"Prometheus" is Ridley Scott's new action adventure sci-fi film. If you get the feeling that you are watching "Aliens", you wouldn't be wrong, though Ridley Scott has said this is not a sequel to the "Alien" films. But it sure looks like it. Look for the brief clip in the trailer when an alien creature jumps on a man's face. That is very similar to the "Alien" films for sure. This should be a good film and the special effects look like an A+. "Prometheus" hits theaters June 8, 2012.
Synopsis: A team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race. Source: IMDb
