Who has seen it? What did you think of it?
I thought it was good but could've been much better. It's like they mashed two different movies together. It isn't as scary as I expected and occasionally the people in the movie act really stupid. With that said, there's a lot going around behind the scenes and there's lots to analyse, you might need to see it more than once to catch everything. The acting is very good and the CGI is gorgeous.
There are several trailers for the movie but they spoil too much of the movie, so don't watch them.
Hated it.
Had the feeling Ridley Scott did his own tentacle-porn-hentai movie full of plot holes and wtf situations.
The story had some great themes but none of them were used to their potential. The best part was the first act, simply because it works as a non-official adaptation of At the Mountains of Madness (which was written almost a century ago, so nothing very original in here...)
...
I'll have to give it a second change though, since my mother looooooved it and wants to go and watch it again. Not mentioning that my best friend still hasn't seen it and chances are we will need to discuss about it, as geeks do.
What bothered me was the characters. Many of them are flat and underdeveloped (Ford, Jackson etc). Sometimes their characterization is inconsistent (Millburn & Fifield). And like I said, sometimes even the well written ones act stupid (Holloway, Vickers in the end)...
With that said, I can't say I found that many plotholes. Sure, there are many WTF moments but most of them made sense to me after thinking about them for a while.
I haven't actually read At the Mountains of Madness, but I do know that there are many references to classic science fiction in the movie.
Ridley Scott....
I don't see how the movie had as many plot holes as people say, I've seen it twice and can only make out one which may have an explanation for itself. Every plot hole people have pointed out on the internet I've had an explanation for. As for the character development, the reason that Millburn and Fifield ran away
When I saw the title of the movie I thought they were finally making a movie on how Prometheus came to Earth and brought an evolution machine. He tried to give it to us cavemen (Bob) but we were too stupid, so the monkey figured it out and that's why we evolved from monkeys. c:
I thought it was pretty decent, but didn't care for
and also the way they decided
I also thought some of the emotion of the characters were forced and didn't feel natural. Great atmosphere and effects though.

Ironically, Roger Ebert gave the movie 4 out of 4 stars...
