Directed by Ridley Scott, Prometheus (2012) was conceived as a prequel to his 1979 hit film, Alien. Although the idea for the film had been floating around for a dozen years, it actually came about at the right time. Technical 3D innovations, as well as leaps and bounds in CGI imaging, make Prometheus an aesthetic marvel to behold. The story follows fascinating elements seen in ancient art on Earth that lead explorers to a faraway planet which may hold the secrets of the origin of mankind. Their deadly discovery is not what they expected to find. The historical tie-in makes the plot doubly interesting. Scott's direction is spot-on, and the cast is good, including Charlize Theron, Guy Pierce, Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender.
