Plot:
This is the most expected movie of 2012 for science fiction fans, as Prometheus is linked to the original Alien series of movies. Directed by Ridley Scott, the movie presents the story of a crew that tries to find out the origins of life on Earth by visiting one of the darkest corner of the universe. There’s still a question that was vaguely answered, if Prometheus is indeed an Alien prequel, as Ridley Scott kind of contradicted his sayings. His latest statement says that it’s not really a prequel, but fans of Alien will see its “dna” in the movie. However, after closely inspecting the trailer I strongly believe that there’s more than a simple link between Prometheus and Alien, and these are my observations:

• An Weyland Industries vehicle image shows up in the trailer (the company that appears in alien vs predator)
• There’s a scene where the helmet of one crew members is burning, but looks more like acid burn (just as in Alien)
• A screenshot of what appears to be the Space Jockey (Mala’kak or The Pilot), just as in alien
• A crew member seems to be suffering from acid burns on his face (nametag says he’s Holloway)
• David (played by Michael Fassbender) is an Android (just as Ash and Bishop were in the Alien series), because he shows up in a scene where he doesn’t were a helmet, meaning he doesn’t need to breath
• There’s another scene where a series of pots/urns are symmetrically distributed in a room, and guesses are that those urns contain alien babies
• Another scene where someone pulls a jelly thing out of an urn, and it does look like it contains an Alien tail, so maybe it’s the precursor of the famous facehugger in Alien
• One of the last scenes shows a horseshoe spaceship crashing, just like one in the first Alien movie

The details are not that important at this point, but after you’ll watch the trailer for Prometheus you’ll have the same feeling just like after seeing an alien movie. I can just feel that this movie will be the best sci-fi of the year. BTW, Prometheus is the name of the spaceship they use to travel way and beyond, and in Greek mythology he was a Titan, a champion of humans that stole from Zeus to give to the morals – he was punished by the god to be chained to a rock and have an eagle eat his liver over and over again. So what does the ship have in common with this? This is a question we’ll have an answer for only after the movie is released, summer of 2012 please come faster!
