Is it Our Beginning or Our End

Rating: 7/10 (1 June 2012)

I must say I had high expectations for this, especially with all the hype and Virals/Trailers seen. I was not disappointed :).
So what to say about Prometheus. Yes it is prequel to Alien in the loosest sense, in that it is set in the same area of space. It starts off with information found about our so called creators on this planet via cave painting in Scotland of all places, which then leads them LV232(or something like that ;)) a planet a long way from Earth.
I don't want to give too much away. But as you may expect Alien life is encountered and not quite what was first thought. Are our creators also going to be our destroyers? You originally see the engineers (There title in this movie) briefly in the original alien movie (also known as Space Jockeys).
The acting in this movie is very good. Some have stated that not all the characters have enough information or build up about them. This may well be the case. But then in Alien was every character fleshed out before they died, No.
I thought Rapace was excellent in the lead role (Elizabeth Swan) as was Fassbender as David. As with most of these types of movies, don't expect many to survive.
For all the lovers of Aliens movies. There is a face hugger, but a lot different than you have seen before and H R Giger is involved, so you can guess the rest.
So does this match up to the original Alien Series. In my opinion it does. It may not be quite as good Alien and Aliens. But repeat viewing will be needed to fully appreciate this movie. It is amazingly shot and brilliantly directed as you may expect from Scott (Not counting Robin Hood).
It was definitely made to have a sequel. Which unless it doesn't make its money back surely has to be no brainer. I would say to anyone, go and watch it and it needs to be seen in the cinema at least once to appreciate it. I saw it in 3D and although not obtrusive as some 3D, I would not bother again, 2D is all that is needed. Enjoy
