Prometheus Review

                          When it comes right down to the science fiction film genre there is only one god and his name is Ridley Scott. This weekend Mr. Scott, the man who brought the world Blade Runner and Alien, and writer/producer Damon Lindelof, one of the brilliant minds behind television's LOST,  have released the much hyped Prometheus. Surrounded by secrecy and speculation, fans lined up to see the sci-fi horror.
                       Set towards the end of the twenty-first century, Weyland Industries, the leader in new technology, has funded a voyage on their custom made ship, Prometheus, to the darkest corners of the universe. The crew, led by the science team of Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and Charlie Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green), is seeking answers about where humanity came from. At first the mission appears to be unsuccessful , but as usual with these types of movies, they are horribly, horribly wrong.
                      Prometheus has a few things really going for it, one of them being the brilliant acting job of Michael Fassbender as David, an artificially intelligent robot created by Weyland Industries. Michael Fassbender makes this movie, nobody else could have done the role better and there aren't a whole lot of fans of the film that would argue otherwise. The main problem with this movie is that there isn't a whole lot of time spent with all the characters, so naturally when they die it is hard to find reasons to care, and for that I blame the writers who raise too many big questions with not enough answers.
                     Watch this movie prepared to think. Prometheus raises a lot of questiions about humanity and faith, and for that I can respect Ridley Scott for what he was trying to do. It's not an amazing movie and definitely does not live up to it's hype, but it is entertaining and displays some really superb performances from the likes of Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace, Idris Elba, and Guy Pearce. I give it a B.
