Since I bought the box set of Blade Runner recently, I thought I would rewatch another Ridley Scott flick, Prometheus, since it's on Amazon Prime. First time I caught the film since it came out on DVD about 10 years ago. I watched it on Thursday night all in one sitting — my hay fever started acting up, so reading my overdue library wasn't working.
Prometheus has held up pretty well. I still find it implausible in the the final third that Noomi Rapace's character would remove the alien from herself then be able to physically strain herself that would injure even a profession athlete. But I've stepped back on my criticism of the alien not being exactly like the ones in the Sigourney Weaver movies; I see now that the Engineers' creation is almost like open software where the alien is different depending on the hosts.
