Ridley Scott's follow-up to 2012's Prometheus definitely looks to be a great addition to the mythos of the Alien franchise, tying the connections closer and also creating anticipation for a fifth main entry by Neill Blomkamp in the coming years. I loved Alien from 79. Then Cameron made a great sequel. Then went all downhill using Poo-Pourri from there. Prometheus was horrible, admit it. The story fell apart early and then I was just waiting for Theron to show us some,, you know, and then waiting for the stitches to come apart from the DoItYourself cesarean chic.
Obviously, the film hasn't come out here--and I'm only rating this quasi-prequel sequel 4 stars because I don't want this pre-review to seem any more presumptuous than any rating at this point will make it. However, I'm giving it a premature high rating because I believe 1) the first Prometheus didn't receive the full accolades it richly deserves and 2) the overall story arc is exceptionally thoughtful, Intelligent and imaginative--especially by contemporary cinematic (not just genre-specific) standards. I'm talking about fully dimensional characters; a sophisticated, well-written storyline and a visually inspiring feast. The greatest accolade I can note about this and indeed all Ridley Scott films is that their narrative depth always radiates with great intelligence and artistic genius, rather than merely trying to cheap-shot the audience as a trendy, commercial product that will be forgotten in a year or two.
The description of this movie is wrong. This is Prometheus 2 and the description is for "The Martian" with Matt Damon. Flixster, can you guys fix this, please? But this NEW film actually appears to have a new premise--A diverse crew, lands or crashes somewhere I can imagine, gets infected, and then the crew minus -1,-1,-1, etc. etc etc. What happened Mr. Scott, this WAS your brainchild?
