Prometheus: Simple. Brilliant.

Rating: 10/10 (9 June 2012)

Only 7.8/10? This film deserves a lot more.
I watched Prometheus today. Set in the last decade of this century and in the Alien universe, it is a film about a group of explorers who set out on an expedition into space on a ship called Prometheus to discover the origin of human kind. But when they reach their destination, they discover something really dangerous not only to them but to the entire human kind.
This movie is scientific fiction at its best. Dark, adventurous, horrific and highly creative, it is a signature Ridley Scott movie, highly reminiscent of Alien (naturally, as it is happening in the same universe). There aren't any absolutely unforeseen plot twists, but the magnificence of the movie and the way it is filmed will keep you rooted to the edge of your seat. The story is plain and simple, there are certain scenes where you'll know what's gonna happen but one must understand the film is not about complex plot twists. It is pure sci-fi, a captivating story brilliantly told. And also, there is a big surprise waiting for you at the end.
If you are not a hard core sci-fi fan, there is a chance you might not like this movie. If you are, you will find that this is one of the best sci-fi movies in recent times. There are some questions left unanswered, certain scenes which require more explanation, but hopefully they'll be cleared in the extended cut or a sequel. But in either case, rest assured that the film would have left some sort of impression on you when you leave the theater. It would definitely make you think.
So, overall, is it worth the money? Yes. Go watch Prometheus. The 3D is really good too, though there are not many scenes where you'll find the effectiveness of the 3D. But you'll definitely not be disappointed.
