My hubby and I went to the movies Saturday night!
It was a nice treat, since we don't do that very often.
The last movie we saw was in November or December...
My hubby really wanted to see Prometheus, so that's what we saw!
I was a little apprehensive, since I thought maybe it would be scary
and I get terrified pretty easily. Just the theme music in some horror
movies is enough to make me shake like a little girl.
Prometheus was directed by Ridley Scott, and stars several great actors, including Charlize
Theron.
It takes place in the future, in 2089 for the first scene, and then the ones following it in 2093.
Its about an archaeological pair, Elizabeth and Charlie who discover
old cave carvings, and paintings that lead them to believe that we were created
by aliens on another planet. They then go on a mission with several other people
via spacecraft to prove that theory and hopefully meet their makers, and receive answers
to all the questions we ponder every day.
While I obviously don't believe that we were created by aliens, (I believe in God, he is the only
maker, the only creator that exists). I can still enjoy movies for entertainment purposes.
I enjoyed this movie. I thought it was entertaining. It wasn't slow. It was
very fast paced. There are alot of suspenseful parts. They were done very well, because I jumped
quite a few times. It was not a horror movie, it is a sci fi film, so it's very intelligent and a great story line to
follow! The actors were wonderful in it... I really can't think of anything bad to say about it...
However I walked out feeling indifferent...I didn't love it, or hate it. I did enjoy watching it, but I wouldn't buy it or watch it again.
I think it's because Im not a sci-fi fan. I think if you are a fan of sci-fi movies than you should see this.

"not a horror movie, it is a sci fi film"
ReplyDeleteI wanted to see this movie but I don't like horror. I wonder if movies and television have desensitized audiences, if scenes that terrified me as a child (and still bother me 4 decades later) are not even seen as horrific by young people now.
