Prometheus

"Remains earthbound in narrative terms, forever hinting at the existence of a higher intelligence without evincing much of its own"
 

"A visually stunning return to science-fiction (...) won't become a genre benchmark like those classics [Alien, Blade Runner] despite its equivalent seriousness and ambition, but it does supply enough visual spectacle, tense action and sticky, slithery monster" 

"Visually impressive (...) this anticlimactic exercise too often plays as though it has been cobbled together from archetypes, imagery and tropes from countless other movies (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)" 

"'Prometheus' is a magnificent science-fiction film, all the more intriguing because it raises questions about the origin of human life and doesn't have the answers (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)"

 

"A Ridley Scott film is always perfectly shot, intelligently edited and easy on the eye, and Prometheus is no different. (...) majestic opening scenes" 

"Buffeted by a lack of suspense, threadbare characters, and a very poor script, the stunning visuals, gloopy madness, and sterling Fassbenderiness can’t prevent Prometheus feeling like Alien’s poor relation. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)" 

"'Alien' betrayed by his own creator (...) There is nothing left of what was, thirty years ago, the success of 'Alien', his style unique - the strangeness that pervaded the air, containment, murky light, the paranoia, the personality of Ripley"
