Prometheus is it worth the hype - early reviews are in -

Early reviews for Ridley Scotts "Prometheus" the highly anticipated prequel to 1979's "Alien" are starting to pore in , is it worth the cinema trip ?

The movie which stars Naoimi Rapace (the girl with the dragon tatoo) , Michael Fassbender (Inglourious Basterds) and Charlize Theron (the Italian job and Hancock) is believed to be a direct prequel to Alien the 1979 Box Office sensation which changed the Sci-Fi and Horror genre for ever . The Question though reamins will it be as big a hit in 2012  with a already over done franchise and an aging audience .

My guess , yes it will do very well and will probably be one of the summers biggest hits , the fact its a prequel to the original and not a sequel means its going to attract lots of fans who are looking for answers and it looks so good (at least visually from the trailers and cast) its going to have no problem attracting a new audience . Enough though let the critics be heared !

 The Hollywood Reporter's Todd McCarthy - 


"Ridley Scott's third venture into science-fiction, after Alien in 1979 and Blade Runner in 1982, won't become a genre benchmark like those classics despite its equivalent seriousness and ambition , But it does supply enough visual spectacle, tense action and sticky, slithery monster attacks to hit the spot with thrill-seeking audiences worldwide."


Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian -


"It is a muddled, intricate, spectacular film, but more or less in control of all its craziness and very watchable, There are also some shrewd and witty touches, and one terrifically creepy performance by Michael Fassbender ."


Mark Adams of Screen Daily -


"While Prometheus has some striking chilling moments it never plays the all-out horror card, instead developing the science alongside the action and punctuating the film with moments that jolt and amaze, Prometheus should thrill, challenge and provoke audiences ready for (this) signature brand of intelligent and visceral film-making."


Judging by these reviews id give it 4 stars before even seeing it !

Prometheus movie trailer is not of this Earth !

YES !  , thats what you say when your asked this summer if your seeing Prometheus , Ridley Scotts latest Sci-fi  flick prometheus which has Alien fans everywhere drueling acidic green saliva onto their keyboards all around the world . 
  

Yes the latest trailer for "Ridley Scott's" "Prometheus" has most people convinced that this movie is a prequel to the 1979 box office sensation "Alien" . The movie trailer gives alot of hints about the film but also creates plenty to wonder about . In the trailer a group of archaeologists and scientists who include famous stars "Noomi Rapace" , "Charlise Theron" and "Guy Pearce" who after studying ancient texts and pictograms from ancient civilisations discover that all these ancient people had one thing in common , this discovery leads the group to believe it is likely the human race and all we are did not originate on Earth but from a far off planet .

Of course if you are a fan of the alien franchise you know that the alien race who are responsible for our existence tend to have a plan of sorts for our race and heading to this planet is definitely a bad bad thing .
It is on this planet the group with the help of android  "Michael Fassbender" will learn as seen in the trailer that heading to this planet is a big mistake and means they may have not only put themselves in danger , but every human back on Earth in danger too .

Watch the trailer it looks fantastic and will definetly breath life back into a franchise haunted by the horrific  Alien Vs Predator movies and send Sci Fi fans of the 70s , 80s and 90s into ecstasy and hopefully horrify audiences in cinemas worldwide just like 1979s Alien . Video below .
