Quick Reaction to “Prometheus”

I will save the “good stuff” for my upcoming LAMBcast. But I thought I would take a moment to reflect on some of what I saw on Tuesday evening.

Things I liked about Prometheus:

  • The marketing: I know some people were a bit overwhelmed by the viral marketing campaign. In fact there were even times when I thought that it may be too much. But after watching the film I must admit that it really did not give too much away but instead provided some good context for the proceedings on the screen.
  • The acting: especially the thespian triumvirate of Theron, Fassbender and Elba. Oh yeah and Pearce, too
  • The surprisingly immersive 3D experience. Prometheus one of the few films that I did not mind employing the gimmick use of technology.
  • The set design: Director Ridley Scott outdid himself with the set pieces on this film it was in a word – beautiful.

The things I did not like about the film:

  • Plot details: I feel like there was too much stuff crammed into the film; a few plot details could have fallen by the wayside for the sake of a clearer narrative.
  • An ending seemingly designed to hint at taking the story further (likely a studio version) because I cannot imagine Scott would think of the Alien ‘progenitor’ all by himself.
  • Not enough Rafe Spall 🙂

Overall, despite some flaws, I enjoyed the film.

Check out the latest “Prometheus” Featurette

This one is short (1:39) but packs a real wallop – I love it. My favorite part is that we get to see a few more bits of the film 🙂

What is amazing to me about this campaign is that with all of the footage, etc. I still have no idea exactly what to expect – except that it will be epic!

Let me know what you think below.

Check out these ‘new’ images, courtesy of the Official UK Facebook page for the upcoming film Prometheus!

I get happier and happier about this film by the moment – great to see a photo of Rafe Spall (last pic)! I nearly forgot that he was in the film.

In other Prometheus news, check out this article I saw regarding the ‘controversy’ behind the rating of the film.

Prometheus drops in the UK on 1st June and we get it Stateside 1 week later. Let the countdown continue …
