I'm in Seattle, with it's great indie art movie houses -- so I go see Prometheus.

My opinion differs. I give it a solid B grade. If you're a fan of the Aliens saga, this story fills in a few blanks; it's a prequel explaining the origins. It is not cryptic; it tells the story, while leaving opening for more to follow. For scifi fans, the faults won't keep you from enjoying this film. If the Alien gore bothers you, then be advised that it here also.

The characters, other than Michael Fassbender, don't give Academy performances, but are good enough. Credibility is lost with Noomi Rapace's role (all I can say is don't mess with Lizbeth Salander), but it roles on. Fassbender's character takes liberties with "2001: A Space Odyssey"; in looking like Keir Dullea and sounding like HAL.

The effects and scenery are first rate, but IMO, the 3D thing didn't add much. A few of the close-behind-the-body shots had me wanting to yell "down in front"0. It would be just as enjoyable in 2D.

Otherwise, if you find yourself in Seattle, make your way to The Harvard Exit or Seven Gables theaters. Fine old cozy theaters showing non-first run indies.
