My brother and I just got home from watching Prometheus in 3D. I am going to watch it again with my wife this weekend (maybe even tonight). It takes place in the same 'universe' as the Alien movies (but not the terrible Alien Vs Predator movies), but it's less like Alien or Aliens and more like a rated R Star Trek movie. It's less about scares and more about pondering the big questions in life. Bottom line, it's awesome. It's not 2001 perfection, but it's a lot better than Avatar (which I love). And not to spoil this movie for you, but it is definitely a set up for another movie. Where the next movie is clearly going is enough to make anyone who loves sci fi movies want to do a happy dance.
