Ridley's sweeping epic

Rating: Null/10 (17 December 2018)

What can I say about Prometheus? As a science fiction stand alone film it is a definitely better than most films in its category but then that is a given with the huge budget and Ridley Scott behind the camera. As part of the Alien canon however it might be a bit more complex. Alien fanboys might get offended with where Scott has taken the story and the entire bit with the space engineers will elicit opinion on the extremes. Visually the film is stunning and some scenes are truly awe inspiring. The film has a feel and tone which is expansive. Scott, perhaps nearing old age wants to find the bigger questions to life and uses his film as a springboard to question it. There is no point comparing this film to Alien or even other films of the series simply because the approach is different. If you enjoy science fiction films you will certainly have an opinion on Prometheus.
