What going to make this great is that Ridley Scott is directing it, decades after his last successful entry into Sci-Fi. This time, he is going to answer an essential question that everyone has been asking about: The Space Jockey and the cargo!

I have full confidence in this being a very, very successful film, not to mention the faith we bestow in Ridley to deliver a film that can be right fully named his best piece of work.... yet.

I am a little skeptical about the story and the execution, but it looks very promising. If the trailer says anything, this will hopefully be a dark, scary, and exciting action movie!

Let us all be thankful that this is no longer going to be an Alien prequel.
EDIT: Oh. Apparently it's an Alien prequel again.
Critic Reviews
It does supply enough visual spectacle, tense action and sticky, slithery monster attacks to hit the spot with thrill-seeking audiences worldwide. Full Review
Not as frightening as Alien, not as thrilling as Aliens, but a 3D sci-fi blockbuster that's easily the saga's most spectacular entry. Full Review
Prometheus is a great ride - best taken without too much foreknowledge, by the way. Full Review
Not only does Prometheus herald the rebirth of Alien, it breaths life back into intelligent sci-fi. Full Review
It's something to gorge on hungrily all the same: majestic to look at in every way, and wild enough that many of the opening-night crowd -- this viewer included -- will be right back for seconds. Full Review
Ridley Scott has counter-evolved his 1979 classic Alien into something more grandiose, more elaborate - but less interesting. Full Review
Should thrill, challenge and provoke audiences ready for [Scott's] signature brand of intelligent and visceral film-making. Full Review
