CNN IBN: By Rajeev Masand
Rating: 3/5
This prequel pales in comparison to Alien, but is eminently watchable despite its shortcomings. You’re unlikely to be bored during its roughly 2 hours 20 minutes running time, although you’ll wish the film was smarter. It’s no classic, but it’s unquestionably entertaining, and gives you much to talk about. Worth a watch.......Read Full Review

Prometheus is an intellectual scientific adventure of epic grandeur. In fact, make sure you indulge in a more-than-one-time-viewing of the movie to get the idea bang on. The film however does get bogged down a bit by its meandering scenes which tend to distract.....Read Full Review

Prometheus is entertaining enough, for all its promise and lofty themes, the film proves to be a triumph of style over substance with a story as perforated as the floor of an acid-bleeding Xenomorph's lair......Read Full Review

Rating: 3/5
Prometheus can be partially enjoyed as a striking journey that begins and ends in interrogation. When not fooling us with its pretense of existentialism babble, does reasonably well as a creep-thrills packed sci-fi thriller that has more blockbuster than breakthrough on its mind......Read Full Review

Prometheus has a very different heart. Designed to be epic, its scale drops the jaw by default. It poses a gigantic theological conundrum, questions the gods in Erich von Däniken fashion, and masterfully processes mostly everything impassively......Read Full Review
Mid-Day: By Mihir Fadnavis
Rating: 2.5/5
Prometheus poses more questions than answers, and the sequel bait at the climax, though frustrating, gives way to a potential trilogy that would be more than welcome......Read Full Review

Ridley Scott's "Prometheus" is a magnificent science-fiction film, all the more intriguing because it raises questions about the origin of human life and doesn't have the answers......Read Full Review

Ridley Scott's ambitious quasi-prequel to Alien may not answer all of its big questions, but it's redeemed by its haunting visual grandeur and compelling performances -- particularly Michael Fassbender as a fastidious android.
Rolling Stone: By Peter Travers
Rating: 3/4
The ending isn't squishy scary or deeply satisfying. Bummer. Otherwise, Prometheus kicks ass so hard and often that it's impossible not to be thrilled by it......Read Full Review
New York Times: By A. O. Scott
Rating: 3.5/5
Mr. Scott's sense of visual scale, which has often produced hectic, hectoring grandiosity (are you not entertained?), achieves, especially in the first hour, something like genuine grandeur......Read Full Review
Wall Street Journal: By Joe Morgenstern
Rating: Thumbs Down

This tale of an interstellar search asks cosmic questions about the meaning of life, but comes up with lame answers in a script that screams attention-deficit disorder......Read Full Review
