the film itself, it's totally unenjoyable rubbish. The director must be a first year film student who just happens to be the name sake of the famous one.
Very true. Thought of this myself while watching the movie.
The whole time, generally. But the storyteller is supposed to at least try to make it believable.At which point in a story are you supposed to suspend your disbelief?

The fact that most of the characters act like complete idiots. Without it being lampshaded or handwaved or anything that would make it easier to accept that all those characters should be acting like, well, idiots. "Prolonged cryostasis may impede cognitive functions." "The atmosphere is rich in retardium, a rare element that makes everyone... not... smart... brain." Nothing.Which part of Prometheus was unbelievable?

Or not suicidally. On the other hand, it was never stated that they were the absolute worst in their field either, so it still came as a surprise when it turned out every one of them was a suicidal unproffessional incompetent idiot.At no point was it ever stated that these people were even close the best in their respective fields, nor was it implied that they would act professionally.
It's not about whether you can poke holes or not, it's about how easy it is to spot them, and how hard it is to ignore them.Could you name a sci-fi movie that got it right according to what's believable? Because I guarantee you that holes could be poked in that one and that people do things that you probably wouldn't do.
