Prometheus
Prometheus,
the name of the God who brought men fire. Here the name of the ship
that transported a team of 17 to their doom. As the prequel to the
Aliens Series of Movies it would seem it is possible to do the movie
without Sigourney Weaver to play Ripley, there's an entirely new crew
here. As a science fiction horror movie this lacks the suspense and
intensity of the originals. We know pretty well what to expect. As a
metaphor for science over-reaching itself and bringing apocalypse
upon itself mission accomplished. For science fiction buffs a decent
time-waster but great film making.
