There was a lot of hype for this movie, and some people have said they loved it. A lot of others are saying it's a total travesty and Ridley Scott needs to retire immediately.
So is it worth seeing? Are there any other overhyped movies I should or shouldn't avoid?
-
I also have yet to see it.
-
It's worth it for the visuals, not much else.
-
I haven't seen it, but I heard it was strange
-
I would also like to see it. Does it have a good mythos?
-
It was pretty decent, of course it wasn't as good as it was hyped to be.
-
I don't see what is so terrible about it that angers some people. I didn't really get caught up in the hype which might be why but I thought it was a solid summer movie. [Edited on 10.09.2012 3:51 PM PDT]

Its worth seeing I guess. But too me it was just a reboot of Alien.
-
That movie was awesome, totally worth it!
-
It was a great film. Very cool.
-
I feel asleep for about twenty minutes while I was watching it.

I saw it a couple of days ago, and I loved it. Although I have to admit [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1byZkbNB3Jw]the trailer[/url] makes the movie look 100000x better than it is, but nonetheless, it was a great movie the whole way through and kept me glued to the screen. The visuals were astounding at times. [b][u]If you watch it, watch it at 1080p.[/b][/u] Also, discovering how exactly the Xenomorphs came to be was extremely interesting. IMO, best movie I've seen this year. [Edited on 10.09.2012 3:54 PM PDT]

Yeah, it's worth seeing. It brings back more of the horror element from the original Alien, all while introducing new things while leaving you with questions. Way too many questions left unanswered, though. Sequels are needed.

Not worth it in my opinion. Worst movie I've seen this year.

I only liked the original ALIEN and hate the other five or whatever Aliens movies they made, and still enjoyed Prometheus.

Don't think of it as an Alien prequel, but as a standalone movie, else you'll be disappointed [Edited on 10.09.2012 3:59 PM PDT]

I really enjoyed it, but if you're a big Alien fan do not see it thinking it is a prequal to the Alien franchise, it will just piss you off. [Edited on 10.09.2012 4:01 PM PDT]

The visuals were amazing, and Noomi is gorgeous in the movie. There are also several interesting throwbacks to the Alien series, especially considering that Noomi's hair is even styled the same as Sigourney's was in the originals. But the story and its character development is severely lacking. The motivation for the characters' decisions are very odd, some of the dialog is cheap, and the plot drags on. It's not bad, but it certainly didn't live up to the hype.
-
If you like the Alien universe then definitely go see it.

Reboot =/= prequel. There are supposedly 2 more films that are supposed to set up Alien 1. And that always works out. *looks at Star Wars*

I didn't like it. It left me with a lot more questions than answers, and had HEAVY religious overtones. [Edited on 10.09.2012 4:04 PM PDT]
