REVIEW OF PROMETHEUS




ABOUT THE MOVIE:
Prometheus is a 2012 science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott and written by Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof. The film 

stars Noomi RapaceMichael FassbenderGuy PearceIdris ElbaLogan Marshall-Green and Charlize Theron. Set in the late 21st century, the story centers on the crew of the spaceship Prometheus as they follow a star map discovered among the remnants of several ancient Earth cultures. Led to a distant world and an advanced civilization, the crew seeks the origins of humanity, but instead discovers a threat that could cause the extinction of the human race.


WHAT IS GOOD ABOUT THE MOVIE:

Ridley Scott set new standards for big sci-fi storytelling, this is jumbo-size science fiction, with a handsome, impermeable titanium gleam — and a thick coating of creationism lite; with actors such as  Michael FassbenderIdris ElbaLogan Marshall-Green (LOVE this cutie btw) and Charlize Theron, how could it not? The visual images were impressively polished and VERY pleasing to the eye. Prometheus teaches us that the gods must be crazy to 'create' us only to leave us without any knowledge of who they/we are. 

I TOTALLY feel Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) joy/pain as she   hoping to literally meet her maker. She was the surprising element of the movie that I found interesting, there was a scene where she under the harrowing surgical conditions that mark one of the movie's ick-factor high points. 
The other stand-out element of the movie for me was supercilious robot David (played by Michael Fassbender). David is a student of old movies, taking grooming and elocution cues from Peter O'Toole in Lawrence of Arabia.) His actions makes you ask yourself is he benevolent or malevolent? Nonetheless, I give Fassbender the movie's MVP award, he TOTALLY won me over.

WHAT IS BAD ABOUT THE MOVIE:
I have MANY unanswered questions about this movie and when I am contemplating them on my drive to the food store I know they can't go unanswered. I want to know about the engineers, why did David infect the good ole doctors, did he know what the outcome was going to be? Did God, or gods, or higher beings create humans, and are they messing with us still?


OVERALL GRADE:
A- (it will be an A+ when I get a sequel and some explanations)
