of her afterwards. Though I suppose one of the shots she gave herself could have been a broad spectrum antibiotic of something. Her being up and mobile afterwards can be explained not only with the pain killers, but the pure adrenaline that was certainly coursing through her system in the aftermath of that trauma. Plus, she was obviously still dealing with the pain once her endorphin level started to taper off and the adrenaline wasn't a factor any longer. The biggest problem that I really had with it was Shaw not wearing gloves, and then wearing gloves, and then not wearing gloves again... seemingly at random, towards the end of the movie. Aside from that, I hated how it basically ended as, "hey guess what, we're not answering anything... you're gonna have to wait for the presumptive sequel". I was also about to complain about the tentacled thing and just WTF it was... and then the last scene happened and that was made very clear. The cinematography and atmosphere were both top notch, but I'd expect nothing less from Scott by now... the effects were also very well done. I saw it in 3D, mostly because I have some free movie passes, and 3D showings are usually empty in comparison to standard ones. But the 3D was very well done... I read some comments that the 3D was kinda pointless because there weren't any really great 3D shots; but I honestly prefer it that way. While giant purposeful 3D shots can be cool (in moderation), I just like the added depth that 3D gives you in comparison to standard film (well digital film now), and I felt like that was very well done. Oh, and MA... I'll disagree with your wife about something. Avatar wasn't Dancing with Wolves in space, it was Pocahontas in space.
