The long game

Rating: 8/10 (13 September 2017)

I watched this and much like Prometheus, I didn't get it. I watched it again. Then I watched it with the directors commentary which led me back to Prometheus and now I am watching it yet again. What director Ridley Scott is doing here is playing the long game. He is not going for a blockbuster Hollywood hit. He is doing what movies and tales before movies were always meant to do. He is telling an epic story about creation and destruction as old as stories themselves. I believe I have it figured out but I must say I respect this director for going so deep and committing to such a long term project and delivering in all phases a story that touches on so many things so many can relate to. He is the story teller others will tell stories about. Thank you for your gifts to us mere mortals ;o)
