What I liked best about Prometheus were the holographic effects - the rendering of the pyramid that developed on the ship's bridge, and of course the aliens' space trajectory plotting on their own bridge. Brilliant use of 3D.

Then there was that cool "aha!" moment when the surviving "space jockey" got into his seat and started up his spaceship. That really made the connection with the first Alien film.

And Noomi Rapace is the coolest. If you don't believe me, get the Swedish original version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

What I liked least was Guy Pearce's makeup. Ludicrous! Why not use a real senior actor?
