Movie Review: Prometheus

Brief Summary - A gutsy group of scientist and explorers travel to a distant moon seeking clues about the origin of mankind.

Rating - On a scale of 1 to 10 [10 being the highest] this ambitious film deserves an 8.

Movie Strengths - Stimulating plot, astounding special effects, an impressive cast; Noomi Rapace [from the original dutch movies the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy] is splendid! Who knew Charlize Theron could be such a convincing b*tch and Michael Fassbender as an android put Data [from StarTrek] to shame.

Movie Weaknesses - Viewers are left with too many questions and we will probably have to wait a year for a  sequel that may not offer any answers. Why can't directors make complete movies without leaving audiences with cliffhanger endings?  :(

Final Thoughts - Ridley Scott is BOSS! Although Prometheus seems like its a little ahead of its time both visually and theoretically, that's not necessarily a bad thing. If you are a Sci-Fi fan I grantee you will absolutely love the connections Prometheus makes to another famous Ridley Scott movies... hint hint the movie title begins with the letter A as in...A***ns...get it ?

  1. Aww, I thought you'd give it a 9. I just saw it on Saturday and it was AWESOME! But yeah, they do leave a lot of questions unanswered. By the way, IS it supposed to be a prequel of sorts to A***n?
