Before getting into detail about this film, I'll like to say that if you are a fan of the original "Alien" and expect a similar style film because is Ridley Scott directing. Then you need to stick with the classic 1970's film because you won't find it here. "Prometheus" is an entire new film with very few similarities to the 70's classic in terms of style. The story focus more on the begininng of the alien race and creates an introduction into a more expanded story. For many people this is a Prequel to "Alien", but for me this a prequel of a prequel to "Alien". In other words I see "Prometheus" as the introduction to a story that really goes beyond what I saw in the film. Many people have given negative comments about the film, but either they expected a total copy of the original or didn't understand the concept of the story plain and simple. At the end of the day, Prometheus is a smart and entertaining Sci-Fi/Adventure/Thriller that really creates a total new beginning to a very recognizable franchise that needed a new sense of direction. With great SFX and a great acting from Michael Fassbender and Idris Elba, Prometheus is a film I definately recommend for 1. The smart movie fan and 2. the Sci-Fi/Thriller and "Alien" franchise fan that can actually accept fresh ideas.
