Prometheus Movie Review

There hasn't been a really good, pure science fiction film in some time. Children of Men (2006) is an instant classic, and A.I. and Gattaca are two of my faves. But there really hasn't been anything great, taking place in space. I loved Sunshine and Moon,but there were a few issues with those.


When it comes to director Ridley Scott, helmer of two of the most seminal and influential science fiction films of all time — you, under the rock! I'm talking about Alien (1979) and Blade Runner (1982) — the pressure had to be immense when returning to the genre. Oftentimes, he who hesitates is lost but in this case, Scott returns to form strong and sure with Prometheus, his long-awaited prequel to Alien.



Futuristic spelunker / scientist archeologists Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and Charlie Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green) find an alien star-map hidden within ancient Irish cave drawings, and their discovery takes them to another planet, where they join the crew on board Prometheus, an exploratory vessel helmed by Meredith Vickers (Charlize Theron) and her right-hand droid, David (Michael Fassbender). The expedition is funded by immortality-seeking megamillionaire Peter Weyland (Guy Pearce). Crew includes pilot Janek (Idris Elba), and other assorted expendables just waiting to become unwilling hosts to the hostile, acid-spewing life forms.


I won't say much about what happens and won't dare pimp the scares, but I will say, there are several suspenseful, squirm-inducing white knuckle moments of pure sci-fi horror the likes of which have not been experienced (by me, anyway) in years. Robin Hood (2010) notwithstanding, Scott's still got it. In spite of a few (surprisingly) clunky line deliveries by Theron, the whole cast is up to snuff and they complement one another most impressively. Standouts are Rapace and Fassbender, for sure. Pearce is magnificent as well in a small role, but unless.by stacilayne

Evil Dead II Classic On Blu-Ray

Ash

(Bruce Campbell) is arguably the best genre protagonist there is (with Snake Plissken, Jack Burton and Reggie from Phantasm waiting in the wings), and the patented "splatstick" horror/comedy they deliver is better than anything Jane Austen could deliver on her best days. Subtitled "Dead by Dawn," the second film in the trilogy is considered the perfect one, and a pioneer.

Limited by the budget, scope and film stock of the original, this Blu-ray transfer does the most that it can do with the image. Thankfully, it does a lot. Great contrast and rich black levels provide a method to forgive the light grain and dated appearance. Overall, however, the new polish and old texture give the film a fresh new feel that offers both enhancement and preservation. It sounds incredible by any standard and, like the video, both preserves and enhances the original audio. And while the extras are admittedly weak, we still have to recommend this flick to anyone looking to add some horror staples to their Blu-ray collection.
