This film is a prequel to the Alien franchise. Two scientists, Elizabeth Shaw and Charlie Holloway, discover similar drawings all over the Earth. This pulls them to follow suit, with the help of Weyland Corporations, and try to discover an alien race that may have possibly created humanity. This leads them to some of the darkest discoveries of mankind.

This film was directed by Ridley Scott, the first director for the Alien film. The opening sequence, an advertisement, for The Secret Life of Pi, was way too unexpected. This film is a prequel to the Alien franchise attempting to answer the question of who the traveller was in the first film. It differentiates itself from the Alien franchise with its story, screenshots, and various alien life. The story remains predictable, because everything is revealed too early. Since it is revealed too early, it leaves the remainder of the film to show unnecessary things. There was so much various mutations happening that it defeated the meaning behind the story. The story also created several more questions instead of attempting to answer the highlight of the film. There should have been more than five minutes of the scientists discovering the alien maps that could've helped to build more suspense to the story. Although, it was great to see the Xenomorph alien appear in the ending of the film! ^_^ The special effects for all the mutations, new technology, and the planet was done amazingly well. The affects gave the film a grandiose look. There was some fear, but not enough to make it a horror/science fiction film. There was enough gore to keep it from being small child friendly.

There is a lot of passionless acting, or limited passion acting. It makes sense for an android to be void of emotion, but that doesn't mean he should be out shadowing the humans. Noomi Rapace played the role of Elizabeth Shaw. She was good at not being another Weaver. However, she didn't create a strong vulnerable character. The most intensity she presents is when she is screaming her lungs out. Michael Fassbender played the role of David. He was great in his role of the android. He conveyed a deep longing for information, and a fascination with life. Charlize Theron played the role of Meredith Vickers. She was good in this role. She played the hard ass protector of the ship for a while. Her character tended to change way too often that their was no real connection or continuity. Logan Marshall-Green played the role of Charlie Holloway. He was good in his role. He was limited to what his character was and became. Idris Elba played the role of Janek. He was great at making his character stand out among the other cast as the Prometheus' captain (the ship).

I give this film 3 out of 5 stars! It has a lot of great potential, but the film needed better focus. It needed character focus and story focus. It had a lot of great special effects and alien creations.
