Searching for life on the outskirts of the universe.

Rating: 7/10 (2 December 2012)

Ridley Scott directs this masterful Sci-Fi adventure. In 2089 archeologists Elizabeth Shaw(Noomi Rapace)and Charlie Holoway(Logan Marshall-Green)discover cave drawings in Scotland that feature an alignment of stars of which don't match any pattern in our solar system. The drawings are very similar to ones discovered in other archaeological digs from around the world. Shaw and Holoway are certain they are dealing with an invitation to unlock the mysteries of man's origins on Earth. The two archeologists join a moderate size crew of scientists and engineers on a high tech ship called Prometheus to journey where no man has gone before.Weyland Industries, owners of the Prometheus, send representative Meredith Vickers(Charlize Theron)to supervise the trek. After landing on a remote planet, artifacts are found that appear to contradict what our species has thought of its origins. More discoveries will actually prove that the very future of mankind as we know it is at stake. Very imaginative special effects. PROMETHEUS runs 124 minutes and it is hard to find a dull moment. Also in the cast: Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce, Sean Harris and Idris Elba.
