Prometheus

I really, really, liked it. While it was not quite as intense as Alien, it did come pretty close. Noomi Rapace did a great job as the protagonist, and the "surgery" scene was very well-paced and edited. Micheal Fassbender played David really well. He was probably my favorite character. I was really surprised by what the space jockeys really were. I always thought they were some kind of elephant creature. I liked how close it stayed to the alien universe. Such as at one point in the film when something causes David to spurt some blood. Not to be demented, it was satisfying to see that milky substance again, after so many years.

I enjoyed how you see many "precursors" to the xenomorph. I also enjoyed seeing more H.R Giger designs than Alien ever saw. I also liked how "organic" the space jockey's technology was. The special effects were also really well done. None of the CGI came across as very fake looking to me, in fact, a lot of it looked like a guy in a suit with makeup! I also heard somewhere that there was a little bit of practical effects too, so that might be another reason why it looked so good.

Overall, it had all the elements of an Alien film, and it won't dissapoint any fans of the series.
