Prometheus, a film review.

This film is part of the much-acclaimed Alien series, released in 2012, and featuring Charlize Theron & Idris Elba, it is a distinctly dark film, with a subject matter of intergalactic travel, and contact between civilizations. The plot takes a twist when a threat is discovered on a distant planet, and it is not fully understood. The crew discovers "engineers" and things go awry. In true horror fashion, much mayhem occurs, but after several gruesome scenes a ship manages to escape with the coordinates back to Earth. This film carries on in the H.R Geiger influenced Alien genre sci-fi. I generally avoid the horror genre but this film captivated my interest. It breaks convention, and leaves the viewer wondering about our place in the cosmos. I give this film a 5 out of 5.
