Prometheus (2012)

Twentieth Century Fox Film
Directed by Ridley Scott
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Blu-ray 3D, Fox)

Scientists travel to a distant planet in search of the origins of mankind. Instead, they are relentlessly attacked by alien creatures who invade their bodies and a God-like humanoid intent on destroying Earth. Lead scientist Noomi Rapace shows incredible fortitude, surviving a self-induced abortion to rid herself of an alien and a slow-motion crash of a giant spaceship. She gets help from a robot named David, or at least his disembodied head. Well, needless to say Earth is saved, but the open ending leaves plenty of room for the inevitable sequels. This horror-science fiction hybrid pours on the violence and gore, is obsessed with  technology and consists of characters that are neither likeable or memorable.
