PROMETHEUS; Carlisle’s Final Word.

Score; 4/10




Final Word; A nonsensical, overblown, cliché ridden and smug mess of a film. Makes the fatal mistake of revealing its ‘twist’ in the opening scene and has nothing else to keep you interested. So many plot holes and ‘what the fuck?’ moments  it makes the mind boggle. If it didn’t have Ridley Scott’s name attached no critic would give it the time of day- what was he thinking? Does Scott have Dementia now? Vicker's quote opening this review sadly illustrates both the career of Ridley Scott and the genre-defining Alien franchise.
