Variety guy didn't like it, but he typically reviews things based on what he thinks are their box-office potential. Given the subject matter, it could be limited.

Kinda disappointed in the reviews so far. Even the most positive ones point out flaws in the script, characters, etc. God I hope this doesn't suck.

With the insane expectations of fandom it's kind of hard to imagine how this WON'T let down many of them.

I read a plot summary on wikipedia, and my reaction was -meh-.

Part of me thinks it's worth merging this with the existing Prometheus thread and letting someone start a new reviews thread when there are actual reviews to discuss.
Thoughts?

Okay, I moved 46 posts out of this thread. From this point on let's keep the discussion to reviews or man-on-man action in straight porn, thanks.

Okay, here's an actual review from AICN (mild spoilers): http://www.aintitcool.com/node/56182
The guy levels a lot of criticism at Lindelof, and rightfully so. I was worried when I saw he was attached. I don't like his style, and it sounds like it's in full bloom here. Hopefully the visuals are enough to overcome what may be serious script deficiencies.

I've lowered my expectations quite a bit with these lukewarm reviews. I'm still looking forward to it, but I'm not expecting it to be the game changer I was initially hoping it would be.

I guess because I didn't think Alien was the masterpiece some people claim it to be, but I just expected this to be a visually impressive, entertaining summer movie.

I'm not an Alien fanatic but do hold it as a masterpiece, I guess. I hate that word actually...anyway...may I ask? Why don't you hold it in high regard?

A large part of it has to do with me seeing it in my 20s (like 5 years ago) other than a little earlier -- by that point I had seen so many movies that followed a similar recipe that it was hard to sympathize with it being one of, if not the, originals. The movie tries to pull you in with atmosphere and dread but it never connected for me. Well made with some impressive visuals, especially for the time, but never anything particularly special in my book. It's a small story told in a big world that fits a little too well into B/Horror movie conventions.

^ Yet it is still getting generally good reviews. The biggest issue I see is they try to over-explain the stuff nobody cares about and skimp on the rest.
