Movie Synopsis
At the end of the 21st century, the scientific and technological level of human beings has been highly developed, and human cloning technology and space navigation have long been realized and are no longer dreams. At the same time, many scientists are still assiduously pursuing the secrets and truth of human origin. By examining and comparing many ancient civilizations, scientists Elizabeth shaw (Noomi Rapace) and Charles holloway (Logan marshall-green) have discovered that humans may have been created by aliens from a distant galaxy. Funded by Weyland, they travel to the unknown planet in Prometheus, a spaceship run by vickers (Charlize Theron).
After a local investigation, the idea of the people on earth was successfully confirmed. But their reckless exploration of the “secret of the gods” has led them into an abyss of destruction…

“Prometheus” is a 2012 science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott and starring Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, and Idris Elba. The film serves as a prequel to Scott’s earlier film “Alien” (1979) and explores the origins of the mysterious Space Jockey creature seen in that film.

The story follows a team of scientists and explorers who embark on a mission to a distant planet to discover the origins of human life. Along the way, they discover a strange structure that contains a dangerous secret. As they explore the structure, they encounter a series of deadly threats and must fight for their survival.

The film explores themes of creation, evolution, and the search for meaning in life. It also features stunning visual effects and a haunting musical score by composer Marc Streitenfeld.

“Prometheus” received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising its ambitious scope and stunning visuals, while others criticized its convoluted plot and lack of character development. Nevertheless, the film was a commercial success, grossing over $400 million worldwide. A sequel, “Alien: Covenant”, was released in 2017, continuing the story of the “Alien” franchise.
