"Who needs a plot when you have really expensive special effects?"

Amen to that. The spurned daughter, the robot "son" programmed by the not-quite-as-dead-as-we-were-to-believe dad. A crew of red shirts I had not sympathy or connection with, in fact I didn't care for anyone on that ship with the exception of the robot who was the most fascinating character in the film.
Plot holes you could drive a truck through, the film did NOT connect well to the Alien film, in fact I believe the producers are hoping for a sequel as the planet Prometheus takes place on was not LV-426, the planet where Alien takes place but is LV-223.
I cannot believe that the female heroine takes an alien space ship on a hunt for the Engineers (to ask them why they hate us now) in a ship that most likely is full of the weaponized DNA (for lack a better description), the stuff she almost got killed by with the head of an insane robot stashed in a bag.
How does she expect to survive? Will the Engineer stasis chamber work for her, if it doesn't, then what?
And why does anyone build a space ship in the shape of a horseshoe??? What happens when you get to one end of ship and realize you forgot your space wrench clean around the other end?! Just going for a little jog boss, be right back in an hour or so, (must be a union ship).
The medical machine or "autodoc" was lifted right out of some very good science fiction, Ringworld by Larry Niven to name just one source for that idea. I hate it when current screen writes openly steal ideas and concepts from past writers and think no one will notice.

I love Alien and Aliens, the rest is garbage, including the current, badly made, Prometheus. IMHO.
