Ho Hum Prometheus

Saw Prometheus. It. Was. Ok. Great filmmaking. Good story. Good scenes and set pieces. Not enough time given to character development and motivation, plus scenes are disjointed with no lasting emotional resonance from one to the other. I was also shocked at the number of standard interplanetary health and safety precautions the "doctors" violated and the speed with which they violated them (I'm not that big of a nerd, but everyone knows not to take your helmet off and handle alien biological material at the same time).  It's a good movie, but if Ridley Scott had put 30 more minutes into it getting me to connect to the characters it would have been great.
