  WHAT I LIKED: 'Prometheus' is without doubt the most ambitious film in the Alien trilogy, as it properly delves into some very interesting themes and plants numerous seeds whilst advancing hugely in visual design too. Yes it really feels like Ridley Scott put all his eggs in one basket and forced them to hatch here, and the result is a film that rather boggles the mind, and creates source for much admiration and enjoyment.
  WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: However, cramming all that stuff into a two hour film often makes it feel rather messy and fast, and the thing consequently gets less time for character development or tension-building which means it drops some of the human edge that made the originals so appealing.
  VERDICT: An admirably ambitious and vastly spectacular film that just does a little too much a little too quickly.
