Prometheus



My movie notes and minor spoilers ahead.

1. Visually stunning, almost bordering on epic.
2. SPOILERS: Dragon Tattoo lady was good, but imagine if it was ScarJo giving birth to an alien covered with just tissue-like clothing.
3. Fassbenderneato was amazing as David. I would imagine it is difficult to portray an android that's bordering on having no emotions at all to feeling disdain and disappointment to your human counterparts.
4. Overall, the story was good and had existed with the Alien mythology.
5. SPOILERS: Just too many plot holes that needed answering, i.e. Why did David spike the vodka drink? Why did the engineers leave star maps to what should have been their top secret military facility? Was the black goo the end game weapon for destroying earth or was it the long-headed aliens? Did David have prior knowledge of the engineers, their technology, and their targets?
6. Replayability: extremely high

Additional note: Read a funny piece online about Elizabeth Shaw's supposed SMS messages with the engineers. Do not read it unless you have already watched the movie.

Another update: Io9.com has just released a "All of Your Lingering Prometheus Questions, Answered!" page with an interview from screenwriter Damon Lindelof which answers at least some of my plot hole questions.
