I was somewhere between "mildly" and "quite".

Script is supposed to be really clunky, rest of the film decent.

It was almost like it had a plot which couldn't decide what plot it wanted to be. The convoluted way in which one particular life form was born seemed silly. Noomi Whatsherface looked nice in her pants, mind.

Did you watch in normal or 3D ?

Often the 3D aspect is a distractive marketing ploy to help cover up the duffness of a film.....then again 3D is also duffness in itself anyway... IMHO !

Not seen it yet and will probably wait till I get my hands on a blueray

I saw it in 3D, yes. I'm still not decided about 3D yet. I was sat in the middle row last night and I felt too close to the screen. If it were not 3D, I don't think I would have felt like that. I had trouble focusing in places.

I eschewed 3D and watched the flat version.

I saw it today, and I thought it was pretty splendid to be honest. If the script was 'clunky' it didn't detract, and it is absolutely gorgeous to look at. There was a slight sense of disappointment in the sense that the big unanswered questions that the movie is based around never really get answered, but other than that I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Then again, the last thing I saw was Dark Shadows. After that, anything would have seemed like a masterpiece.

Shall be going in the next day or so. Can't wait.

Word of warning; no matter how tempting the trailer seems, DO NOT go and see Snow White & The Huntsman. Unless, of course, you like sleeping in cinemas. Dull, dull, dee dull-dull.

Went to see Prometheus this afternoon. Enjoyed. I did start to drift at a couple of points - during the 'action' sections, curiously - but generally enjoyed it. As part of the 'Alien' legacy it's going to have to fight to hold its own, but as a gutsy, moralistic sci-fi romp it was decent.

I don't need to see anything in 3D. I did feel like Prometheus in 3D would feel like a completely different movie; much more 'cinema' rather than a Ridley Scott sci-fi-drama.

The 3D effect in Prometheus is very subtle, according to Scott and those who've seen it.

3D is indeed very subtle, although it was the first I'd seen.

I think if you bear in mind that Scott was quoted as saying it's not a prequel to Alien, and if he does a sequel then it will be heading in a different direction to the Alien quadrology, the film itself is pretty good.

Since Prometheus me and the missus have watched the quadrology. Aliens is clearly the best one. Resurrection is a bit daft but fairly awesome.
