Loony's Review

I have watched soooo many movies lately that if I were to write about all of them, that's all this blog would be about. This movie however deserves a mention.

Prometheus (serious spoiler alert)

The Plot: Ok so, scientists fly into space to find our makers at a distant planet. And they do, big white dudes!! They seem to be all dead though, but there are lots of other things to play with. Germs, worms, general fun things that might kill you. Nothing to worry about. Unless, you have an evil robot, a delusional old man and an incredibly stupid crew on board. Then there's some stuff to worry about. Like being impregnated with a squid, evil worms taking over your body, oh and that's right, the big white dudes want to destroy mankind. Apparently they weren't happy with how we came out, or something. Which has to be stopped, of course. All while surviving. So there's that.

Right, lets brake it down! Actors!
First of all, Noomi, Noomi, Noomi, I love you but please do something about that horrible accent! Or have the character come from Norway or something! Anything, but pretending to be Brittish is not working!
Michael Fassbender. Fanstastic as always.
Charlize Theron, of course also great, but I wish her character had had as much balls as you think she does when you first meet her. I guess I have to see Snowhithe and the Huntsman for that.
Guy Pierce, why in gods name did they need him to get all maked up as an old man? Why not just get an old man?!?!
Idris Elba I have waited for, wondering where he would turn up! Unfortunately this part doesn't leave much of an impression, but def does it's job.
I do like Logan Marshall-Green, I just wish he could have lived just a little bit longer.

Bad stuff:
Taking helmets off in a breathable environment not worrying about germs and bugs? Really??
Cute guy dies to early.
When all of a sudden a crew member turns in to Sloth from the Goonies.
Squiddy alien thingies. Where's the beautiful Spacejockey??
Guy Pierce posing as an old man instead of an actual old man! Stupid!

Good stuff.
Ok, here we go!!! Noomi is actually a good actor and as a buildup for a no 2, where she'd toughen up a bit, it's great!
I love the fact that we get right down to business, and that the back story doesn't take to long. And we still have the classical Alien shots.
The connection to the first Alien movie. It makes you want more :)
And of course, effects!! Except for the squids, as mentioned before.

Def worth seeing and even though I'm not in aw, I can't wait for no 2!
The second Alien movie is my all time favorite. No pressure.
