Prometheus (2012)

Never trust a robot
The scientific crew of the Prometheus is tasked to find evidence of an ancient civilization on a distant planet.  Upon arrival, the crew discovers a structure .  And if you're ever seen any of the Alien films, you can guess what happens next when they begin to explore it.   Ridley Scott has made another fantastic sci-fi thriller.  And while it is not specifically an "Alien" story, this film still fits well into the existing Alien cannon of films. The only thing keeping me from giving it the maximum '5' is a couple of ridiculous situations.  But despite any minor flaws, Prometheus delivers an engrossing story, great action, gorgeous sets and lots of entertainment.  And after all, isn't that what films are about?
