OK - now it is rare that I 'rate' a movie- but this one is a CRACKER
I rarely see ANY movie ads and WANT to go to see it - especially the lame ar$e remakes and sequels that I am dead set sick of - as well as the movies with endless bang, shoot, bang , crash ( so called ) special effects that have been the same for 20 years - I mean how many ways can a car blow up and roll FFS
Then along comes Prometheus.
A stand out on its own type of film........YES it ties to Aliens , it HAS to ......it is set on the same planet that Nostromo was called down to in Alien and..........well I wont say any more about the Alien tie-ins at this stage , but they are there, subtle and not so subtle.
At LAST there is a film that goes deep into your head- making you think about selfishness, greed, religion, God etc .....and at the same time is full of BRILLIANT scenery , sets and a VERY different story with a number of scares thrown in along the way. There is an excellent 'operation' scene NOT for the squeamish as well as an outstanding scene in the main chamber of the 'corridors' they are exploring that shows a take on how the Universe may have come about
If you like Sci-Fi, if you like horror ( which this ISNT made to be ) and if you like something with a different story line and you enjoyed Alien then GO and see this film I say.
A MASSIVE thumbs up
Really glad you liked it mate, I find this film fascintaing but I am sucker for the corporate greed...religion..where are we where do we come from themes...so combining them with sci/fi and horror was a master stroke imo.
Yeah the operation scene is a cracker
Did you like the 3d?
