Sir Ridley still the master!!

Rating: 8/10 (14 October 2012)

First off it annoys me that people think of this as a direct prequel to Alien, granted the use and explanation of the space jockey(Engineers),the abortion scene and the ending are in direct link to the Alien films but this is it's own story and set something like 30 years before the year the first Alien movie is set in. I think to have made another 'Alien' movie would have been the wrong decision as it's been seen far too much,the Alien vs Predator movies kinda killed the series so it's refreshing to see another take on the franchise,granted this movie has it's flaws but overall i thoroughly enjoyed it. The acting is good,fassbender and rapace are great as the leads,the story is refreshing and clever,and the direction and visuals are what we have come to expect from ridley scott- outstanding. I'm sure there will be a sequel to Prometheus that will answer more questions and bring the story to the same year and galaxy the first Alien movie is set in as this movie is set up for it. Overall a really good movie,not brilliant but very good,as a huge fan of the first 2 Alien movies i really enjoyed this and have since purchased it on Blu-ray. 'Big things have small beginnings"
