Prometheus 2012

Product Details     Elizabeth Shaw and Charlie Holloway are an archaeologist couple, they have been tracking cave drawings made by different and separated cultures all showing a large man and several planets.  They believe an advanced race of humans arrived on Earth and this may be the origin of life.  The year is 2093 and the space ship Prometheus has taken the couple to planet LV-223.  Everyone on the ship has been in hibernation for two years except David, an android.  The ship has landed near an alien structure and a group sets out to explore.  A sudden violent storm causes everyone but two men to hurriedly return to the ship, the two left behind were thought to have already left for the ship.
     I saw this in the theater and everything about this movie is very bright and loud except for everything alien.  Anything alien is dark and black, it sounds very ominous and it is.  After watching this, it takes a while to piece this together to try and figure out what happened.  I wonder if eating cabbage and going to bed was the basis for this screenplay?  3* (This movie is OK and very weird)

124 min, Adventure directed by Ridley Scott with Noomi Rapace, Logan Marshall-Green, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, Guy Pearce, Sean Harris, Rafe Spall.

Note:  Blockbuster 3*, imdb 7.6 out of 10, 73% critic 72% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
