Your mind will fly if you are an Alien fan

Rating: 10/10 (8 June 2012)

I'm still reeling from the screening I just got out of. The audience was filled wit big time Alien fans all ready for something that I am sure we've all waited for years to see. For an hour now I've debated doing a video review or a blog, but I'll jot my ideas down here.
I enjoyed the experience of Prometheus. It has some great archetypal characters and some astounding action sequences. I really don't want to mention anything about plot, scenes or major beats. but i do want to advise fans of Alien to go see this film. If you've got Ridley Scotts original masterpiece engrained in your head you'll easily be having butterflies in your stomach and zillions of thoughts going through your head. There will be scenes where you are paying extremely close attention to details in every frame, if not for the duration of the entire film. The actors provide a great performance and all serve their roles respectively, if not exceeding their duties. There's loads of throwbacks to the originals, but trust me at not point are they thrown in your face like "The Thing" prequel. The one key point I can make is that there are several "Holy ****" moments where you will laugh the phrase simply by being overwhelmed with a tremendous circumstance happening on screen, be it horrifyingly scary or simply tense and deep.
There's masses of people who just hated the film, thought it was a disappointment or didn't tie up the franchise and the questions. All I can say finally is that i did enjoy it, especially the experience of seeing a childhood favorite fleshed out and experience a universe that i have loved for ages.
