In case you're not aware, Prometheus is the marker of another trilogy, so if things seem a little unconcluded...that's exactly how it should be, because the story isn't finished. But regardless of the additional films scheduled to be released in the future, the first of the prequel trilogy gives enough information to keep the story very entertaining.

Initially, I didn't want to see Prometheus. The reviews were mixed at the theaters, and I particularly heard comments about Walsh "being wounded for the entire movie and having to endure her moaning and groaning." Well, I don't want to spoil the movie, but this is certainly NOT the case.

Mystery, suspense...with some Ridley Scott Horror mixed in — I felt like watching the Alien series over again — ok maybe up to the 3rd film, that is.

Prometheus 4-Disc Collector's Edition Blu-ray gets a RECOMMENDED PLUS.

Ridley Scott says Prometheus is not directly linked to the Alien films, but I think he's just being cautious and doesn't want to spoil what may come later in the second and third installments. Regardless of Alien linkage, I thought Prometheus was very entertaining, and enjoyed much more than I thought I would. I've already watched it three times in about a month. I've thought about even upgrading this recommendation a notch, but I'm satisfied with it for now.

Prometheus: Director's Cut?

Never say never, but Ridley Scott has pretty much been unflexible with any additional footage for a Director's Cut. And normally, I really frown on director's not allowing a Director's Cut, but in this case, the film is solid. And this is rare. I might be in the minority, and there is still continued debate by easily searching online for the various website discussions, but there's a reason why Scott wanted to leave out many scenes, and there is a reason why he wants it told the way it was shown theatrically.
