I watched Prometheus on Netflix, today. Basically out of curiosity of all the strong opinions. I tried to have an open mind, but I didn't like it. The CG and makeup took me out of the movie. The characters were all unenjoyable, except for the robot.

Hokey science aside, there wasn't enough action to be an action movie. There wasn't enough suspense to be a thriller or horror. Meh.

It sucked so much. But what might have made me more annoyed was that even though I have every premium movie channel and like 5439 other channels there was nothing else to watch.

I loved it and I'm picky.

And, as Quinton Tarantino said, “Don’t give me a movie where the smartest people in the galaxy are dumb enough to play with the space cobra. Here little space cobra – tickle tickle.”

After trying my best to stay neutral before watching it, I didn't like it either.

I yelled at the screen a few times when the characters where being super stupid. I can see how it could have been much better.

I kept getting hung up on the fact that, for a science exploration crew, they had NO quarantine procedures. WTF?! Even WE stupid, backwater, non-spacefaring earthbillies (since, from a space perspective, we don't all live on a hill, of course) know that you have to follow quarantine protocol when you come into contact with something new.

The first "dude, I'm a science dude and I'm going to just take off my suit and breathe this unknown air, dude!" made me want to scream. It didn't get better after that.

However, I did like the opening scene with the DNA transfer, somehow I found it interesting enough that it's stuck with me.

Silver lining: Despicable Me 2 trailer kinda sounds like they're aping Prometheus cool noise thing.
