Movie Review: Prometheus..an expedition best left unexplored
Prometheus, for the uninitiated, is the Greek legend of a titan who practically created Man and then stole Fire from the Gods to make him an equal. He was caught and punished, since when Prometheus has stood for the quest of knowledge and finding answers. Somewhere in the movie, there is a remark of bringing back Prometheus. In my opinion, Prometheus is an expedition that should have been abandoned in the first place
As you emerge from the IMAX theatre (that’s the only way it can be worth your while, believe me) there is but one question that you want answers to – what was the point of what you just saw!!
Prometheus starts with promise. The visuals are breath-taking and exquisitely detailed. The first half of the movie almost moves like you are part of a documentary on a scientific space expedition yet with a sense of foreboding that keeps you consistently engaged. You are waiting for things to fall apart and for confusion and pandemonium to reign. Well, things do fall apart but not in the manner you’d have liked to imagine
To put it simply, there is very little action in Prometheus. All that build-up virtually amounts to nothing at the end of it all and while you see all the indications of a sequel in the works, disappointment looms large on what this first instalment manages in the end.
The 3D of the movie is a bit of a mixed bag. There is much talk of comparing this movie to the likes of Avatar in the 3D department though personally, I think it doesn’t even come close. In fact, most of the movie seems to have been shot in 2D, with some specific scenes having a visual third dimension, which to be fair are pretty well done
As far as the performances go, you’ll probably not even recognize Noomi Rapace (the original Girl in the Dragon Tattoo) in this new avatar though she does a pretty convincing job. However, the real scene stealer is Micheal Fassbender with his perfect portrayal of an android
However, I still don’t believe that is reason enough for you to waste your money on this show. Prometheus, on the whole disappoints and unless the scientific expedition and breath-taking visuals are a draw enough for you, I’d suggest you’d best not book a berth on this expedition
