Prometheus

In the distant future, a team of explorers discovers a series of clues on an alien planet that could lead to the origins of humanity. However, their mission takes a terrifying turn when they encounter a hostile extraterrestrial life form and must fight for their survival.

Prometheus received mixed to positive reviews from critics. While praised for its stunning visuals, ambitious scope, and Fassbender's performance, it was often criticized for its convoluted plot, underdeveloped characters, and scientific inaccuracies. Audience reception was similarly divided.

• Visually spectacular with compelling performances, particularly from Michael Fassbender.

• Raises intriguing questions about humanity's origins but struggles with narrative coherence and character development.

• A return to form for Ridley Scott in the sci-fi genre, though it doesn't quite live up to the legacy of Alien.

Google audience: Google users generally appreciated the film's visual effects and the exploration of grand themes, but many found the plot confusing and the characters' actions illogical, leading to disappointment for some who expected a more direct connection to the Alien franchise.

Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. Nominated for Saturn Awards for Best Science Fiction Film and Best Actor (Michael Fassbender).
