Critics Sentiment
Shaw extracts alien creature using automated surgery table
Snake creature kills Millburn and mutates Fifield
The film plummets from David's intriguing android performance to the scientists' inexplicably stupid behavior with alien creatures, dropping over 2 points.
Prometheus starts strong with visual grandeur and Fassbender's acclaimed performance, but suffers significantly in the middle act due to illogical character decisions and plot holes. The film recovers somewhat with effective horror sequences like Shaw's surgery, though it never fully regains its early promise, leaving critics appreciating the ambition while frustrated by the execution.
