Prometheus

Prometheus

2012 | Ridley Scott

From the director of Alien, Blade Runner, and Gladiator. Prometheus is the latest film directed by Ridley Scott. The story is set in the late 21st century, the crew of the spaceship Prometheus follow the ancient star map which leads them to what they believe to be the origin of humanity. But that what they discover is not what they think it is.

The screenplay was written by Damon Lindelof (Creator/Producer/Writer of series Lost) and Jon Spaihts (Screenwriter of The Darkest Hour, which is quite frightening since it is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. In term of the production, Prometheus is top-notch as we all have seen in its amazing trailer. The soundtrack does deliver the audience into the world in deep space.

The problem is the screenplay, you will never see this kind of character’s behavior in any of what I called “grade A” films because it is unrealistic beyond common sense. It’s the entertainment that you would be able to find in grade B or C films where the characters would do something unexpectedly or completely make no sense.

If you like Ridley Scott’s works, this is a must-see, I can assure you will enjoy Prometheus as well. The film was shot entirely using Red EPIC cameras and Element Technica Atom 3D rig which is techically 3D from the beginning.

Although you will not see any much differences comparing to regular digital cinema. I watched it in 3D, yes there were 3D moments, but there were not as epic as Avatar. So it is your choice which system you want to watch.

The promotional video is just brilliant, this scene isn’t in the film because it takes place in 2023. (The film is set in 2089 – 2093)
