Product Description
Product Description
Ridley Scott, director of "Alien" and "Blade Runner," returns to the genre he helped define. With PROMETHEUS, he creates a groundbreaking mythology, in which a team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a thrilling journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.

You want an alien world created anew, with wonders and horrors lurking in its furrows? You go to Ridley Scott, of course, spectacle maker and pictorialist par excellence. So Prometheus is bound to be eye filling, with fully wrought planetary vistas and occasionally jaw-dropping visual coups. And did we use the word alien back there? Yes, folks, Prometheus is a prequel, in a sideways sort of fashion, to Scott's 1979 Alien original--or at least it's a long-distant stage setter for that story. This one begins with a space mission that could reveal the extraterrestrial roots of Earth, although what's buried out on the planet turns out to be much more complicated than expected. In the midst of suspenseful episodes (and a few contrived plot turns), Prometheus reaches for Big Answers to Big Questions, in a grand old sci-fi tradition. This lends the movie a hint of metaphysical energy, even if Scott's reach extends well, well beyond his grasp. The hokier moments are carried off with brio by Michael Fassbender (the robot on board), Charlize Theron, and Idris Elba, and then you've got Noomi Rapace entering the badass hall of fame for a long, oh-no-they-didn't sequence involving radical surgery, which might just induce the vapors in a few viewers. Even if Prometheus has its holes, the sheer size of the thing is exciting to be around. Because this movie is gigantic. --Robert Horton.
A team of scientists journey through the universe on the spaceship "Prometheus" on a voyage to investigate Alien life forms. The team of scientists becomes stranded on an Alien world, and as they struggle to survive it becomes clear that the horrors they experience are not just a threat to themselves, but to all of mankind. - WellardRockard
Synopsis
A team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.
Meet the Characters
Elizabeth Shaw View largerShaw, an archaeologist, discovers a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading her and a team of scientists and explorers on a thrilling journey, aboard the spaceship Prometheus, to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race. Shaw and her team aboard the Prometheus are on nothing less than a journey to discover answers to some of life’s most profound questions. She is a scientist filled with faith and hope, but who transforms into a warrior when faced with the danger she encounters at her destination.
Michael Fassbender as David View larger Michael Fassbender as David enjoyed a phenomenal run of critically acclaimed performances in 2011 and 2012, garnering numerous accolades and awards. The National Board of Review awarded Fassbender the Spotlight Award, and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association named him Best Actor for his performances in Shame and Davide Cronenberg’s drama A Dangerous Method, in which Fassbender plays Carl Jung opposite Keira Knightley and Viggo Mortensen. Fassbender was also recently seen in Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class, as Erik Lehnsherr, better known as super-villain Magneto; as Rochester in Cary Joji Fukunaga’s Jane Eyre; and as an assassin opposite Ewan McGregor and Gina Carano in Steven Soderbergh’s Haywire. Fassbender is a graduate of London's prestigious Drama Centre. His breakthrough role came as Sgt. Burton "Pat" Christenson in HBO's epic, award-winning miniseries Band of Brothers.
David is an android creation of Weyland Industries. While David possesses extraordinary intelligence and other capabilities, his principal tasks aboard the Prometheus are servile. David is however far more “human” than one might expect of a synthetic person. He is jealous and arrogant because he realizes that his knowledge is all-encompassing and therefore he is superior to the human crew members. David’s allegiances are unclear, and he can be very bold in the decisions he makes.
Meredith Vickers View larger Charlize Theron as Meredith Vickers demands the audience’s full attention as soon as she appears on screen. This South African captivated audiences as female serial killer Aileen Wuornos in the independent gem Monster. Charlize’s feature film debut was MGM’s 2 Days in the Valley, with Jeff Daniels. In 2001, Theron starred in the Warner Bros. tearjerker Sweet November alongside Keanu Reeves, as well as in Woody Allen’s Curse of the Jade Scorpion. In 2002 Theron starred opposite Patrick Swayze and Billy Bob Thornton in Waking Up in Reno, and opposite Kevin Bacon, Courtney Love, and Dakota Fanning in the feature film Trapped, directed by Luis Mandoki.
Vickers is a “suit” representing the interests of the mega-corporation funding the Prometheus’ journey to a distant, foreboding world. Her perspective on the mission is at odds with the rest of the crew’s. For Vickers, this epic, two-year journey to a distant planet has been boiled down to economics. But as with so much else about the mission, there are deeper layers and mysteries to Vickers’ ultimate goals.
Logan Marshall-Green as Charlie Holloway View larger Logan Marshall-Green as Charlie Holloway ) appeared on the big screen in Devil, produced by M. Night Shyamalan. He is best-known to film audiences for playing radical activist Paco in Julie Taymor’s Across the Universe. He has also co-starred in the films Brooklyn’s Finest, The Kindness of Strangers and The Great Raid. A graduate of New York University’s Tisch Graduate Acting Program and a prolific stage actor, Marshall-Green earned a Drama League nomination for his work in King Lear with Kevin Klein at the Public Theatre, and Greg Kotis' Pig Farm at the Roundabout Theatre off-Broadway. He earned Lortel Award nominations for his performances in Dog Sees God and Neil LaBute's The Distance from Here, the latter also earning him a Drama Desk Ensemble Award.
Holloway is Shaw’s partner, both personally and professionally, in a quest for answers to some of humanity’s most important questions. Like Shaw, Holloway is a scientist with a thirst for answers, but he thinks the end of their search will yield very different results from those Shaw expects. While Shaw is the heart of the search, Holloway is its guts. He is constantly pushing the envelope, going to the extreme in everything he does. He is driven by the thrill of the quest.

