Good but not great

Rating: 7/10 (29 September 2012)

Prometheus is a very good science fiction film and is basically Alien 5. There is a new Ripley, a new Bishop and a new set of greedy characters from Weyland corporation. The special effects are gorgeous, and the ship designs are very interesting. Though, the film is still flawed and is not of the same degree of quality attained in the first two Aliens films. Though, overall, it is one of the best recent science fiction films, given that there hasn't been a classic in the genre since the 1990′s.
This film begins in pre-historical times when an unknown being dies from drinking some strange fluid. The film then goes to the 21st century and shows that cave drawings showing Aliens and stars have been discovered by archaeologists. The movie later shows that these drawings were enough to . By the late 21st century technology has progressed enough to allow us to send and expedition to the planetoid body that the ancient cave drawings refereed to.
The movie plays out like and adventure and is a very interesting. Though it leaves a lot of unanswered questions, reserved for the sequels. Recommended for science fiction fans.
