Prometheus Reviews

Movie Reviews

• this is jumbo-size science fiction, with a handsome, impermeable titanium gleam - and a thick coating of creationism lite

  Review rate : B+ by Lisa Schwarzbaum [Entertainment Weekly ]

• this is a remarkably scary and eye-popping headrush of a movie, an experience that offers a maximum adrenaline boost at the same time as it engages your intelligence

  by Glenn Kenny [MSN Movies ]

• the sexual subtext is still very much there - every nook and cranny seems to resemble an orifice

  by Peter Howell [Toronto Star ]

• the ending isn't squishy scary or deeply satisfying. Bummer

  by Peter Travers [Rolling Stone ]

• somber, spectacular and ponderous,"Prometheus" virtually thrums with the desire to become a classic of science-fiction cinema

  by Andrew O'Hehir [Salon.com ]

• Prometheus is magnificent. Shot in 3D but without the director taking the process into account in his conceptions or execution, the film absorbs and uses the process seamlessly

  by Todd McCarthy [Hollywood Reporter ]

• part philosophical treatise, part pulp fiction, part pure horror show, Ridley Scott's"Prometheus" ends up with less to say than it thinks it does

  by Kenneth Turan [Los Angeles Times ]

• its grand sets and intricate effects are dazzling, and in at least one scene, Scott almost manages to top himself

  by Rafer Guzman [Newsday ]

• inviting comparison to The Tree of Life's formation-of-the-universe digression or 2001: A Space Odyssey's monolith overture

  by Nick Pinkerton [Village Voice ]

• flawed, but stupidity cannot be numbered among its missteps

  by James Berardinelli [ReelViews ]

• a lot of the pleasure of "Prometheus" is in that hovering

  by A.O. Scott [New York Times ]

• "Prometheus" is just big, beautiful, and empty

  by Ty Burr [Boston Globe ]

• "Prometheus" is a good movie, sometimes very good. It's just not a great movie

  by Bill Goodykoontz [Arizona Republic ]

• "elegant" and "stately" are two adjectives that won't mean a thing to the potential teen audience for "Prometheus," but they're the most apt

  by Michael Phillips [Chicago Tribune ]
