Ridley's Riddles.

Rating: 8/10 (24 September 2012)

After watching Alien, in the cinema, just after my 20th birthday - in 1979, I remember thinking 'that's the best science-fiction movie I've ever seen'.
Since then, I always wondered... The fossilised being?, lounging on a half bed-half chair with a telescope attached - Where was the being from? Where was it going? Why was it carrying such an unstable, lethal cargo?
After watching Prometheus I have the answers to two of those questions, now I still have to wait to discover where the being, and man, was originally from - according to Ridley.
Prometheus is good (not great)with acceptable special effects, and Michael Fassbender (as David), is Prometheus's best actor & character, with a great line in the movie - "I didn't think you had it in you".
That 'line' made me think back to Kane (John Hurt), and probably, the best movie in science-fiction history.
5/10
