Prometheus
Big things have small beginnings indeed!
Prometheus is one of the greatest films of the year so far. Especially, if you are familiar with the Alien background of Ridley Scott. This is classic science fiction at its best. Ridley Scott gains back control over the studios that crucified the last two films in the Alien franchise (Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection). Joss Whedon couldn’t do anything to save Resurrection. All of the Alien movies go together but 3 to me is the weakest of the series. Resurrection is still really fun, and even shows the beginnings of River Tam (for you Firefly folks out there). But overall Prometheus to me is the best in the series. There is a gruesome C-Section scene that is meant to get a foreign element out of the body (hint: It’s a damn alien!). Charlize Theron plays an evil queen type of role (did she play the same role she play in Snow White and the Huntsman?). The android is slightly evil yet a really cool character. One of those you hate them and love them types. You get to see the beginning of the evolution of the aliens from Alien and a ship that is just like the one from the first Alien. The “Engineers” are pretty cool looking and pretty pissed off at humans for what they have evolved into. The Engineers are who created humans and aliens. The aliens of course were meant to be more of a weapon. I am curious as to who created the Predators. The Predators would’ve had a little more trouble with the giant elephant sized face hugger that is seen in this film. They do a great job of making the experience as unpleasant on the victim as possible. I’m not going to do a major play by play like in the past. After all, you still may not have seen the film! If you like classic sci-fi, liked the previous alien films, or are just looking for a great action packed space adventure. This movie is for you!
Final Rating: 5 out of 5 Bats
P.S. Congratulations to Prometheus for being the first 5 out
5 on the blog and one of the best movies of the year so far. The Avengers
(which I did not review) is the only movie so far this year that I think tops
Prometheus. The Avengers is off the scale crazy good and one of the greatest
movies of all time. Not seeing The Avengers should be considered a sin and as a
bounty hunter of sin I just might have to hunt you down…

P.S.S. I also want it to be noted, that by the end of the movie. I wanted to uppercut Charlize Theron's characted into the sun.
