Prometheus (2012) 8/10

Starring : Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, Logan Marshall-Green
Director : Ridley Scott
Running Time : 119 mins

A group of highly skilled scientists are sent on a mission to the farthest reaches of the universe when a series of apparent star maps are discovered, each from a different culture yet all strikingly similar. They land on a moon and discover an artificial structure that houses some incredible finds, including a giant statue of a humanoid head and the remains of some members of an alien race, but when they discover what the company who funded the expedition are really up to the crew find their very lives in great danger.

This is a very impressive prequel to the Alien series, no matter what some people have said. Many wanted this to be more like Aliens, but being like Alien is far more dramatic and far truer to the franchise. The suspense this manages to convey throughout the movie, and the realism of the characters (despite Rapace playing a Brit with a slight Swedish accent) makes this just as dramatic as any of the Alien movies. A must see for sci-fi fans with some great cinematography and impressive special effects.
