Prometheus
Ridley Scott’s visually impressive prequel to his original Alien film. Narrative couldn’t quite match the beauty of the technology and the scale of the environment, which were wonderful. Needed some deeper characterizations. Much less of a horror film, more of a straight galactic adventure. Really enjoyed looking at it. **
The Far Country
Fairly interesting 1955 Jimmie Stewart western about two cowboys who go to Alaska to get rich. Great scenery, but very predictable, dated writing and action. The female roles were especially shallow and painfully sexist. Not a complete waste of time.
