Catching up on lost time.
Last night I had my first IMAX experience, watching a film I’ve been anticipating for some time. There have been others that have tempted me and I’m sure would have been just as impressive, but I’m certainly glad that Prometheus was the one. I cannot express just how visually impressive it is; the beautiful landscapes, the vast, grandiose sets and the flawless CGI are all completely absorbing. Charlize Theron and Noomi Rapace are upstaged only by Michael Fassbender’s incredibly unnerving, yet somehow endearing turn, as the synthetic humanoid David, as he once more justifies his ever increasing Hollywood profile.
It’s incredibly difficult to say much with regards to plot, without giving anything away, suffice to say I think it will polarise opinion. The critics will mostly draw any flaws from comparisons to Alien, which is unfair given that it’s not trying to emulate its predecessor, more expand upon it. Any Ridley Scott/Alien fanboys are sure to get their fix.

One of the greatest love stories ever committed to celluloid.
Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette, Val Kilmer, Gary Oldman, Christopher Walken, Dennis Hopper, Michael Rapaport, Chris Penn, Tom Sizemore, Samuel L. Jackson, James Gandolfini and Brad Pitt. If any film had that cast now, people would shit themselves.
