'Prometheus' A Review

'Prometheus' is a film about a space expedition that's trying to find out the origin of human creation. The movie starts with a humanoid looking creature drinking something, dissolving down to DNA into a waterfall. The DNA starts to reform and the movie begins. Implication being this was the origin of life on Earth, at least I took it that way.

Prometheus is the ship taking 17 crew members to a moon, that according to ancient cave paintings, is where this humanoid person came from. The movie raises some interesting question which it can't really answer. This may bother some people but how can they answer where we came from, who actually knows?

The stand out performance was by Michael Fassbender who plays an android. The rest of the cast does well but most of them have so little screen time to have any character development. The film isn't an action movie is a space thriller. Going into it expecting lots of explosions and monsters will leave you disappointed. Going into it expecting to be engaged and stimulated will yield better results.

See It.
