  • Prometheus is a visually stunning and deeply philosophical film that stands out for its exploration of humanity’s origins and existential questions.


    The film doesn’t just rely on spectacle—it delves into heavy themes like creation, the purpose of existence, and the quest for knowledge. Its intellectual depth challenges audiences to ponder these questions long after the credits roll. For those who ire thought-provoking sci-fi, Prometheus offers a rich narrative that stands on its own, deserving of its own unique storyline, as its concepts go far beyond its connection to the Alien universe.

  • It's commendable that Ridley Scott took the Alien franchise in such a drastically different direction. Prometheus is compelling prequel that features one of the best characters in modern day sci-fi, the android David. What if God was real and he hated us, is a fascinating concept and Scott should get the opportunity to finish out his prequel trilogy.

  • As a major fan of the Alien filmography, Prometheus was and is everything I could have hoped for as a prequel! To finally see and get a glimpse into the history of the “engineers” and the possible reasons for deg the alien creature and to witness their callous opinion of our species that they created…. did not disappoint…kudos…

  • Prometheus could have been a stronger film, I feel a lack of time seeing the cast interact like the crews of the Nostromo and Sulaco did failed to get me as attached to the Prometheus' crew as I should have before things went to goop, but it stands as a strong, suspenseful chapter of the Alien saga, that sadly lost its way and never got to tell its final act.

Regardless of the connections to the Alien universe, Ridley Scott's Prometheus is a welcome return to form for the director.
