    5.0 out of 5 stars Big thing's have small beginnings....
    Reviewed in Canada on October 19, 2012

    Prometheus, the long awaited "prequel" to Alien. I quote prequel because can we even call it that? It sure has many things that can be related to Alien, specifically the Weyland Corporation, but it's a movie entirely on it's own.

    The movie itself is excellent. The characters, some of them dull, were interesting to watch, and it was almost like the first Alien all over again. The film start's off slow, and when it picks up, it never lets go. It draws you in, with relatable information (which is hard to do in a sci-fi action movie, in my opinion) and it never really lets you breathe. The next scene comes in, and the next, and before you know it, the characters are running for their life. The extended scenes (in the special features tab on the menu) give additional spikes in your hearts beats per minute, that is without the commentary. The scenes that are in the movie don't seem to live up to the extended versions of the scenes, but due to time, makes sense why they cut it out. The movie wasn't as scary as the first Alien, but it was just as disturbing, and more so in my opinion.
    The video quality is really good. The scenes I dreaded in the theatre (Med-Pod anyone?) because of people spoiling things for me looked fantastic on the bluray, that is assuming you could actually watch that scene without curling up into fettle position. The bluray looks clear and crisp, and dark scenes are not overly dark, and is well lightened. The 3D presentation is really cool. The bluray and the 3D bluray bundles both being the same price, I don't know why you would pick up the normal version (even if you don't have a 3Dtv, you could build your catalog for when or if you do.) besides the cover art.

    The audio is chilling, and it is really something with the surround sound kicked in. The audio presentation is nearly perfect. I don't want to say perfect, because I don't know the "perfect" audio presentation, but if there was one, this would be it.

    The special features are extensive, with a 3 and a half hour documentary that covers everything that you need, or want, to know about the production, from the first draft to the movie in your hands.

    Overall, the movie is fantastic. The story is a little lopsided, but the video presentation, and the audio presentation, top of expectations. The special features are extensive, and are really interesting to watch. The movie is a definite pick up for fans of the Alien franchise, and I think everyone should pick it up. If you're thinking about picking it up, do it. If you haven't seen it, blind buy it, but remember, there is very disturbing imagary in the film, and is rated R for that very reason!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Prometheus (3D) blu ray…another masterpiece from Ridley Scott with top-notched audio/video transfer!
    Reviewed in Canada on October 10, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    VIDEO (2D):

    Prometheus arrives at blu ray with MPEG-4 AVC 1080p 2.40:1 encode. This transfer is simply stunning. Using Red Epic digital cameras mounted to 3ality Technica Atom 3D rigs, the film was shot almost entirely on Pinewood Studio's famed and enormous 007 lot, allowing Ridley Scott and cinematographer Dariusz Wolski complete control over the lighting of the magnificently detailed sets. The combination of a great camera system, high-quality Zeiss lenses, and precise manipulation of the direction and degree of light makes for an image that is terrifically sharp. The level of clarity is exemplary for a live-action film. Fine detail is ever-present in the textures of the actors' faces, the fabric of their clothing, and the intricacies of the props and set design. The film's distinct colour palette is also outstanding, including the inky depths of the pyramid, the yellow LED lights inside the explorers' helmets, the cool fluorescence inside Prometheus, the spatters of blood. (5/5)

    AUDIO:

    Prometheus’s DTS-HD 7.1 Master Audio lossless track is spectacular, like the video. From start to finish, it delivers room-quaking dynamics, pristine clarity, and polished, realistic, puts-you-right-in-the-middle-of-the-action sound design. From the opening scene on the barren planet Earth we get deep sub-woofer engagement, the lapping, crashing, and bubbling of a massive waterfall, and the thunderous rumble of an alien ship overhead. The sense of all-surrounding immersion puts you right in the middle of the action. The actors' voices, which—besides being well-balanced and easily understood—always reflect the acoustics of their surroundings, flatter aboard the ship, slightly muffled inside their helmets, echoing and wet inside the pyramid. All this is backed up by Marc Streitenfeld's enormous-sounding orchestral score, which alternates between quiet uneasiness and sheer bombast. (5/5)

    MOVIE:

    A team of scientists travels through the universe on the spaceship "Prometheus" on a voyage to investigate alien life forms. The team of scientists becomes stranded on an Alien world, and as they struggle to survive it becomes clear that the horrors they experience are not just a threat to themselves, but to all of mankind. At the end of the movie, Dr. Elizabeth Shaw and David went to investigate the origin of life and why our Maker changed His mind to destroy mankind. Do I smell a sequel to this prequel coming? After checking some websites, my hunch is correct. Prometheus 2 is in early discussion with return of Noomi Rapace and robot David.(movie 4.5/5)

    TRIVIA:

    Prometheus has an estimated budget of $130 million, but grossed $302 million worldwide.

    Prometheus was originally conceived as a prequel to Ridley Scott's Alien, but Scott announced his decision to turn it into an original film. Some time later it was confirmed that while the movie would take place in the same universe as Alien and greatly reference that movie, it would mostly be an original movie and not a direct prequel.

    Director Ridley Scott named the film Prometheus, seeing the name aptly fit the film's themes: "It's the story of creation; the gods and the man who stood against them." In Greek mythology, the Titan Prometheus was a servant of the gods, who stole and gave to mankind the gift of fire, an immeasurable benefit that changed the human race forever (for better AND worse).

    Did you know that the androids' names in the Alien films follow an alphabetical pattern: in Alien it's Ash, in Aliens and Alien³ it's Bishop, in Alien: Resurrection it's Call and in this film it's David.

