Great prequel to the Alien franchise...

Rating: 10/10 (15 July 2012)

I liked this movie. I would like to see a second installment that tells what happens to the lead character, Shaw, in her continued quest. What new worlds does she discover, if any? What life forms does she meet? Are they "good" or "bad"? Does she get the answers she is looking for? Will she survive or will she die? Does David continue her quest should she die? In other words, will she survive long enough to get back home, or will she be able to send a message home before she perishes?The possibilities are endless. Set thirty years before Alien, this movie does well to explain the natural, yet sometimes dangerous, curiosity of mankind. In our quest to discover new things we sometimes act foolishly in that quest, hence the bringing of an alien head aboard ship, without following quarantine protocols, in order to discover whatever mysteries it may contain or taking off helmets in an alien environment based on the readings of machines, which may or may not be working properly. Remember they had been in stasis for 2 years. Those suits hadn't been used in all that time. Anyway, second movie for Prometheus, in my opinion, would greatly answer the question of what happens to Dr. Shaw.
