Prometheus Review

After 30 Years, The long wait is over as Sir Ridley Scott has returned to the very genre he helped create, Science Fiction. Also making his return more anticipated, Mr. Scott is returning to one of the greatest franchises ever made, Alien. Prometheus has been in production for a very long time now (Since Alien vs. Predator was in production). So, The question on everybody's mind is; Can Prometheus live up to the fans expectations? I can happily say Yes it can.

Prometheus tells the story of a Spaceship crew that go in search of our creators entitled Engineers (Space Jockeys). They travel to a planet in a different galaxy by following an ancient set of co-ordinates on a star map. When they arrive at LV-223, They discover an ancient temple with a giant shrine, mysterious vases and Space Jockey Corpses however they soon realise their life dreams have become the stuff of nightmares and that if they can't stop the threat, Than Humanity may well indeed come to an end.

Prometheus definitley lives up to the expectations of many alien fans as it includes everything from Androids to Facehuggers to the Very First Xenomorph (Alien) to the Space Jockey and contains High octane Sci-Fi and Action with a few Jumpy parts for people with a nervous disposition. The film also doesn't disappoint when it comes to the cast which is one hell of a line-up including Noomi Rapace  (The Millenium Trilogy), Michael Fassbender (X-Men: First Class), Guy Pearce (The Hurt Locker), Idris Elba (THOR), Logan Marshall Green (Devil), Charlize Theron (Snow White & The Huntsman), Rafe Spall (Shaun of the Dead), Sean Harris (24 Hour Party People) & A Cameo apearance from Patrick Wilson (Insidious). As previously stated, Prometheus is phenommenal and definitley has plenty of gory scenes aswell as leaving the story open for a possible sequel. Absolutley fantastic and you would be stupid not to see this.*****
