Prometheus

On Friday I went and saw Prometheus 3D at Vue Cinema, Festival Place, Basingstoke.

This movie had a lot of hype attached to it, originally the movie was going to be a prequel to the Alien movies, but the Ridley Scott decided this was just to be a movie set in the same universe as those movies.

The Wayland Corporation finance an expedition to the distant moon LV-223 after archeologists discover identical star maps from several different otherwise unconnected ancient civilisations.

They hope to find the creators of humankind, however what they do find...is something that could totally destroy it if it gets chance to escape.

The movie was great, lots of action and it adds more to the history of the Xenomorphs (you get to see a early evolution on the facehugger and and the fully grown alien) which is quite interesting, although the movie does leave things open for a sequel to this movie.

Prometheus certainly lived up to the hype in my opinion (a rare thing these days) and although the 3D wasn't really that good it didn't detract from the enjoyment I got from watching this movie.

Prometheus is rated 15, in 2D and 3D and in cinemas now.

Men In Black III

This week I went to see Men In Black III at the Odeon Cinema in Basingstoke.

In the third instalment of the MIB franchise, an old enemy of K has escaped from a prison on the moon and goes back in time and erases him from history and it's up to J to time jump and save his partner and prevent the World being conquered.

If you like the Men In Black franchise, then you should like this...however as much as I'm a fan I just felt like this movie was made just for the sake of money, especially in 3D (which I didn't see the point of whatsoever). Sure there were some funny bits and bits which explain more about the J's father, but I just don't feel like it was a good movie in the franchise and I hope this is where it stops.

Men In Black III is in 2D and 3D, rated PG and in cinemas now.
