It should have been titled "Poopmetheus." We saw it in 3D on the big screen and I booed at the end and yelled RIPOFF.

I'm a huge Ripley Scott fan. Could NOT believe he signed onto this one. Not worth the $ we paid to see it, IMO.

I hope he leaves Blade Runner alone.

I finally went to see this yesterday. It doesn't hold a candle to Alien but it was good enough that I'll probably add it to my movie collection when it comes out on Blu-Ray. :D

I'm waiting for the DVD.

My enthusiasm died down after seeing some snippets and reading some reviews.

Staci wont go see it with me... :(
Ive tried to get out of work early to go see it by my bad ass self, but something always happens and i never get to it

This will probably go to the back of the memory bucket along with Ted and other films that looked bad ass but the wife has no interest in going to see them with me :(

I'm not stoked yet but I will be at the beginning of August which is when its being released in the UK. I'm a huge sci-fi fan (have you seen Stephen Spielberg's Taken? If not, then go for it!). I was supposed to see Prometheus at the flicks but was ill on the day and, by the time another date could be sorted, it had been and gone, so I'm disappointed I won't be seeing it on the big screen, but a TV's better than nothing, right?

It's essentially a brilliant sci-fi movie... for the first half hour. I felt like there was so much mystery and intrigue, a perfectly built world, everything was just clicking for the first half hour.

Then as it went on it got a little worse. It's not enough to come close to sinking the movie but the quality does decline a bit. I still think it's a fucking great movie though. Not amazing, but great, definitely worth a watch. It's pretty gruesome and well made all around, the script could just use some work.

What makes it great, in a nutshell, is that it actually feels like a legit sci-fi movie. It was OBVIOUSLY in the hands of somebody who knows sci-fi, somebody who knows that a sci-fi world should be interesting and different, have a life of its own. None of this bullshit where other "sci-fi" movies "create a world" that is boring as piss. There's nothing worse in sci-fi, or fantasy, when a movie just doesn't feel like it's taking place in some different world. It can take place on Earth, but it needs to feel like science fiction. Not just HEY WE THREW IN SOME FUTURISTIC SHIT FOR YOU. I know I'm probably not doing a good job of explaining what I mean.
