The fantastic Mr Scott does it again !

Rating: 10/10 (8 June 2012)

The biggest mystery surrounding Prometheus is not one of the many things that are answered or go unanswered in the movie. No, the biggest mystery are the negative reviews i've read.
Heres a movie trying its best to get thought provoking, adult themes back in the Summer season, to take something back for the adults. To accomplish , if the internet in general is any indication of opinion, the task of giving a viewing option to an adult weary of giant Robots, Wizards and "funny" Pirates.
Yet some reviewers seem to want to crush this intention before it has a chance to garner any momentum. I think the "Engineers" have us well figured out, (it'll make sense when you've seen the film).
OK, the movie. If you've not seen it, i'm not going to spoil it, so instead here come the adjectives: epic, intriguing, eerie, beautiful. The actors are all uniformly on top form, the script, if you are paying attention, explains and propels proceedings along at an appropriate pace.
The story will drop images and theories in you lap from time to time that may confuse, but when the film is over, these seemingly disparate elements, with a little discussion with your fellow viewers, will coalesce into a "ah-haa" moment.
This is where Prometheus really scores. I was sceptical of explanations to the questions i felt were best left ambiguous, but what Ridley and his team have done, is give you some answers and more questions. Your getting your cake and being allowed to eat it, heres your answers, but oh by the way, heres some more even larger questions to fuel endless debate between you and your friends on the way home.
This film is enormous in terms of physical scale and ideas, i've been twice already and will be going again, don't focus on Alien, control your expectations and this movie will take you unawares in the most entertaining way.
