With PROMETHEUS, he creates a groundbreaking mythology, in which a team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a thrilling journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race. Review: So Much More Than I Expected - First off, I went into Prometheus not entirely sure if I was indeed watching an Alien prequel or not. (according to the studio) First it was, then it wasn't, then it kinda was but they weren't calling it one, etc. Let me say that Prometheus most definitely is part of the Alien story. It just goes in an uncommon direction. The deciding factor in whether you're going to like this film or not, is what you hope to get out of an Alien prequel. If you're looking for a space horror like the original, this is not so much that. If you want an other-worldly guns-a-blazing action flick like Aliens, this is not really that either. What this is, is somewhere between those films, with a much bigger emphesis on story. As a movie-buff and one of those 70-80's kids who grew up on films like Alien and Star Wars, I constantly wanted to know what was behind everything. Where did these aliens come from? Who/what was that fossilized (appearing) creature sitting behind the big gun when the Nostromo crew entered the ship on LV-426? Who's ship is this & why was it there? Questions such as these are finally answered with Prometheus, along with one giant revelation to an unposed question. One that is much larger and far deeper than anything else contemplated within this series. One that could be potentially very disturbing to some. I will go no further into that aspect, so as not to spoil anything. Of course this film has guns-a-blazing action and the spooky atmosphere of the first two films... Just not to the degree of either one. This is a well balanced Sci-Fi film, with some truly spectacular visuals & effects that most importantly, do not overtake the story. If you're one of the few who has never seen the original Alien films, doing so is not really required (though highly suggested). The way in which these old questions are answered is not done in such a way that you ever had to have asked them in the first place. There is no big fanfare or fancy reveal, as to say HERE IT IS!. The film is thankfully not ruined in that way. But for those who have seen the first four films and have questions, the moments where everything just comes together are found in Prometheus. While this film could stand on it's own, it is left begging for a sequel, as all ends are not tied up and new questions are definitely asked. As far as the picture & sound quality of this (Blu-ray) disc are concerned, both are absolutely stunning. Prometheus is quite probably the best looking & sounding live action BD I have ever viewed. To put simply, the picture is breathtakingly flawless. I could detect no artifacts, banding or any other negative aspect, even in dark & high contrast scenes. Color is vibrant yet realistic and blacks are decidedly black. Sound is dynamic with great bass and effects are precisely placed. Most importantly (and sadly uncommon) is the fact that dialog is consistantly clear and audible without having to adjust the volume between voice & effects. When it comes to picture & sound, Prometheus is of reference quality and sets a new standard. Review: Great movie: multiple formats for sharing and viewing - This 2 DVD package is a perfect example of why you should purchase the set, rather than just viewing online from a streaming service. The movie is well written, the sets, acting and effects are top level and state of the art. It leaves one with lots of questions about the Engineers and why each alien doesn't look like the ones we saw in the Alien movies: those questions are answered in a beautiful example of leading-edge technology. If you have an iPad or Android tablet/phone, you can download a Prometheus app that will link with your Blu-ray player if it supports BD-Live! As the movie plays, background information is displayed on the tablet including production notes and sketches. At certain parts of the movie, the movie is paused while a video from one of the producers/directors/special effects editors, etc., is displayed on the tablet. The movie then continues. At other places, alternate or deleted scenes are added to the viewing experience at the exact place they fit in the film. You have an option on the tablet to skip the experience, but it is worth watching if you truly want to appreciate the time, talent and effort that went into making this film. The other add-ons on the second disk, including the SD version, Digital Copy and additional resources telling you about the movie are all worth watching. The history of how the movie came into existence is remarkable, as well as how the first Alien movie was completed with a few starts and stops. The production team and director made it all look too easy and polished when we all saw the first Alien movie...the story is an inspiration for all of us who aspire to be creative, jump hurdles and achieve goals over time. Noomi Rapace brings the same level of intensity and emotion to her role as she did in the "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" trilogy. (She was good in Sherlock Holmes too, but the role did not offer anywhere near the challenge of this one.) Charlize Theron continues to amaze with her acting as a hard-core, highly disciplined, driven...but still-wanting-to-be-a-loved-daughter persona. Idris Elba does a great job of balancing out Theron's intensity with calm leadership, focus and demeanor: after all, it's Christmas! Michael Fassbender is both frightening and fascinating as the cyborg with a hidden agenda and a bad habit of listening in on other people's dreams. Guy Pearce makes good use of his screen time although there is not much of it: his movements and voice, along with remarkable make-up transformed him into a very old man with his own special, but not surprising, agenda. The rest of the cast does a good job in adding depth and texture to the story line. If you want to learn an interesting interpretation of the mural they find....watch the add-on info carefully. And....the ending leaves room for a sequel! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005LAIHXQ | | Actors | Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce, Idris Elba, Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace | | Aspect Ratio | 2.40:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #9,561 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #4,596 in DVD | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (27,042) | | Director | Ridley Scott | | Dubbed: | French, Spanish | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 5409819907 | | Language | Unqualified (Dolby Digital 5.1) | | MPAA rating | R (Restricted) | | Media Format | AC-3, Color, Dolby, Dubbed, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 2.72 ounces | | Release date | October 9, 2012 | | Run time | 2 hours and 4 minutes | | Studio | 20th Century Fox | | Subtitles: | English, Spanish | ## Product Details - **Format:** AC-3, Color, Dolby, Dubbed, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen - **Genre:** Horror/Things That Go Bump/Monsters, Science Fiction & Fantasy - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 2 hours and 4 minutes ## Images ![Prometheus - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91eHe6Cby2L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So Much More Than I Expected *by L***R on November 5, 2012* First off, I went into Prometheus not entirely sure if I was indeed watching an Alien prequel or not.
