Prometheus


Ridley Scott returns to the genre he helped define, creating an original science fiction epic set in the most dangerous corners of the universe. The film takes a team of scientists and explorers on a thrilling journey that will test their physical and mental limits and strand them on a distant world, where they will discover the answers to our most profound questions and to life's ultimate mystery.

This movie started off incredibly sci-fi.  I was doing nothing but thinking how wrongly advertised it was because they made it out to be like Aliens when it was a lot more like Alien.  It took a good hour (the first half of the movie) to get to the alien interaction stuff.  I wasn't bored because I like sci-fi stuff like this but the mainstream movie goer absolutely would be.  Once the alien stuff started - the movie picked up in pace tremendously.  It was creepy as hell and made you jump numerous times.  They had took enough time building up the characters so that you care what is happening to them.  It still got a little bit too sci fi for the average movie goer towards the end but it was a huge turn around from the beginning. 

I would definitely recommend this movie simply because the visuals throughout the movie are amazing.  Just be warned that it is not as actiony as advertised and it's much more of thinking man's movie.  I enjoyed it very much but was a little confused towards the end.  If not for that - I would probably be raving about this movie.
