Prometheus Movie Trailer

What is this movie about? Prometheus is about two scientists, Elizabeth Shawd played by Noomi Rapace and Charlie Holloway played by Logan Marshal Green who discovers mysterious clues left with ancient cultures of earth that guide them to a distant planet for answers about the origins of human kind. Upon this finding a corporation decides to fund the project to unravel the truth suported by David played by Michael Fassbender and Meredith Vickers played by Charlize Theron.

The movie starts off slow and a tad bit confusing for you may wonder why know one was acquainted after the crew wakes up from deep sleep upon arriving to the planet. With a project this big, you would think some sort of orientation would have taken place to explain who you would being work with. But the crew was presented more like a last minute attempt. I guess I was OK with it, but a little bit confusing to see no one had any idea who was who.

When the crew starts exploring the planet they discover ruins with a network of tunnels to chambers laid out similar to the egg chambers in Aliens, except they are not eggs. This discovery begins a cycle of events that begin a chain of chaos and unravels the true reasons why the project was funded in the first place.

Cockpit scene in 'Prometheus'

As a fan of the Alien trilogy, except for movies 3 and 4. I noticed similarities to the ship design the scientists were exploring in Prometheus trailer to the ship in the movie Alien, especially the cockpit scenes in both movies. Both scenes presented a similar setting and design. Making me feel there was some sort of connection between the two movies. Upon watching this movie I was looking for answers as to how the two was related. I half to say, I wasn't to disappointed on what I found out. You just need to watch the movie to find your answers.

Overall, without spoiling the movie, its a thrill ride that leaves you with more questions and presents you with unknown and familiar alien encounters that ends up making you more curious. Ridley Scott and the cast delivered an entertaining and enjoyable mystery thriller that left me pondering over theories. One thing I was happy about was finding some closure regarding the alien creatures in the Alien Trilogy.

 I give Prometheus an Imp Score of 3 out 4 smiles (3 - Great entertainment worth watching!)
