| Cinemaphile.orgDavid KeyesIt is easily the most cerebral endeavor of its kind since "Minority Report." |
| The AristocratAdam RossVery few films can create a genuine sense of wonder and discovery, and Prometheus manages it for its entire 124 minute running time ... almost entirely a sensory experience. |
| NerdTears.comKevin McCarthy"Prometheus" is a cinematic masterpiece with beautifully haunting visuals and an epic score. Instead of spoon-feeding the audience, Scott allows you to think for yourself! |
| Richard Roeper.comRichard RoeperBrilliant. Epic. Haunting. Grotesque. Great. |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanA thigh-clenchingly frightening science-fiction epic as well as a ruminative, soul-baring existential study that's not afraid to ask the tough questions. |
| eFilmCritic.comPeter SobczynskiThis is the kind of bold filmmaking destined to stand the test of time when memories of most of its competitors have long faded away. |
| AV ClubTasha RobinsonThough Prometheus follows "Alien's" story beats, it's a looser and less satisfying story, more intellectual than visceral, and not fully satisfying on either level. But in part, that's because it's trying to do so much more. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertA magnificent science-fiction film, all the more intriguing because it raises questions about the origin of human life and doesn't have the answers. |
| ScreenRantBen KendrickPrometheus is a welcome return to form for Ridley Scott -- delivering a fascinating sci-fi storyline, gorgeous 3D visuals, and competent filmmaking choices. |
| TikkunDavid SterrittPrometheus might have given serous thought to this premise, but it opts instead for strenuous action. Still, the film has glimmerings of intelligence. |
