The latest trend in Hollywood is "origin stories" and Prometheus does a fine job revealng "just enough" how H.R. Giger's Alien creatures came to be and just who created them. The "why?" humans and Alien creatures were created can also be seen as ambiguous, yet leaves room for another potential sequel. It's a cautionary tale that reminds us to "be careful what you ask for" scenario. It seems, in my view with regards to this story, that this super race of ET's created humans in their image with their DNA and further created the Alien creatures to destroy those human life forms and others, which aren't as perfect as they'd like them to be in the eyes of this super race of humans. You can even look at the Alien creature now as "a planet cleaner & people exterminator" whose purpose is to wipe out all life forms on any planet, so that another batch of humans can be created/planted all over again to retry this experiment whenever these beings are in the mood. It's a metaphor for our times concerning population control via whatever means a power structure might need to put forth a dysfunctional agenda with regards to disposing of people through environmental means, war, biological weapons, nuclear power, and more. This is also a unique science fiction story that pays homage to Alfred Hitchcock much like the orignal Alien movie did as well as James Camerons' "Aliens", which paid yet another indirect tribute to Hitchcock. One of the things that is supremely impressive is how from the original Alien movie we find out the role of "the space jockey" and just how that huge cockpit/telescope chair works when one of the E.T. 's is found to be still alive, who shows us what this phallic-looking machine does when it's used to power up the spaceship which is functional and one of many ET spaceships lying underneath those numerous pyramid-like structures, that is brought back from the original Alien movie helping to tell the story. Given that, just jump on the ride Prometheus provides and enjoy the film~!
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.
