Prometheus


Prometheus
Genre: Sci-Fi
Rating: R
Cast: Naomi Price

Epic Rating: 7/10

   Director Ridley Scott returns to the Alien universe with a prequel: Prometheus. While the famous chest-bursting creatures never appear in the film, theres more than enough other things to scare you.
   Prometheus was intended to be a Prequel to the 1979 film Alien, but it could very well be it's own stand alone movie. It has some of the same Alien creatures, such as the "Space Jockey", but Prometheus introduces us to new, terrifying creatures.
   The plot is simple enough to follow, But at the same time, it is much bigger than the film. A team discovers alien marking all over Earth, and the venture out into space, where they find a planet hosting strange ruins. Unbeknownst to the team, their presence has activated a deadly toxin, which will kill any and all life.
   Prometheus was a good movie in my opinion. While basically retelling Alien with a twist, Ridley Scott manages to scare viewers time and time again. With a OK Cast and terrifying visual effects, I recommend seeing Prometheus very soon.
