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.
