Prometheus has not convinced part of the critics.
Ridley Scott's latest movie, Prometheus, has been released in Spain with 3D technology and only two months after its premiere in the US. Thus since last August 3, Scott is back on our screens and although he has achieved good data at the box office, he seems not to have convinced the critics. The cast that has managed to reunite, headed by Charlize Theron, Noomi Rapace and Guy Pearce; and count among the scriptwriters the prestigious Damon Lindelof (Lost), It has not been enough to convince the most demanding sector of critics.
The duration of Scott's film, 125 minutes, gets long at times, in an action that you expect more than what you see. Without a doubt the director of 'Alien'He has not known how to ring the bell with this issue, despite the expectation that had been raised in this regard, having converted Prometheus in one of the most anticipated titles of the year. And it is that many of us wonder if one really needed one prequel to 'Alien'.
The truth is that if in 'Alien'there was a spectacular script and fewer media and technologies than desired, in' Prometheus' I dare say that the opposite has happened, a lot of media, a lot of technology, but a script that doesn't hold up and doesn't engage the viewer.
The highlight of Prometheus may be the performance of Michael Fassbender, that saves as can the plot of a film without alterations, without personality, and that pretentiously addresses a subject such as the hostile creator who is already very hackneyed on the big screen.
In Ridley Scott's filmography we find titles that have elevated him as a great director, from Alien, Blade Runner, Thelma and Louise, 1492, Gladiator or Hannibal, but the truth is that his last bets have not had the results that were expected.
Let's see if with a little luck on his next project, 'The Counselor' in which will repeat with Michael Fassbender it conquers us again. In addition to Fassbender, in 'The Counselor'Scott will have a very cinematic couple, our Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem. Angelina Jolie was also expected to match Brad Pitt, but finally the actress declined the role and her character will play it Cameron Diaz. The filming of this film was suspended after the death of Ridley Scott's brother, but will be resumed shortly.
