The special effects are great, the scenery and photography is lovely but the film is as a whole a big disappointment. You would have thought that with such a budget they could have hired some guy to make a basic sanity check of the script but obviously that wasn’t in the budget for this one. I do not know if a lot of Hollywood people are idiots or think the audience are idiots or both but for Christ sake, how …

Good Sci-fi 👍🏾 Finding a map left by our creators and then following it lightyears away for the search of the meaning of life, and immortality... Forget the horror part of the film, that plot alone had me fully immersed. I watch this one at least twice a year.

Follows greatly the Hero with a Thousand Faces, very well executed. Probably the best science-fiction ever made, along Kubrick's Space Odyssey 2001, where you can actually learn something about true technology. Well done for those who can see. We need more!

I can't think of a movie that's better looking but is more frustratingly incoherent than Prometheus (2012).

[clears throat] I like Prometheus better than any other movie in the Alien franchise. [prepares to be pelted with garbage]
How this was made: an AI model (deepseek-v4-flash) read 34 of the 237 public posts we collected about this film and wrote the summary, likes and dislikes, citing the posts behind each point ([n] opens the post). A second AI pass checked every statement against the posts it cites; anything it could not match was removed, and code removed any statement with quotation marks, numbers that are not in the posts, or unattributed claims about people.

Critics, per Wikipedia
Prometheus has a 73% approval rating from 312 critics with an average rating of 7/10 on the review-aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, which says, "Ridley Scott's ambitious quasi-prequel to Alien may not answer all of its big questions, but it's redeemed by its haunting visual grandeur and compelling performances—particularly Michael Fassbender as a fastidious android." Metacritic provides a score of 64 out of 100 from 43 critics, which indicates "generally favorable" reviews. CinemaScore polls reported that the average grade moviegoers gave the film was a "B" on a scale of A+ to F, while audience members under 25 rated it the highest at A−.

60 of 246 · most liked firstFinally watched Prometheus for the first time this morning, after hearing Matt rave about it for YEARS. This film is so delightfully gross (thinking the wormy in his eye) and horrifying. The surgery scene is incredible. And holy hell, FASSBENDER IS SO GOOD #horrormovie #horrorsky #moviesky #filmsky

He said it was better than Alien and Aliens put together Lawyer: did he offer evidence to corroborate that statement? Daniels: he said you had to be very smart to understand it Trump: *hands note to attorney*
neutral · AI labelView post →Well, I mean, Romulus is basically every Alien movie ever made. Which is my main beef with sequels in the series and why Prometheus at least stands out. But it is nicely shot at least.

positive · AI labelView post →In Prometheus (a movie universally recognized as good) it’s called a med pod, not a med bed
neutral · AI labelView post →Prometheus got a bad rap. it has a few execution issues but man it is a fucken killer movie — production design and story, not to mention the fact that it’s all heavy hitters who will go on to land a bunch of later major roles
positive · AI labelView post →Rewatched Prometheus, is that movie still sort of derided in general? It rules both on its own and also as part of the Alien universe, people are weird.
positive · AI labelView post →Rewatching “Prometheus.” One of the many details that I love about the film is the way in which so many of the establishing shots are framed in such a way as to emphasise scale. And to underscore how small our heroes seem in the grand scheme of things. Almost hard to see.

positive · AI labelView post →I think the most actively annoyed I’ve been at a movie was either the time I saw Prometheus and in front of me was the movie Prometheus and behind me was a woman who asked what was going on in every single scene, every single moment as if she had Momento disease OR

neutral · AI labelView post →the problem with Prometheus wasn't so much that the fake science doesn't make sense (who cares) but that the scientist characters in the film act so stupidly even within the fictional context of the story
negative · AI labelView post →Look, I'm in the minority here, but Romulus was mid at best and had basically no bones. It's a gorgeous film, bit its about as deep as a thimble. Prometheus and Civenant may have been weird, but damn they are ambitious
positive · AI labelView post →My daughter wants to watch Prometheus before Romulus comes out. So I'm rewatching Prometheus now. A pretty movie that I don't like so much.
negative · AI labelView post →Thought something similar about the film Prometheus: I always wondered why Dr. Holloway was so condescending and mean to the android David. And now I understand why: Because screw David and everything he represents.

positive · AI labelView post →Crazy how much he looks like the kinda guy who would be the Villain in a film like Prometheus.
neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatched PROMETHEUS, as one does during the holidays. Yes there is the scene with a Christmas tree but the movie also ends on New Years. So it’s both a Christmas and New Years movie. The prefect time to watch it is in the middle of those two holidays which is today. Make today PROMETHEUS day.
