Rating: 8/10 (2 November 2019)

Prometheus begins in the year 2089, when an archaeological crew discovers cave paintings in the Isle Of Skye, Scotland.This crew is led by Elizabeth Shaw(Naomi Rapace)and her husband Charles Holloway( Logan Marshall Greene).
It is now the year 2093, and the scientific vessel Prometheus with her crew of 17 are headed to LV223. Among them is David( Micheal Fassbender), An Android, that Peter Weyland( Guy Pierce) created. Even though he is an android, he is strange; because he has emotional response. When the crew wakes from a long hyper-sleep they are greeted by Meredith Vicker's, Weyland 's daughter. She hired some of the crew herself. Among them are biologist(Mulburn), a geologist( fifield), security, Archologist( Shaw & Halloway), and flight crew. After waking and having dinner they are getting ready to set down and watch a presentation. The presentation is a two years old from Peter Weyland( Guy Pierce) who in 2091 the time was a centenarian; and now has passed. He explains more about their upcoming expedition. He has sent this crew of 17 to find humanities origins; and to find who actually created us. Afterwards Shaw and Halloway give their presentation on these cave paintings they found in 89; and compare them to other cultures from the past. Shaw believe these paintings are invitations from aliens they call Engineers.
When they arrive on the moon LV223 it is very desolate, but discover something that looks like a cave. The crew gets a survey team together, so they can explore this find. Shaw, Holloway,David, Mulburn and Fiffield suit up and get ready to go. When they get there, Fiffield begins to map the structure with these survey balls. The data is sent back two the Prometheus so they can view their progress. While exploring they find out the cave is hollow, and it has an atmosphere. While the others are exploring, David finds a wall with symbols on it and opens up a archive hologram. The hologram shows these Alien Engineers running from something. These Engineers are a large breed, very muscular, and approximately 7.5 feet tall or larger. When they continue their trek, Shaw finds a fossilized Engineer that's been decapitated. It is approximately 2,000 yrs old. Fiffield and Mulburn decide they have had enough they are going back to the ship When the rest of the team continues they find a door, it opens; and numerous canisters are found with black organic ooze coming from them. Capt. Yanak ( Idris Elba) informs the crew they need to head back to the ship. Yanak has been informed a storm is coming. When they return they barely make it back due to this fast moving system. When they arrive at The Prometheus, Shaw has this head they found examined. When they examine it they discover it's not an exoskeleton. It is some type of helmet these Engineers use. All of a sudden Shaw realizes that Fifified and Mulburn have not returned and are stuck in the cave until the storm passes.
After this odd discovery on LV223 the crew of The Prometheus realize these Engineers are visitors just they are. Back on the ship David does an experiment involving Holloway and Shaw, with the organic material he found while out surveying with the others. David meets Holloway in a rec room, and with out him noticing drops it into his drink.
Mulburn and Fiffield are still at the site, they come upon the room with the metal canisters. This time they are really oozing black material out of them. When they look around they find snake like creatures approaching them. These creatures seem like the primitive form of A FACEHUGGER. They enter Mulburn and Fiffield's body though their mouth. They are contaminated with this alien ooze just like Holloway is. After this happens they call for help. When Yank and other's try to rescue them and take them back to ship they begin to change along with Holloway. Vicker's refuses to let them board, they are contaminated; their bodies begin to morph into some kind of creature and then die.
Shaw was one of the rescuer's and has to go through a bio-scan to see if she was contaminated. It negative on being contaminated, but she finds out she is pregnant. This is impossible because she is supposedly barren. David tell's her this is not an ordinary fetus and Shaw what's it gone. David has other plans she is to be frozen and returned to Earth for further study. When she is about to enter Cryo freeze, she fights herself free. She finds the nearest med-pod, performs abdominal surgery and removes it. It is some kind of squid like creature. THIS IS THE SECOND STAGE OF A PRIMITIVE FACEHUGGER.
When Shaw finds Weyland had been hidden on the ship since the beginning , she's shocked. Weyland came to meet his makers, The Engineers. Shaw, David, Weyland, and other's return to the cave and find out it is really a ship. They find out these beings were headed to Earth to destroy it, with these biological weapons they started on LV223. The weapons are the material they found in those canisters, but something went wrong and it destroyed them. While there they also find an Engineer that managed to survive. When the being becomes hostile and turns on them, Shaw and Vicker's manage to escape.When Vicker's escapes she find Prometheus's life pod, but it end's up crashing. Shaw is lucky she has escaped, but in order to escape the planet she needs David's help. David tells her there are other ship's like this one and he know's how to operate them. She collects David's head and leaves.When the Prometheus begins to leave, Yanak tells Shaw what he is planing. He along with the other flight crew plan to do a Kamikaze with the other ship so it can be destroy with that stuff on it. Shaw not realizing the Engineer has escaped using a pod he follows her.
When Shaw realizes she has 2 minutes of O2 left She returns to Vicker's Escape pod. There she discovers the creature she removed from and it survived,it is now six times the size. It fastens itself to the Engineer that followed her. She and David are on their way to another ship like the one they found. Shaw explains to David she wants to find out were these Engineer's are from and forgo returning to earth. She sends a message back two Earth telling them not to come to LV223. In the end a Xenomorph emerges from The Engineer's body. This is the beginning of it's rein of terror. A great movie, I can't understand why a lot of people disliked it
