Prometheus

I think that your attitude towards this film will depend on your attitude towards SciFi. If you love the original Alien(s) films and think this should be a seamless match then sorry but you are in for a disappointment. If like me you were looking forward to Ridley Scott revisiting SciFi then I think that you are in for a treat. I'm not going to bother discussing the story as frankly if you want to know, you already will so instead onto the cinematography which is very pretty (in 2D) and the soundtrack which was well suited.

So on the cast, Noomi Rapace played a very Ripleyesque character very well, Michael Fassbender is brilliant though does suffer from the classic cinema problem of being more advanced that the character that came before him in 1979 (think the Star Trek reboot) and Idris Elba just make me man crush horny as usual. The rest of the cast did a good job though personally I felt that Charlize Theron could have done better with what was frankly a rather superfluous role.

As I said at the start your enjoyment of this film will really depend on your attitude, for me it was an 8/10 and one of the better films I've seen in quite a while. For others I could certainly understand a 6/10
