Ridley's Big Comeback

Rating: 9/10 (20 June 2012)

Prometheus, where do I even begin for Christ's sake? I loved it. Although it gives us the questions that we want to be given the answers, they did not answer all of them that well, so I for my perspective there will be a sequel with all of that, but that doesn't matter, what matters is that Mr. Scott got back together with space, ships and aliens and he's done a terrific job, I'm serious, you know how much I liked it? I have doubts if Alien or even Aliens is better than Prometheus. That much. Prometheus has a terrific cast, this movie is full of amazing stars, the special effects are breath taking, the soundtrack is amazing and the premise and the story is brilliant genius, so by this I mean that the next time we'll see Prometheus will not be in a sequel, Prometheus, we'll see you at next year's Oscars. Prometheus was also scary, it had Alien(s) scare-caliber and it also had some gross-out scenes, but hey, this is Alien style, right? Sow, go watch it, if you loved Alien and Aliens you watch this right now and don't you dare to download it, it's not just an insult to all the work it was necessary to make Prometheus, you just have to watch it in a theater, cause not even a Blu-ray will give you half the feeling of watching in a theater, hearing the sounds, watching the sets and don't forget the 3D experience, which is just unforgettable, it was well used and it satisfied a lot, oh, and don't forget the fact that almost everyone went to see Alien or Aliens when it was young, so going to watch Prometheus is like a journey to the past with a little bit of future involved. It's so good, that I admit that Prometheus is the 3rd best movie of all time, trust me.
Ridley Scott is genius, his directing was marvelous, he's always amazing with movies, Blade Runner, Alien and Gladiatior showed that his brilliant and Prometheus shows how further he can go directing movies. Nommi Rapace takes the lead, I loved her performance, she was kind of this movie's Ripley and she also had Weaver's acting-caliber, she was truly amazing and I'm super glad they dragged her to Hollywood, she started with a foreign language movie, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, than they brought her to Sherlock Holme's sequel and than she worked her way to the top, she's now in a Ridley Scott directed movie that develops in Alien's same universe. Overall, I truly loved her performance, Noomi is the best. Michael Fassbender is spectacular, he was by far the best played artificial person/robot int the whole Alien saga and including Prometheus, he was excellent and Prometheus showed me that Fass will go far too fast. Charlize Theron had an okay performance, that's all. Idris Elba was fantastic, I loved his role as the captain of the ship, he was amazing and he played a fantastic character. Logan Marshall-Green was great too, I've seen him before and know I definitely know that he's a great actor, his performance was great.
2000's 80's. Elizabeth Shaw (Rapace) and (Marshall-Green) is a married scientist couple. When they find some clues about how we were created, they get a ship with a good crew and fly to space so the experience can be done. Most of the crew after 2 years sleeping in the ship finally wakes up because of the arrival to the destination. Jerkan (Elba) is the captain of the ship, Meredith Vickers (Theron) is the arrogant person in charge of the experiment, David is the robot, nearly a person that serves many requests, and the rest of the crew is completed by the Shaw's, Fifeild, Milburn, Ford and Ravel. When the expedition begins, everything starts to go bad and what was supposed to be the search for our beginning, could lead to our end. But will they find the answers of these questions. How were we created? When do we go when we die? They'll try to get those answers, but they'll soon try not too die.
The story is genius. It has some fantastic twists and it has some brilliant happenings. The characterization is also amazing, it's like echoed some actors with Alien's character's egos and it has a few big similarities to Alien, like the slow beginning, but later they finally 'take off' and we have a hell of movie with big thrills, scares and much more. But one of the highlights of Prometheus is the premise about those amazing questions that everyone would like to get the answer but it can't, and although there's many questions unanswered that I though it were going to be answered, in my opinion, will soon be answered, I hope so, by a possible sequel of Prometheus. And now, changing subject, I say it again, Prometheus is not an Alien prequel at all, it even ocurres years before Alien's happenings, I've seen many people thinking that, but it's not, they just share kind of the same universe and some similarities.
10/10
