Random quote: "Swords, Lances, arrows, machine guns, and even high explosives have had far less power over the fates of nations than the typhus louse, the plague flea, and the yellow-fever mosquito. Civilizations have retreated from the plasmodium of malaria, and armies have crumbled into rabbles under the onslaught of cholera spirilla, or of dysentery and typhoid bacilli. Huge areas have been devastated by the trypanosome that travels on the wings of the tsetse fly, and generations have been harassed by the syphilis of a courtier. War and conquest and that herd existence which is an accompaniment of what we call civilization have merely set the stage for these more powerful agents of human tragedy." ― Hans Zinsser, Rats, Lice and History

So, what are the thoughts about this movie? I enjoyed the visual effects. But overall very disappointing. The reviews that best explains my exact sentiments, are with Locus:

I was a lot less disappointed in John Carter. I even enjoyed Men in Black III more than Prometheus.

I enjoyed it, overall. I just think that the writers tried to bite into some very large questions, and then choked on what they bit off. They asked some big questions, and answered those questions only with plot holes.

There were some intense scenes, though, including the medical bay/surgery scene.
