Prometheus

So my dad decided to drag me to this movie last week and because I love him I went with him. It was one of the longest two hours of my life. I've never seen any of the previous Alien movies, as this is the prequel to them, and I'm glad I haven't. There were parts in the movie that made me look at my dad with the "you seriously brought me to this movie?" look on my face. He was even disappointed in it, especially with it being a Ridley Scott movie.

It is set in 2089 and is about two archaeologists who find the same image on walls at different archaeological sites throughout the world that date at different times. From 35,000 years ago to 3,000 years or so. They take it as a sign from "The Engineers", which is what they have chosen to call the race they believe left Earth behind after creating the human race, to come and find them. Idris Elba plays the captain of the ship that takes the archaeologists, along with other scientists from various fields, to the galaxy they believe the "Engineers" are from. Charlize Theron is the representative of the company that paid for the space travel. Guy Pierce plays Peter Weyland, an old man and owner of the company, who wants to know if this alien race created humans on Earth. Michael Fastbender's character was created by technology Weyland invented. There are some cringe worthy moments found throughout this movie and the rest of it is just ridiculous. If you want to give it a try I'd recommend you go the RedBox route before going out and buying it on DVD without seeing it.I definitely wouldn't recommend it to young kids. Not one of my favorites for sure.
