PROMETHEUS: Ridley Scott's revisitation of the Alien universe generally fails to sustain suspense like the original or match the action intensity of James Cameron's well-regarded sequel.  It is occasionally interesting, although the ostensibly deep questions it poses serve mostly as plot devices.  Scott brings his usual excellence to the task of creating the environment of the story.  The sequences involving extraterrestrials are generally compelling to watch.  Michael Fassbender gets another opportunity to stand out in a talented ensemble.  However, the overall result is a disappointment, even if one drops the expectations of a Ridley Scott Alien picture and judges it solely by the caliber and ambition of everyone involved.
