I saw it opening night, at midnight. IMAX 3D.
Huge theater.

Freaking scary. Reminded me of Alien.

The summary/plot description of the movie they give on IMDB or w/e is like insanely censored, blocking out all the details. (scary details)
When they say something like, "while Fifield and his companion are stuck in the depth of the caves because of the storm, captain informs them about a living life form which turns out to be a snake."
Actually, it's a snake that mesmerizes Fifield's companion and goes into his helmet /scary stuff happens ->skip past details, killing him. This snake is also 30 feet long, and is more like a worm, with no eyes and has the ability to flatten its head into something like a cobra's head.

For younger kids, don't read below.

It's rated R, but not for adult/suggestive themes.
It's rated R for insanely disturbing (in the scary/monster way) scenes and stuff.
Basically Alien all over again, but less scary.
I pity those teenagers who think they're tough and walk into this movie.
I'm pretty much an adult now; this movie is quite a scare haha.


TIME FOR SPOILER!!!!
I managed to find a forum and god it helped me understand so much.
The movie ITSELF is insanely high-tech, lots of new terms and concepts and there is a whole backstory that is not made clear inside the movie.
The movie takes place in a ship around 2093, almost 80 years from now.
Huge advancements in technology and now we are not focusing on inventing stuff, but rather recovering stuff.
And this special case, Weyland's Company has paid a few trillion to build a high-tech spaceship controlled by an exact-human clone android named David.

Basically 20 years before the spaceship in 2073, two archaeologists were taking part in a search.
A search to recover the past, or rather, to find the origin of human life.
Little do they know that this origin just might end human life.
They find ancient murals from civilizations, and these civilizations date thousands of years apart from each other.
All point to a stellar system in the sky.

Near the 2080s, they find an exact match to this system and find a planet with livable conditions, JUST LIKE Earth.
This is where they go.

I tell you it's freaking scary.
Don't go see it unless you have the guts.

If anyone wants to know anything that they did not understand after they saw the movie, feel free to PM me.
I'm sort of an expert on this movie now. Heh.


But yeah, my thoughts:
I think it's a really great movie. Why? It has a huge backstory with a lot of logic behind it.
If you truly understand everything that happens in the movie, it's like a whole reshaping on humanity's history and origins.

I saw it. It was AWESOME! My friends on Facebook explained the backstory and logic behind it and it got a whole lot cooler from there on :-)

I didn't really enjoy the movie, because it didn't answer many of the mysteries the archaeologists were trying to reveal.
But I enjoyed seeing women ripping alien baby octopuses from their abdomen through unauthorized robot surgery.
And that alien was RIPPED.

On my list of films to see in the future, I will probably wait until it comes out on DVD!

The reason why we have 3 Aliens movies.

It was a really good movie. Set the table for those of us who watched Alien when I was younger. (Wow... Im old.) ;)

I wish they made a sequel so badly.
It's the closest thing in Sci-Fi next to Alien for a while now...

It wasn't scary :P lol I saw it and it was pretty awesome I liked it.
It was funny the people in front of me were all complaining:
" what the ff, that thing looks like a rip off of Alien!" (at the very end)
I SMH and told them that it was a prequel lol.

Hey the Alien queen was awesome. Loved those three movies.
I even saw all the Predator films and then watched the two Aliens VS Predators films.

Prometheus has WAY more backstory and scientific logic/plot idea.
That's way I love it more.
Although now I'll have to either play PL all night or keep my nightlight on.
LOL.
