Prometheus

Sci-Fi Action Thriller


 

A team of explorers journey to the corner of the universe to uncover the origins of mankind on Earth.

Intelligent in its use of imagination, this grandiose thriller explores the philosophical perils of human-kind and its tireless pursuit for answers. The bulk of "Prometheus" is epic, immersed in a visually stunning world and buoyed by stellar performances from both leads. Unfortunately, it eventually falls victim to its own brilliance, and fails to deliver on the building intensity it so creatively generates. Scenes of gore paying homage to the film's roots will appease some, but cannot mask the anti-climactic nature of its final hour, rendering it just a few DNA strands short of being complete.
