Prometheus Has Landed

Is Prometheus worth the wait?  Does it live up the hype?  This weekend hundreds of thousands of people will crowd theaters for Ridley Scott’s long awaited return to sci-fi with Prometheus.  For over a year fans have been trying to figure out if Prometheus is a prequel to Scott’s 1979 Alien…or not.  So is it, or isn’t it?  The film contains “strands of Alien’s DNA,” hints director Ridley Scott.  Which after seeing the movie, I find it’s the perfect description.
Prometheus is a prequel of sorts.  You don’t need to see Alien to enjoy this masterpiece, but for those fans of Alien, I think watching it again before Prometheus is an added bonus.

Greek legend tells us Prometheus was a God who stole fire from Zeus and gave it to man.  For punishment, he was bound to a rock for eternity.  Everyday an eagle would peck out his liver, and every day it would grow back, just to be pecked at again.  There’s a cycle, just as all things have a cycle.  Meredith Vickers (Charlize Theron) states, “A king has his reign and then he dies.”  Again, it’s a cycle.  So, is the cycle of the Human race at an end?
Two scientists, Dr. Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and Dr. Charles Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green), find ancient drawings and carvings across Earth from different millennia and civilizations showing the same message or map.  The scientists take this as an invitation to find the origins of mankind.  A group of biologists, geologists, and others assembled by Weyland industries, which we now know from viral ad campaigns is the creator of the androids seen in all the movies in the Alien franchise, set out to find the “Engineers” of our race and end up finding much much more.

The crew finds large dome shaped caverns complete with a maze like network below.  Chilling events are set in motion after David, the android, played masterfully by Michael Fassbender, starts touching stuff.

David has an almost childlike quality.  He has no fear, no emotions, but has facial expressions are full of wonder and amazement. His mischievous actions could be taken as the inquisitiveness of a child, or programed orders.  Of course, we know the answer, but Scott likes to play with our minds.  Nevertheless, David accelerates things.
Meredith Vickers (Theron) is the company watchdog that actually seems to have a different agenda than the company; something new to the Alien franchise.  She doesn’t believe in sacrificing human life to fulfill someone else’s quest for knowledge.
I don’t think Prometheus lands on LV-426, the planet in Alien.  We do see in the many trailers that there is a ship, a chair, and an alien (affectionately named by fans the “Space Jockey”) that seem identical to the ones found by Dallas and his crew in Alien.  But Prometheus takes place roughly 30 years prior to the events in Alien and the planet just looks completely different to me.

But just like the magic of Alien, we don’t see much at first, but when we do…pooh man.  Scott lets us see ripples and dripping and melting and shadows, but saves the big stuff for later.  He smoothly progresses from tiny to small to large to big.  As David says, “Big things have small beginnings.”  By allowing the story to evolve this way, Scott keeps the main focus on the characters and how they handle evolving situations.  Even the questions constantly evolve, with most being answered with more questions.  It is really a philosophical and psychological thriller.

Scott also gathered a stellar cast (excuse the pun…I couldn’t help myself).  I mainly noticed the chameleon type actors he chose.  Noomi Rapace, Charlize Theron, and Michael Fassbender have all had recent films released where their characters are completely different from Prometheus’.  I didn’t watch Dr. Shaw and think she’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.  It’s the same for Meredith Vickers and David; the actors morph themselves into different people.
Prometheus is beautifully written by Damon Lindelof & Jon Spaihts.  It delves into the quagmire of religious beliefs vs. scientific evidence, and the questions that linger.  Pay close attention to the opening scene, it’s brilliant.  In fact, Lindelof, Spaihts, and Scott ask the question, if was populated by an alien race, where does God fit in if anywhere?  Most questions are not answered.  They leave that up to us.

One such question could be about the beacon in Alien, thought to be an SOS, and the cave drawings in Prometheus, thought to be an invitation to find a civilization.  Some characters later believe they were warnings to stay away, but what if they were an invitation and an SOS to lure us in?  This is a type of the delicious questions you will have leaving the theater.
Not that you need any more reasons to see Prometheus, another new featurette is released.  We see more of what I think is the alien figure in a chair apparatus at the begining of Alien and commentary from Ridley Scott himself.


In theaters June 8th.

Prometheus says Suck This Fans


Well, it looks like at least one crew member won’t make it home, or will he/she?  Ridley Scott has kept us guessing for months whether Prometheus is a prequel to Alien or not.  Though he says no, we have found out there is a tie-in to the Alien franchise with the robot/cyborg creator, Weyland Industries. 
SPOILERS:
The new international trailer for Prometheus offers more views of what we can expect.  I suspect these may not the aliens we’ve seen before, but it appears Ridley has included a new, more terrifying face sucker plus an eye worm. Eww, gotta love that. There's also a glimpse of what looks like the dead alien and it's chair for the beginning of Alien.  One thing is for sure; Prometheus will increase your heart rate, terrify you, and make you think twice about visiting a strange planet in hopes of finding alien life forms.  “Big things have small beginnings.”


Prometheus Featurette

Enjoy this new featurette for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus.  This is my most anticipated movie this year.  Dare I even say more than The Avengers?  Scott teases us again with some behind the scenes footage mixed in with scenes from the film.  I can’t stand the teasing, yet I love it.  Keep ‘em coming Ridley.


The film stars Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Idris Elba, Guy Pearce, Rafe Spall, Sean Harris, Logan Marshall-Green, and Charlize Theron. Prometheus opens in 3D on June 8th.









Exclusive: AMC Theatres, 20th Century Fox & Livestream Present LIVE Q&A With Director Ridley Scott and Premiere Of New Prometheus Trailer!

On Saturday, March 17th at 4 p.m. PST/ 7 p.m. EST, legendary director Ridley Scott premiered the first full trailer for one of 2012's most anticipated films, PROMETHEUS, at the AMC Downtown Disney in Anaheim, CA. This invite-only premiere followed a 30 minutes Q&A session with the iconic director conducted by Prometheus writer/producer Damon Lindelof (Co-creator, Executive Producer and Writer of TV's LOST). You can watch the Q&A on Livestream.

During the Q&A, an audience member asked if there would be a scene like in Alien where the cast didn't know that something was going to pop out of John Hurt's chest. Scott grinned and simply responded, "Oh yeah." Scott also made a point that he doesn't like "Old school" as a term for not using CGI. He commented that CGI is much more expensive than "Sensible school" and "Practical sets," commenting that it takes the actors out of the set, "Actors are in a green or blue vacuumm and everyone is guessing." He also said that there is always a repair bill at the end that is expensive. He feels Prometheus, "... came out rather economical on a seriously good looking film."

There was some discussion on the evolution and scientific tone of the film. Lindelof posed the question "Will there be any scientific discovery in my lifetime that may change my beliefs of God? We don't have the answer to it, but the movie is certainly asking that question."

June 8th can not come soon enough. I lost count how many times I've watched this new trailer, it's that good. All hail the return of Scott to sci-fi. I better start saving up, cause I have a feeling I will see Prometheous multiple times and will discover something new with each viewing.

Here's the official synopsis for Prometheus:

Ridley Scott, director of “Alien” and “Blade Runner,” returns to the genre he helped define. With PROMETHEUS, he creates a groundbreaking mythology, in which a team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a thrilling journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.
