I generally enjoyed this film. The pacing and camera work is pretty good, but one of the characters struck me as someone who never acted before - ever, and should never again! I tried not to dwell on it, but Mike the trucker, absolutely ruined this movie! Who in the hell let him on the set? Sorry nothing personal, but please tell me he threatened to pull the financing if he didn't get a role... Is he someone's old neighborhood friend? Someone should have seen this a bit sooner I think, oh geez.

Warning: Spoilers
After seeing Damon Lindellof was a co-writer of this atrocity, I was no longer surprised of it's pure lame idiocy.
I have not been this disappointed and shocked since I started posting on whylostsucks.com a few years back. Picking out the holes and laughing at the poor writing in that farce of a show. Questions, questions - no answers. All types of things happening, all unrelated to the story, stupid ending... All the same crap I had to put up with watching LOST, only to see what is was all about in the end - nothing.
I saw the original Alien in a theater back in the day, and I like it now as much as I did then. Amazingly realistic characters, setting, pacing, everything. Brilliant to this day.
Where was Ridley Scott in this silly escapade? Did he go senile?
This POS is positively ridiculous, for example:
I can't continue anymore. There are just too many things wrong with this horribly written, commercial, stereotypical, cliché-ridden, film.
This is more like a Mad Magazine spoof of the real movie, Prometheus.

This POS is positively ridiculous, for example:
- The scientists do not act or look like scientists. They did not know each other or know why they were on a Trillion dollar mission until they arrived on a strange planet? They all show absolutely no training for a space mission. The ship's Captain was more like a hip recording studio type of guy. Cartoons have better characters.
- Part of the crew was like Star Trek where you just see them walking around until they die.
- They approach a new, uncharted planet and fly right to the landing strip.
- And then the helmet thing... Anyone see the ending of "Mission to Mars"? SAME SCENE! "There is air in here, I'm going to take my helmet off - No don't!" Oh jeez...
- The big head, hieroglyphs - what does it all mean? More questions... Doesn't matter (Lost type stuff) as the story is unintelligible and Lindellof doesn't answer questions anyway. He just spikes the scenes with a lot of irrelevant clues to drive people crazy trying to figure it all out, but there will be no answers in the end - just more questions.
- I knew almost the entire movie from the trailers anyway. The beginning, middle and end. Just some details of little importance were missing. Low-class marketing.
I can't continue anymore. There are just too many things wrong with this horribly written, commercial, stereotypical, cliché-ridden, film.

The Devil Inside

Absolutely Terrible
11 January 2012
With the annoying way too shaky camera, the ridiculous fast-zoom ultra close-ups, and crazy angles I got the worst headache and left the theater within 20 minutes. At one point I was seeing a close-up of an actors neck instead of what could have been beautiful background shots of driving down the street in Rome. The camera man is clearly "non-intelligent" to the extreme, who's "technique" was so distracting, the film is impossible to watch. I sincerely hope this shaky cam stuff comes to an end as I personally can't stand it. It's also unfortunate this horrible release made more than a dime. If you like the idea of driving to a theater, paying cash, and getting yourself a head-banger - this is the film for you.
