Prometheus is a 2012 movie directed by Ridley Scott. After archeologists discover what may be a clue to our alien forebears, an expedition is launched to a faraway moon. Once released from stasis, there is an immediate distrust between the crew and the scientists, and everyone seems to be keeping secrets from one another, even the android David, who was in charge while all were asleep. Once they land, things get worse. They find evidence of a humanoid existence, including several dead bodies. They also discover a mysterious liquid which has disastrous effects on them.

I loved the beginning of this film as it captured the exploratory feel that I think science fiction should have. Once on the moon, it developed into a touch of horror, but not so much that it had me covering my mouth and running from the room. It has suspense, sex, intrigue, and just a little bit of gore. If you haven’t heard anything about this film, the ending may be a surprise, and I won’t reveal it. If you do know what happens, know that the final scene is delivered in a very realistic and satisfying way. I would recommend this film.
