Prometheus

This was the last film i saw, me and the girlfriend went to see it at the cinema. I was really excited as it was a 'prequel' to the alien films but she's never seen any of the alien films. Now she can't wait to watch them all with me when i get my blu-ray set for my birthday so it must be a good film if it can grab her attention and make her want to see the rest of the tale.

Overall the film was great, the graphics were amazing as to be expected for a big film like this and the story took some very different turns from what i was expecting, though i will try not to ruin anything for those who haven't seen it yet. The alien designs were not quite what i expected from the other films although good in their own regard. The final scene pulled it all together for me pesonally though. This is a good film i could easily recommend, even to those who have no previous knowledge of the alien franchise as being a 'prequel' the story is setting itself rather than relying on you to have any prior knowledge to understand most of what is going on. I did however find that knowing the back story from the other films helped me figure things out alot quicker than i may have done otherwise.

I give Prometheus a 9/10 simply because as amazing as the film was, and trust me it was, i found it too slow in the first half, too fast in the second half where some points seemed to rush by when i would of preferred a little more explanation into them perhaps. oh well here is hoping for more Alien films ^.^
