An Intelligent Return To Science Fiction

Rating: 10/10 (12 June 2012)

While there are indeed some moments in the film that make you want to shout at the screen and say, "Don't do that!" Prometheus manages to be one of the most intelligent science fiction films made since Duncan Jones's, "Moon," and Christopher Nolan's, "Inception." The film is a brilliantly executed 3D masterpiece, with sets that will undoubtedly inspire film-makers and movie-goers for years to come, and a story that not only intrigues, but leaves one terrified and squirming on the edge of their seat during some of the most horrific scenes I've ever seen done in a suspense/ sci-fi film. Just like Scott's, "Alien," the movie has an incredible sense of mystery blended perfectly with just enough terror and suspense to leave one begging for a sequel. "Prometheus," also deals with concepts that haven't been touched since the likes of Stanley Kubrick's, "2001, A Space Odyssey." So for anyone seeking a good thrill, and an intelligent science fiction movie, this one is a must see, and could not have been done any better.
