One word, genius.

Rating: 10/10 (4 September 2012)

Many people felt disappointed by the fact that Prometheus wasn't much of an alien movie. That's the entire point, the film does not portray the alien as the main antagonist because it's not! This film is excellent, a phenomenal prequel that still leaves many unanswered questions at the end. The music is mysterious and beautiful, complimenting Jerry Goldsmith's original score. The acting is great, Michael Fassbender in particular plays a very believable android, unsure of his purpose in life. Noomi Rapace also does an excellent job as the films main protagonist. The writing is underrated Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof deliver a solid script with a complex yet effective story. The visual effects are mind blowing, filled with beautiful imagery and impressive spacecrafts. And finally, Ridley Scott delivers the final blow. Scott's vision and suspense make the film what it is, genius. This film is excellent from beginning to end, well worth watching more than once.
