Biased and unprofessional as it may sound, I think I’m reaching a bit too much with this movie. That is, I want it to be one thing and try to pull it in that direction, but the movie’s trying to move in the opposite direction (by way of its creators and its intent). It’s reached a point where a part of me wishes Prometheus was actually two movies. One of them could be this journey to a mysterious planet, asking not only for an exploration of the harsh environment, but also the themes and ideas at large. The other movie could be the gruesome, freaky, kill-everyone-but-a-chosen-few horror film worthy of being a part of the Alien canon.
I’m not so brazen as to claim that the movie’s got a case of an identity crisis, especially since the most I know about the franchise at large is from about thirty minutes of viewing time from each movie put together (and fifteen of those minutes are from Alien Resurrection). If others feel that way, then that’s fine with me. I won’t knock them for it. But given that this is a highly-subjective topic, I will say this:
Why? Just…why?
(In case you’re just joining us, this post is absolutely filthy with spoilers. If you’re opposed to getting down and dirty with them, I suggest you bail out now. I wouldn't want you ruining your Wednesday best on my account.)
