Bought Prometheus on DVD for a second look. Its crap.

I mean, its a good story idea with some interesting plot devices. But the characterisation is appallingly thin and really badly acted. Theron looks like she couldn't be bothered, Rapace is just plain stupid and the ensemble cast poorly developed. Compared to the original Alien where all the characters were well drawn.

I think its in the editing. Something somewhere did not gel.
