Prometheus

Rating: 14AGenre:  Sci-fiOpening Date: June 8th 2012Starring: Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize TheronDirector: Ridley ScottTaking place some 80 years in the future and about 50 years before Alien, Prometheus is about two archaeologists discover a similar planetary map in cave drawing and ancient artefacts from different unconnected civilizations thousands of years and miles apart. They visit the planet from the map in hopes of discovering mankind’s origins, but they soon learn that they are not alone on the planet and their hosts may not be friendliest species.Prometheus was excellent. Ridley Scott returns to the Alien universe with many of elements  that made the original so successful. It had suspense, so much that I could barely look away from the screen. It was visually stunning. I didn’t see it in 3D, but I kind of regret it now, it was THAT good! As for the acting, it was alright, Michael Fassbender was great as the android David, and no performances really stuck out as being really bad. Scott’s direction is what really stole the show though, he proves that he is still the king of Sci-fi horror, there really is no one who compares.                  There was one scene in which I saw smoking: It was when the captain comes out of his cryogenic sleep.There was only smoking in the movie for a minute and it did not add to the scene at all. I thought that the smoking was completely unnecessary.                  Overall, I give the movie a rating of 3/5. If there wasn’t smoking in the movie i would have  given it a 5/5. But since there was, I give it a 3 out of five.
