Prometheus
Released: 01/06/2012
General release
Ridley Scott hasn't always been about sci-fi, but he certainly helped define the genre, with Blade Runner and Alien.

In a familiar universe, spaceship Prometheus follows a map to discover the origins of humanity - or might that be its end...?

Time Out“We were promised so much more...” It’s slick, gorgeously designed and scattered with intriguing concepts. But there’s just no real power behind it. The characters are thin and emotionless, the plot twists are predictable...

Empire“Like Alien’s poor relation... ” Following a star-chart discovered on ancient tablets, the crew of the ship Prometheus land upon LV-223, optimistic they are about to meet their makers. Unfortunately they will, and get a first-hand demonstration of their handiwork...

Total Film “Bricks up an epic new mythology... ” It might not pack the unbearable menace or blazing horror of the saga’s first two movies, but it utterly eclipses the last two. It’s exciting, tense and fully impregnated for sequels.
