Prometheus: Film Review

12:00 AM PDT 5/30/2012 by Todd McCarthy

The Bottom Line
A visually stunning return to science-fiction by Ridley Scott caters too much to audience expectations when more imaginative boldness would have taken it further.

Opens
June 8 (20th Century Fox)

Cast
Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, Guy Pearce

Director
Ridley Scott

Although Ridley Scott’s 3D visual feast is no classic, the oozing alien tentacles hit all the right sci-fi horror notes.

Be careful what you wish for, especially if it involves figuring out who invented humankind. That's the warning at the heart of Prometheus, a visual feast of a 3D sci-fi movie that has trouble combining its high-minded notions about the origins of the species and its   Alien  -based obligation to deliver oozy gross-out moments. Ridley Scott's third venture into science-fiction, after   Alien   in 1979 and Blade Runner in 1982, won't become a genre benchmark like those classics despite its equivalent seriousness and ambition, but it does supply enough visual spectacle, tense action and sticky, slithery monster attacks to hit the spot with thrill-seeking audiences worldwide.


In this scene from the film, actor Logan Marshall-Green stands on the bridge of the spaceship Prometheus.
