The best Sci-Fi horror movie in 20 years.

Rating: 8/10 (19 July 2012)

The past two decades have brought many extraordinary pieces of cinema to the world. But as technology builds and becomes more prominent, filmmakers seem less interested in creating an intellectual and pulling film. Rather today we have movies with little to no story and TONS of explosions. Science Fiction seems to be the biggest offended of this.
Rant aside, I sincerely believe that Prometheus is the movie that truly bridges the generation gap of Story Telling vs. Special Effects. The movie has everything from a dynamic storyline, to interesting characters, to fantastic music and superb special effects.
Prometheus (to me) is an amalgamation of the first two Alien movies. It combines Scott's original sense of suspense with Cameron's fast paced, in your face action. Immediately contradicting myself, I do believe the main issue with most people is that when they watch(ed) Prometheus, they were expecting Alien 5.
It's not, It was not meant to be!
The movie is not perfect, hence the 8/10 rating. But I do whole heartedly believe that the movie deserves a solid 8 based purely on the fact that it kept me interested the whole way through, and I didn't leave feeling more stupid than I already did going in!
