Ahh Ridley Scott you are one of the most interesting directors I have ever seen. At his greatest (
Alien, Blade Runner) he is unstoppable but when he is off his game he can get tiresome (
Legend, Robin Hood). Still he deserves to be considered the greats for his complete works but I vehemently adore what he did with
Alien. Perfectly combining science fiction with horror and giving us cinephiles one of greatest movies of all time! So now we come to
Prometheus as the creator returns to the world he made 33 years ago. I certainly was excited and the trailer that followed made my head explode a few times. Needless to say my expectations were high and I was hoping to see Scott in his top form once again. With a stellar cast including Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, and Idris Elba I thought that just maybe my expectations would become a reality. So how did
Prometheus turn out? Read on to see my thoughts...
Prometheus follows a space crew headed to a newly discovered planet that has shown signs that it can support life. The crew features two explores that have found ancient civilizations drawings that seem to be an invitation to this planet and hope to search the planet to find the great answers to life's big questions. As the crew lands, some of the members seemingly less trustworthy than others, they find an huge complex full of mysterious jars and unknown languages. As the search becomes deeper and the mystery starts to unravel, the danger increases putting everyone on the mission in severe danger. Will the crew of the Prometheus be able to survive? Will the answers be found? Go see the movie and then read my review to find out...
