"Prometheus" is "Sci-Fi" at it's finest! "It's Thrilling, Chilling, Suspenseful, Intriguing and a bit Scary".
A discovery made by a team of explorers leads them in an all out search for how mankind came to exists on earth. They travel to an unknown part of the universe searching for life. What they do find is the beginning or is it the end? The story unfolds from there...
The cinematography is off the chain. The special effects are awesome. This is a must see in IMAX, but not necessarily in 3D. "Prometheus" is a Ridley Scott masterpiece. You will be reminded of the 1979 hit Sci-Fi Thriller "Alien" starring Sigourney Weaver.
If you are a "Sci-Fi" junkie then "Prometheus" is your movie.
Pros well paced, suspenseful, thrilling, intriguing
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The movie is okay on its own if there was no such thing as Alien. Unfortunately though, it feels more like a video game translation than an excellent Alien prequel. Characters and designs are flat, and there isn't a whole lot to add to it that the audience didn't already see in the trailer. Looks great on the IMAX screen, but the 3d didn't add much to the experience.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

I went to this movie with my boyfiend, not expecting to enjoy it. I was completely wrong! It was an amazing story with amazing special effects. I never found myself doubting the characters/story or the visuals. And I must say, IMAX 3D is an awesome experience as well!
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, not just a guy's movie! :)
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This movie is more of a mystery than a horror movie. There are no creatures running around killing people. But there are creatures, there are scary moments, and people do die. Just not like it happened in all of the Alien movies.
The crew goes looking for the answers to one mystery, and instead find something else, and the audience finds answers to events that happened before the movie "Alien" took place, including the "Space Jockey" and early Alien DNA.
I don't recommend movies unless I know the individual well enough, and since I am writing this to people I don't know, I just want to tell you enough so you don't get your expectations off from what the movie is (and isn't).
The film looks incredible, the actors do excellent work.
The dialogue doesn't explain everything you see, but it does provide many hints given as to why some things are happening, so you will have to do some thinking.
I think it is an excellent science fiction movie. Just don't expect another "Alien", or "Aliens", or any of the other Alien movies.
Also, there were two trailers shown on websites that do not appear in this movie. One is the interview with the Michael F. character, and the other is the scene with Guy Pearce.
I enjoyed it.
Ron
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
