The titan got his just deserve from Zeus and now, the audiences

Rating: 6/10 (9 October 2012)

Rarely, perhaps maybe just this once, will you find a Ridley Scott movie among my negative reviews; so it pains me to do so. If you don't' enjoy movies with 'creepy-crawlies' and the likes of such creatures, or any creature you wouldn't care to pet affectionately, like the Alien, you probably won't score this movie very high. That is exactly why I did not. Otherwise, the film is a splendid metaphor for the famous Greek mythology of Prometheus. The special effects (all that don't have to do with the damned 'creepy-crawlies') are very well done and one in particular when the robot David, played rather well by Michael Fassbender, gazes at the 3D reproduction of the creation of the universe, will blow your mind. I had to look up the verb gazing to make sure it was possible for a robot to do such a thing; turns out one of the Oxford dictionary' definition does not exclude that. Okay Mr. Scott I see you knew the answer to that one and I can fault you just on the creatures you like so much. On the plus side, get ready to pause and rewind that one scene, now that it comes out on Blue Ray today.
A cast that include a few of my movie idols, Theron, Rapace, Pierce and recently Elba, was my second reason for going to see the movie; the first as you may have guessed was that it's a Ridley Scott movie. The critics and many user reviews depicted the storyline and specifically the coined notion 'It's a prequel to Aliens' were correct, as far as it goes. I was not disappointed because I was well warned; I did not smile or grin with too much satisfaction either. And so it goes.
