Our take on Prometheus

Ridley Scott returns to the universe he helped build with this 2012 science-fiction horror, following a team of explorers who chase a clue to humanity's origins into the darkest corners of space. What begins as a quest for answers curdles into a terrifying fight for the future of the species. Scott trades pure creature-feature scares for grander questions about creation and mortality, wrapped in awe-inspiring, cold visual design. It suits viewers who want ideas alongside dread and don't mind ambiguity in place of tidy resolution. Approach it as a moody, ambitious meditation on where we come from, punctuated by moments of genuine body-horror unease.
