Breathtaking and profound

Rating: 10/10 (6 June 2012)

Please, do yourself a favour and ignore all of the haters regarding this movie. If you want a smash em up, loud and noisy action sci fi such as Aliens, this movie probably isn't for you. Don't get me wrong, you get a fair taste of that, but that isn't what this is about. This is a profound movie that asks questions about who we are, why are we here and who made us. It also tackles the human pursuit of finding our makers. The storyline involving David the droid needs special attention. This movie asks you to think and demands that you listen. You will need patience and the ability to concentrate. Oh, and after the credits start to roll and you still tell me this isn't a prequel or related to Alien, you need to have a serious hard look at yourself. This movie is in every way a prequel to/in same universe as Alien. In time, once the hype is over (and that's why this movie suffers so much, the hype has been massive, this will go down as one of Ridley Scotts finest moments and one of the best Sci Fi movies ever made.
