LetsWatchSomething's rating
When you decide to watch Prometheus, you'll probably do one of two things. You can either disregard the entire film due to its poor scientific standing or you can just appreciate it for the decent film it is.
I've chosen to do the latter just because it's ridiculous to bash a film constantly based on the science. What about the imagery or the acting? I think too many people have got carried away with actively attacking the film due to many positive reviews.
In any sense, the film serves as an average 'prequel' to the 'Alien' series, it was no surprise that they tried to distance themselves from the Aliens by throwing in the idea of the engineers who they believe created the human race. Unfortunately I must admit that the thought process on the characters and the actions they do are extremely limited and come across as reckless and stupid.
This for me is where the main problem lies, I can't fault the acting because clearly the script is the trouble. It appears the characters are magnets for disaster, they have no regard for safety and don't seem to be at all aware of the conditions of the planet (LV-223 which I believe is a moon). This has nothing to do with the science element of the film, but since these people are looking for the greatest question asked to mankind, it appears they don't seem to be the ideal candidates intelligence wise.
Other than that, the film is quite interesting in the way the events pan out, it's hard to categorise the film in terms of a genre since it isn't a horror like 'Alien' and it isn't a thriller since it doesn't really keep the viewer gripped.
Just take this film as it is, basically a 'Look what we can do with effects and a $100 million dollar plus budget'. If you take nothing else away from the film at least enjoy the aesthetics... or watch this film as you dumb down a notch or two!

'Air' is the first ever show that I have actually shed a tear for.
It's perfect. Unforgettable. It's fair to suggest that 'Air' could be considered a stepping stone into the world of emotional Anime because essentially that is all it is. Just pure powerful moving emotions that continuously fly at the viewer and if like me, you watched it unprepared, then you're in for a real treat because being sad isn't the only emotion present in this Anime.
'Air' is filled with lots of fun and reminiscent of simple times as a child despite the characters being in their late teens (I think). It's surprisingly funny and packed full of interesting characters that are fully explored. I felt immersed in a world that I didn't have a clue about yet it was so easy to access, the town is specifically one of the things that stood out as memorable to me and really emphasises the power of simplicity.
The story is one that leads you one way then completely drags you off your feet and sends you another, considering it only consists of 12 episodes, it's amazing how much actually occurs. I don't wish to give away any spoilers, however some of the events in the series can be a little hard to understand and ultimately we are left with an ending that is open to interpretation about what had been achieved.
What truly makes 'Air' one of the best, is the soundtrack that is used throughout the series. I often find myself thinking about one of the pieces unintentionally because they are considerably catchy and add to the overall atmosphere that I believe would not be the same without it.
'Air' is truly a must see and definitely one I would recommend to someone who has never seen Anime before, but for other people who have, it's a great way to discover that there is more than just violence and smashes many negative stereotypes about Anime out of the water.