Now disappointments: SPOILERS AHEAD the story was confusing at points: 1) at one point David (Michael Fassbender), the artificial human, spikes Dr Holoway’s (Logan Marshall-Green) drink which will kill him but, apparently, not before allowing him to impregnate his partner, Dr Shaw (Noomi Rapace) with a truly horrid creature, which turns out to be the progenitor of the aliens in the movies of that series. Where did they get that technology? 2) Dr Shaw sees the ultrasound and promptly gives herself a Caesarian Section, after which she runs and jumps and, other than a few grunts and groans, is no worse for the wear. 3) the scientists lost in the pyramid find a new creature and promptly start ‘playing’ with it. Really? Really? What utter nonsense. And yes, it kills them and some others (I said there’d be spoilers). 4) Dr Shaw knows from sad experience that she cannot trust David, yet when he says he can fly the alien craft, she carries off his body and head (despite her recent C Section), with the suggestion that the two will be reunited, so that he can fly her off to some 'home world' where she is going to ask the aliens why they decided to eliminate humans. They were just responsible for savaging the entire crew, but she thinks she can get some answers from them (duh). And why would he not just fly her to earth when he's put back together, which he wanted to do?
I was also disappointed with the acting. I thought Noomi Rapace was terrific in the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series. She is not as good here - the role didn't suit her, IMO. Charlize Theron was not convincing at all. She’s pretty, which is poor praise for a movie star. Idris Elba did well, but he didn’t save the movie. The others were just good.
Overall, unless you are a huge Alien fan or a huge sci-fi fan, I don’t think this will be satisfying.
The only other modern Sci-Fi flick that captures Lovecraftian horror is "Event Horizon". A flawed but worthwhile view.
Humans are way, way down at the bottom of the soul pyramid. We have toiletized the only garden in this part of the universe capable of nourishing life. Our collective souls will be feasted upon throughout eternity for our folly. And no fairy-tale being can save you. Dig it.
(My 14-year-old son laughed at my complaints, because he tried to warn me about how bad the movie was; he was right).
With sci-fi, I feel like it's hit or miss. This film is a total failure.
With Charlize Theron and Michael Fassbender, what could go wrong?
This film concerns a starship crewed by 17 humans who are going to visit a moon of a distant planet that may contain the secret of "why we are here". They land successfully and begin to explore a huge artificial structure. Things start to go badly, of course.
This film is one of the best science fiction films ever made. The premise of determining humankind's origin is at the heart of the film. Many have wondered how primitive mankind could create megoliths and structures by moving stones weighing many tons without modern equipment. Some hypothesize that we are the progeny of a race that visited earth many millenia ago. This film takes it a step further.
The visual effects are excellent and some of the scenes are quite graphic. No nudity (although with Charlize in the film there should be!) but there is the usual obligatory vomit scene that is required by Hollywood these days.
Highly recommended and well worth your time. I'd give it at least more than 5 stars if I could.

It was shiny and I could see my face in it. It scared me. God I'm starting to look ugly.
I'm also getting board writing all these reviews. Who is paying me for all this?
Disk was in good order fitted through my letter box which pleased the postman not having to knock and talk to me.
The film played and the disk was not broken like the one it replaced.
Sadly this format is fast becoming obsolete so was interrogated by one of my sons as to why I had brought it.
I've no idea what he is talking about. This is still the future for me.
I recommend this film to people who may be slightly old and over-tired.
It arrived at the address provided so good service.
The strong central character of Elizabeth Shaw holds it together really. She is the new Ripley. Interesting to see the origins of how the Alien monster developed. If you’ve no knowledge of the other Aliens film or have no previous attachment, this could be a tough watch.
Splits the room this film, but I loved it. Great soundtrack too.
