Prometheus (2012)

Jules: This film divided film viewers and critics to a surreal degree; but is it perhaps the film which most deserved overlooking in 2012? Despite its problems, however, what does it tell us about the ability of today’s filmmakers to revisit their own pasts?

David: Plot tendrils snaking about like a grasping facehugger that’s drunk too much coffee. The franchise that inspired so many films borrows back from nearly all of them.
