| Alien Territory |
When watching "Prometheus", the words I had to put out of my mind were "Alien" and "answers". These were going to be the words that, if I let them in, would infect everything about the movie, and would hinder my enjoyment. What I got was a fascinating, if somewhat formulaic, sci-fi/horror film with a perfectly well-rounded cast, and stunning cinematography. Though I wouldn't put this film on the list near the first two "Alien" films, I would still consider this a worthwhile experience. Scott frames the story beautifully, making it more about the mission, and story, at hand than trying to answer all of the burning questions that the audience might have had for the past few decades (a faux pas that the "Star Wars" prequels, and last year's middling "X-Men: First Class", were guilty of).

First time I watched this was over at your place during the Aliens Marathon.
ReplyDeleteI found it to be a very good movie, standing on it's own two feet apart of the Aliens movies.
