Who Are We?

The Prometheus is a ship sent to make contact with a race of ancient aliens believed to be the "engineers" of humanity.  

The saga of the crew unfolds and begins to explain how the original "Alien" films came to hatch.

While exploring the distant world, the crew, and their idealistic dreams, become a horrific nightmare... Go figure.



I love prequels to good movies, especially if they're made by Ridley Scott.
I love movies that make you uncomfortable at times. I like the ones that make you think when you leave the theatre. The films that are still playing in your mind the next morning when you wake.
They leave you with so many unanswered questions, but you have to stay tuned...
Prometheus is one of those films.
This film has everything you'd expect from the Alien franchise:
The android.
The scruffy crew (in it for the money...)
Corporate greed.
An expendable crew.
Pride.
Sex.
Birth.
Death.
A resilient female who's survival instincts match that of the aliens.(Noomi Rapace is Sigourney Weaver TUFF!)
See a pattern here?
But wait!
There's also:
Ancient Aliens (Engineers).
Questions of our creation.
Questions of our doom.
Stephen Sills...
Charlize Theron. *purr*
Some badmutherfucking MONSTERS
and MORE! SO MUCH MORE!!!

Science Fiction and Horror together are a strong drink, my friends. Heavy.
A lot to SWALLOW here, that's for sure.
"Big things have small beginnings" says the resident android, David, I tend to agree with David because the next two films will be huge. This, however, was a set-up film to a much bigger universe.
I tell u what:
One shouldn't expect to understand Prometheus in one viewing, it's that good. Just my opinion.
Leave the young kids at home. It's rated R for nightmares.
I want to see it again, right now,  and the sequels, oh boy, don't even get me started...

Brave explores risk everything to get answers to mankind's biggest question, Who Are We?

Update: Notes from IMDB on the film. Good stuff.
