Prometheus

Ridley Scott has made many good to great movies, (Gladiator) this is not one of them.
So the word on the street was that this was not an Alien movie prequel or it was. The bottom line is that it does not make a difference because this is not a good movie.
The story is about a team of explorers who 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.
There is not a lot of action until the 3rd act. For this movie I expected to see Special Effects and scenes that I have never seen before. That’s the essence of a great summer movie. Alas Prometheus fails in this category.
There are many “A” list actors involved (Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce, who I don’t remember seeing in the movie, and Idris Elba) in this project but none of them can fill the void left behind by Sigourney Weaver who played Ripley. Noomi Rapace tries but fails.

Verdict:
This movie should be called Propofol not Prometheus because halfway through it you are asleep.
Aliens 2 is still the best of the franchise.
