Plot
In 2093, after a clue to mankind's origins is discovered, explorers are sent to the darkest corner of the universe. Their different expectations take a toll on them when they find something unimaginable.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Ridley Scott, the director of Alien (1979) is back after 33 years, and he did a good direction of this film. It is nice to have Ridley Scott back after he directed the film Alien movie.
 * 2) Very nice and beautiful soundtrack that was performed by Marc Streitenfeld, that beautiful, and fear themes.
 * 3) Good acting, especially for Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, etc.
 * 4) Similar to Gravity, the cinematography is almost as beautiful and dazzling, making you feel like that you're on another planet instead of on planet Earth, manages to pull the viewer into the movie's world. It also manages to feel as non-claustrophobic as possible.
 * 5) Very nice visual effects for the spaceships, USCSS Prometheus, and the Juggernaut.
 * 6) In addition, the settling of planet LV223 looks pretty beautiful and well done.
 * 7) The scene near the end of the film where Elizabeth being helped by a headless David to bring her back home, is pretty teamworkfully good.
 * 8) The idea of a prequel of the Alien franchise is pretty decent.
 * 9) The ending is really terrifying, just after they left the planet, Prometheus Engineer's chest was burst, revealing that was Neomorph alien, and roars before the film cuts to black.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) There's a scene where Shaw and Vickers infamously run away from a giant ship rolling towards them in a straight line instead of out of its path, leading to them being crushed to death. It was so bad that CinemaSins coined the trope "The Prometheus School of Running Away From Things" after this scene.
 * 2) * For some reason, one of the scientists say that the air on the planet is safe to breathe in, and removes his helmet, clearly unaware of the biological contaminants in a planet like that.
 * 3) There are some plot points that show up are not resolved at all, and it tends to be all over the place, leading to multiple plot-holes. Everywhere.
 * 4) * Why did Fifield get lost when he had the map on his arm the whole time?
 * 5) * How did the Engineer know where Shaw was in the climax?
 * 6) * Why was there a shrine to a fully grown Xenomorph in the cave when the ending clearly showed us a 'proto-xenomorph' coming out of the engineer's corpse?
 * 7) * Why did David spike Holloway's drink if he has no emotions?
 * 8) * Why did they pretend Weyland was dead the whole time?
 * 9) Most of the characters are terribly written, and none of them really develop.
 * 10) It tends to pander to the fans at times.
 * 11) The dialogue is horribly cringe-worthy, especially the infamous "I love rocks" line.
 * 12) It also tends to be inconsistent with the Alien universe.
 * 13) There are a couple of gory scenes, but they have zero tension in them. Plus, the film doesn't even have that much tension at all.
 * 14) The religious references have the subtlety of a sledgehammer, especially the cross-shaped necklace that shows up in a few scenes.

Reception
The film received positive reviews from critics and fans of the series, with a 73% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
