A team of space explorers embarks on a fantastic voyage to the edge of the universe after making a profound discovery that hints at the true origins of the human race in this belated pseudo-prequel to director Ridley Scott's 1979 sci-fi classic Alien. Isle of Skye, Scotland: 2089. Archeologists Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and Charlie Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green) discover a cave drawing featuring a mysterious star pattern not found in our solar system. Upon comparing the image with similar other ones found at different archeological digs all over the planet, the pair realizes that they all match perfectly. They're convinced that the image is an invitation, and set out on a high tech Weyland Industries ship called Prometheus to - just maybe - unlock the mysteries of mankind's origins on Earth. Flash forward to Christmas Day, 2093. The crew of Prometheus awakens from stasis to learn they have arrived at their destination. With highly-intelligent android David (Michael Fassbinder) assisting the mission, and chilly Weyland representative Meredith Vickers (Charlize Theron) calling the shots, Captain Janet (Idris Elba) brings the ship down to the surface, landing next to a line of awe-inspiring structures that appear to have been built by intelligent beings. But when a small crew led by Elizabeth and Charlie explore the remote planet, the artifacts they find threaten to contradict everything mankind had been taught about its origins. But there's a secret in this chamber that's lain dormant for centuries, and now that it senses life, it finally sees an opportunity to escape. If it does, the trip that was supposed to answer al of our biggest questions about life could also be the one that seals the fate of every living creature on planet Earth. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

I am a big sci-fi buff but this movie was only so-so. A lot of the urgency in the plot was contrived in my opinion.

Overall, this script/movie kind of bit off more than it could chew. However, I liked it. My 11-year-old friend wasn't up for the more gruesome bits, so I don't think your kids should try to watch this one. (Rated R, I know.) Fassbinder is "fass"cinating, as always. Theron overacted, I thought. (Probably Ridley Scott's fault?). She is usually much more subtle than this. I, too, had no idea this was a prequel. Like to keep myself "fresh" and not watch trailers, read too much about what I want to see. Just knew that I'd like it. Do not understand how android "David" could be so much more advanced that the 'droid in Alien, but I guess suspension of disbelief engages on that score. Noomi is good. Can't go on too much, but think if you're a Sci-Fi fan, you'll like this. Great special effects.

An interesting pre-quel as prequels go. Seems Ridley. Excellent visuals and some definitely creepy moments though nothing compares to any of the original Alien films. Shows you how much a star (like Sigourney Weaver) can make or break a film. Worth a viewing but that's about it.

Loved it. Great movie and story. It seems that the android has a purpose of it's own. A little hard to follow but great Sci-Fi action.

A lot of this film takes place in darknress and it is hard to make out any movement on the screen. Why pay to see a movie if half of it is in a dark cave like place or darkened space ship. Did not care for this one at all.

I agree 100% with Sandra J. I enjoyed the movie but thought the Alien was much better with more action. This movie was a little bit on the slow side.

    Did anybody see "Star Wars"? The Story started in the middle. Prometheus starts at the beginning. Ridley Scott left room for 2 or 3 films just to get us caught up to his "Alien"! Heck, the Xenomorph has not even evolved in this space and time yet. If all you wanted to see was a Xenomorph, then I understand your dismay. However, Ridley Scott gives you the opportunity to use your mind. This is one of those great films that lets you go home and mull it over in your mind for a view days. I guess most of you were too young to see "2001 A Space Odyssey" at the theater in 1968.

    The beginning was not clear to me, but it was a decent sci-fi movie. I did not realize it was a prequel until I finally saw the creature...I simply thought it was a rip off of several other movies including Star Wars.
