However, many found the plot confusing and felt that some character decisions were illogical, leading to disappointment regarding the film's overall coherence and payoff.

Looks good, but feels a bit hollow to me. <em>'Prometheus'</em> - which serves as a (loose) prequel to <em>'Alien'</em> - didn't excite me and I didn't feel like I got anything from it. It's still a good film and it is a pleasant looking...
