I saw it today as well (got released today in the US) It was fairly good though I agree with the others it felt like two different movies at different points.It was definitely thought provoking for sure and the entire suggestion about the engineers was interesting.I thought that they left too many questions unanswered though.They really did not answer any questions.Also from what I have read from an art book about Alien by H.R. Giger and some of what Scott has said the "mound" thing and the engineer "facility" in earlier concepts of Alien they had some similar ideas so it seems at least to me as if Prometheus was not so much of a prequel as a different view of a similar concept.

I would say 7/10 fairly good but not perfect.

I wish they would have shown more how certain things progress though some things got cut before they came to fruition.It seemed very open to a sequel.

It also brings up many questions about the ship in Alien.How long had it been there and it had obviously eggs inside of it not the other kind of cargo seen in Prometheus.Which makes me think that it is not as old and must have left the source at a later date after the events in Prometheus.
