DCRJ's Movie Reviews : PROMETHEUS (2012)

We saw PROMETHEUS (2012) in 3D at SM MOA June 9, 2012 Saturday. First, let me tell you this...it's a PREQUEL of Ridley Scott's ALIEN (1979). Highly entertaining with its visual grandeur of extraterrestrial planet along with the same horrific elements seen in earlier 'Alien' films. Silly premise that humans were 'engineered' or created, not by God but, by humanoid-like species from a distant planet. Yet still the film has a top-notched production and magnificent performance by Michael Fassbender (the young Magneto of X-Men Origins) as the android David. Charlize Theron still looks and acts like the evil queen Ravena in Snow White & The Huntsman but the real gem came from Noomi Rapace (Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) as a vulnerable but tough space explorer whose character reminded me of Sigourney Weaver's Ripley in Alien I, II and III. Movie sci-fi at its best. One of Ridley Scott's finest. My ratings: 5 out of 5 Biscuits !
