Prometheus has finally arrived in theateres. The big question is: Is it a prequel to alien or not. Well, yes and no. Yes in that it takes place hundreds of years before the events of Alien, and no in that it doesn't feature the Xenomorph (Not for long at least). But Prometheus is still a awesome film regardless. Here is the plot: A bunch of scientist are sent to an uncharted planet to discover the origins of mankind, and end up uncovering something far more terrifying than they could've ever dreamed. I really don't want to spoil the plot. The script here is pretty good with a terrific narrative that has all sorts of twist and turns. Trust me, there are surprises in here that even I didn't expect. The dialouge here is very good and truly fleshes out the characters, molding them into people that we can root for. I didn't want any of these characters to die, though some obviously do. I don't know why some people are saying that they don't like these characters, I think that these characters are well written even if they sometimes do dumb crap. Which character I liked the best: it would be a tie between Charlize Theron's character and Michael Fassbender's character. Last but certainly not least, I would like to praise the film's visuals. It looks truly sci-fi-ish and gorgeous. The one problem that kind of irritated me was that it didn't truly answer any of the interesting questions it brought up. The mythology of this film is a fascinating that as soon as it was over, me and my friends wouldn't shut about about it for at least twenty minutes, I don't know about everyone else but I want to learn more about this film's universe. Prometheus is a welcome return to form for the entire sci-fi genre, and should be looked on in the future as a truly good film. Welcome back Ridley Scott, we missed you.
