Prometheus

Prometheus  Rated R
Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and her boyfriend, Charlie Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green) are archaeologists who find ancient artworks from around the world. All of these have something in common, someone worshipping to the same exact galaxy. They discover a galaxy that looks like the one on these ancient drawings. In that galaxy there is a sun, just like ours, and a planet that is the perfect distance from the sun for human life. They believe that there is life on this planet and that the people on that planet created us. So they go onboard Prometheus (a spaceship) to find that planet. On board with them is David (Michael Fassbender), a robot, Janek (Idris Elba), the flyer, Meredith Vickers (Charlize Theron), the captain, and many more. One of the founders of the mission is Peter Weyland (Guy Pearce), a businessman who created David. He is instructing David to do different things for some sort of benefit of his. Soon they arrive at the planet and find that there definitely was human life there, but not anymore. All of the aliens they find are now dead. David, however, is more independent and goes to different places that Peter Weyland instructed him to, and he finds one possibly live alien. They David and Peter Weyland are secretly taking over.

Prometheus is extremely fun. It may not be flawless, but who cares? The point of Prometheus is to be on the edge of your seat while hugging your legs, not to see a perfect mind-bending movie. The visuals are amazing, and the landscape is unbelievable. The special effects are fantastic, and the acting (Notably Michael Fassbender and Noomi Rapace) is too. Some of the plot lines are unrealistic, but, hey, it's an alien movie. Being a fan of the original Alien I thought this was fantastic, but you have to really like watching aliens going into people's mouths, climbing out of their stomach, and wrapping their arms around them, suffocating the human. If you don't like watching that, then don't watch Prometheus, but if you do, then Prometheus is a must-see movie. To See: That is the answer.
