film: Prometheus

Up to this point, I hadn't seen Prometheus mainly because I knew from rumors that I wouldn't like it, and didn't want to subject Jingping to something I knew she wouldn't like and that I wouldn't like.

I didn't like it. It was stupid and didn't make a lot of sense, and when it did make sense it wasn't interesting. It was a waste of time, and I hear it caused Guillermo del Toro to be unable to make At the Mountains of Madness. So, in fact, I hated it.

F+.

Game: Mass Effect Series

Great game series, better than any I've played in a long time. Great story, and as I see it, an incredible ending. Apparently the ending made some people angry, I don't really get it. You play the game as an invincible super-soldier, but you aren't a god. The enemy of the series really is presented as something unfathomably powerful, and defeating it takes a huge sacrifice. I thought it was a brave ending, very satisfying.

Overall great series: A+!
