A Very Good Introduction to Alien

Rating: 9/10 (12 October 2012)

A lot of people were very disappointed in this movie. They didn't think that it lived up to its expectation, but then again what movie does? If you think about it a lot of movies don't live up to their hype, that's because we have mind set on how it should be and are disappointed on how it is. That's why I go into ALL movies with an open mind, even those directed by Paul W.S. Anderson.
Prometheus in my eyes is amazing film! Ridley Scott brings us a prequel to Alien that has barely anything to do with Alien. It is more in the Alien universe than anything and introduces another level of fear than what we had seen in the previous films.
We see familiar things from what we have seen in in the Alien films, especially in the deleted scenes (which in my mind many of them should have stayed in the original version). I wouldn't say it's scary like Alien but it sure is thrilling and exciting and a good welcome into the science fiction genre.
Do yourself a favor, go into this movie with an open mind. Don't go into it expecting what you want just watch it and I'm sure you will enjoy it better than most people did who had counted their eggs before they hatched, or so to speak.
