Prometheus

Just imagine,

A theory- the relics of various religious sects excavated at different locations on earth pointing towards the ‘creators’ of human beings! This theory proposed by Dr. Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) & her partner Logan Marshall-green takes them along with 15 other people & an android named David (Michael Fassbender) on a scientific expedition far away from planet Earth!

What would you do if you knew who the creators of human beings were? What would you ask them? Why were you created? What is the purpose of human life? How strong is your faith in ‘god’? What if we were created as an ‘experiment’ or by accident or just because the creators could create? Grappling with these questions the scientists uncover the hidden agenda of the creators- sometimes it is important to destroy in order to be able to create- the ‘aliens’ are going to wage a biological war on us! On earth! Our search for our begning could lead to our end!

Would Elizabeth’s faith waver when she comes face to face with her creators? How would the ‘homo sapiens’ survive the hostile conditions & biological dangers? Will the scientists be able to stop the imminent war- given that they are on ET- enemy territory already?

The script is average- mostly loose ended, there is also criminal waste of talent- Guy Pearce , Charlize Theron, Idris Elba & Logan Marshall-Green are all underutilised! But the movie does have its share of creepy ecstasies, oppressive design, grubby looking aliens & gooey mucus everywhere! Noomi Rapace & Michael Fassbender are the star performers- watch the movie for their performances!

It is sci-fi thriller that raises more questions than it answers. If you enjoy unfastened stories that make you think, then you may enjoy the movie. DO NOT compare it with ‘alien’ and you shall not be disappointed.

“the trick, my friend, is not minding that it doesn’t answer all your questions!”
