Prometheus lost my interest when Charlize Theron got squashed like a bug.
But in fairness it still remains far from the worst atrocity ever perpetrated upon the franchise of acid blooded chest busters
A big problem with Prometheus is that people had very very very high expectations of the movie. Ridley Scott made it out to be part 2001 and part At the Mountains of Madness, but ultimately it was neither and fell flat.
Bringing in Lindelof was a huge mistake. He's the guy that you let take the first crack at a script. Then you bring someone else in to clear the nebulous threads and create a cohesive story. Lets hope that Alien Covenant is a much better movie.
My top 10
ALIEN
DUNE <--odd movie but I liked it
Original Star Wars Trilogy
Blade Runner
Star Trek II Wrath of Kahn
ALIENS
The Matrix (can throw this in as the trilogy)
The Martian
Children of Men
District 9
