Prometheus, Ridley Scott’s sort of prequel to Alien (1979), has some huge ideas,
which it then ignores for some other huge ideas, and then fails to address any
of them.
OK, look, no-one’s expecting the meaning of life to come
from a Hollywood movie, but when the film purports to be an inquiry into the
very nature of humanity itself, not even trying to answer the premise is pretty
rubbish.
