Hated Prometheus. I agree with flippy's criticism's and then some.
Damon Lindelof brought us the last season of Lost, which basically said, "You know all those tantalizing mysteries we've been tossing around for half a decade? We're not going to answer them. Asking the questions is enough."
People defended that move, and now he wrote a crappy Alien prequel that does the same thing. Will there be "answers" in the next two movies? (turns out this is the first of a trilogy.) Who cares? He gave moviegoers Alien: The Phantom Menace (by way of Star Trek V). Screw him.
Spoiler alert: don't believe the lies that Ridley Scott floated about the plot. It's all hack work. If you think know what I'm talking about, you're probably right.
I'm looking forward to hating Lindelof's Star Trek script, too. Let the franchise-killing continue.
