Prometheus - A Movie Viewers Review

Rating: 8/10 (6 June 2012)

Prometheus is not for action lovers, it is for Sci Fi lovers. In 2093, a team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a journey to the darkest corners of the universe. From then on is when the suspense starts. There is no scene in the movie that is unrelenting gore, yet there is enough gore to keep you enthused in the plot.
Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) is part of the team and it seems like she is the most focused on in the movie, well besides David (Michael Fassbender). It starts off as a solid movie, an abnormally large white creature drinks a liquid and within five seconds it wipes him from existence killing his DNA and then basically deleting his body. After that, it starts up with Prometheus, the ship that the explorers are in, and are on the way to this unknown planet because of a sign from a painting in a cave stating that there are other creature existences on that planet.
The Visual Effects are outstanding and magnificent, pretty much just as good as Avatar (2009). The story is decent and the main characters are story driven. The other crew seem like they're just in the movie to get killed.
Charlize Theron does an outstanding performance as the captain of Prometheus. She is very uptight and strict with the rules, especially when a character loses his mind.
I experienced Prometheus in 2D so I don't know what it's like in 3D but I am hoping to read great things about the visuals in 3D in the future.
Ridley Scott could have made all characters have actual back stories but chose to slack off in that department of the story so that is why I only gave Prometheus 8/10.
