OK, so, Prometheus. [View all]

Truly enjoyed watching this movie. IMAX 3D eye candy -- you're soaking in it.

But I had some problems with a lot of the science talk. Most of the science talk. OK, all of it, frankly. But the eye candy was so lovely and I'd spent $17 on a ticket, so, hey! I was letting the movie flow. Fun, fun.

And then the whole thing fell apart thinking about it later. I found a mega-spoiler-heavy review online that really, really, really pointed it out. And it wasn't just the science talk, it was all of it. In fact, it was such a fricking mess of a script that the whole thing feels like Katy Perry's new hit single, "I Got Facehugged And I Liked It."

Anybody else feel that way?
