Finally got around to seeing this having avoided this thread for weeks.
Overall I enjoyed it but it was let down by some weak characters, dialogue and plot holes. Visually it was stunning and Rapace/Fassbender put in great perfomances imo The rest of the crew were completely forgettable, unlike Alien. The plot had some interesting ideas and I enjoyed how the Jockeys were handled for the most part.
It certainly isn't a classic Alien film but I think it slots fairly well into the Alien universe.

It may not be a terrible film, but the faults are so obvious that they may as well be on par with one of the actors doing their scene with their jumper on inside out
unnecessary f**k ups

Well, the film has been out long enough that this minor spoiler is probably acceptable now...

The short-short is that you have a bunch of pious nerds that hate Prometheus because it's an art film, and they can't get their black and white minds around art or its motives.

Watched Alien³ last night. Was amused to see the video equipment they used to record Ripley's last moments was a massive VHS type affair, the sort I used to record my family stuff back in the early 90s.