    PACKAGING:

    In the 3D version, there are 4 discs, each housed in its own flipper-case (Take note: Avengers, not one on top of the other): a 3D blu ray disc, blu ray disc, Special Features blu ray and a standard DVD with Digital Copy. The label in the front wrote: Questions Will Be Answered…Over 7 Hours of Extras…including Alternate Beginning and Ending. Wow, so much more treasures to discover. Good job!

    OTHER THOUGHTS:

    Being an experienced obstetrician, I thought I was pretty fast in doing a Caesarian section: from skin to skin in 10 minutes. But in this movie, the robot beat me by a whopping 9 minutes. Wow! What more can I say!

    FINAL THOUGHTS:

    Any movie directed by Ridley Scott or starring Charlize Theron is good enough for me. Our heroine, Noomi Rapace (as Dr. Elizabeth Shaw) is simply outstanding. Plus, it has top-notched audio/video. It will be grouped next to my Alien Anthology box set. When Prometheus 3D blu ray was first announced, the price was $44.99. Then, it dropped to $29.99, and now finally $24.99, which is of great value. Get it before the price will definitely be going up. Of course, it is highly recommended.

    I hope the above review is helpful to you.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Herausstechender Science Fiction
    Reviewed in Germany on January 4, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    Nachdem in den letzten Jahren der klassische Science Fiction immer seltener wurde und die Fiction immer mehr betont wurde als die Science, überrascht PROMETHEUS endlich mal wieder als ein Sci-Fi Film der alten Schule (auch wenn man auch hier seine Action Dosis bekommt).

    PROMETHEUS wurde sehr zwiespältig aufgenommen als er im Kino startete. Meiner Meinung nach ein Ergebnis der, durchaus undurchsichtigen, Bewerbung des Films als ALIEN-Prequel und dann plötzlich als keines und dann irgend so etwas dazwischen.
    Was sollte man jetzt also erwarten? ALIEN ist es jedenfalls nicht. Auch kein Prequel dazu.
    PROMETHEUS ist tatsächlich ein völlig eigenständiger Film, der aber durchaus im gleichen Universum und VOR Alien spielt.
    Thematisch und stilistisch überschneiden sich die beiden Projekte aber nur am Rande.
    Wenn man sich von dem Gedanken befreien kann ständig irgendwelche Bezüge und Antworten zur Geschichte von ALIEN finden zu müssen, erst dann kann man PROMETHEUS richtig genießen.

    Der Film ist in der Hinsicht ein klassischer Science Fiction, dass er essentielle Fragen nach dem Sinn, Ursprung und der Bedeutung von Leben und Schöpfung als Grundlage hat. Der Ton der Geschichte ist passend dazu auch größtenteils sehr ruhig und mit Bedacht erzählt. Allein das Setting, der Soundtrack und die geniale Kameraarbeit sorgen schon für eine dichte Atmosphäre.
    Auch im sehr klassischen Stil liefert der Film keine Antworten, sondern vielmehr Denkanstöße und Anregungen. Wie will man auch schon auf die Fragen Antworten bekommen, die die Menschheit schon seit Beginn der Philosophie bewegen? Natürlich werfen erste Antworten nur neue, noch größere Fragen auf. "Warum?" kann man schließlich immer weiter fragen.
    Wer mit solch einem offenen Diskurs nichts anfangen kann, der wird mit PROMETHEUS nie warm werden.

    Leider hat der Film dennoch ganz offene Mängel die ihn davon abhalten genial zu sein. Das größte Problem ist Ridley Scotts Schnittwut, durch die der Film auf ein extrem minimalistisches Erzählkonstrukt getrimmt wird. Da sagen manche Figuren nur ein oder zwei Sätze und sollen dadurch charakterisiert werden. Das klappt wenn man den Film zum 2. Mal schaut, und am besten auch ein wenig über den Hintergrund der Entstehung des Films weiß, ganz gut, führt aber beim ersten Schauen vielleicht zu einem Gefühl der Oberflächlichkeit. Zumindest habe ich das von anderen Bekannten so geschildert bekommen. Aber den meisten gefiel der Film bei zweiter Sichtung gleich viel besser.
    Im Nachhinein bewundere ich den präzisen Aufbau der Geschichte von Scott, aber ich verstehe, dass manche Menschen nicht einen Film 2 Mal schauen sollen müssen um ihn gänzlich zu genießen. Ist denke ich Geschmacksfrage, aber wenn man mal darauf achtet ist es schon erstaunlich mit wie viel Genauigkeit Scott seine Geschichte erzählt. Da gibt es halt keine unnötigen Dialoge oder doppelte Ausführungen.
    Die Schattenseite dieser knappen Erzählweise ist für mich das, ohne Zusatzwissen aus dem (übrigens genial produzierten) Making Off, Nebencharaktere, wie der Biologe und der Geologe, sehr flach bleiben und so tolle Szenen wie die Gespräche beim Essen zwischen der Crew, wie man sie auch aus ALIEN kennt, nur sehr spartanisch ausfallen.

    Unterm Strich bleibt PROMETHEUS für mich dennoch einer der besten Filme 2012 und einer der besten Sci-Fi Filme der letzten Jahre! Und ganz ehrlich, man sollte dem Film eine 2. Chance geben, auch wenn man ihn beim ersten Mal nicht so toll gefunden hat.

    Technisch ist die Blu-ray erste Sahne! Das Bild ist so scharf wie es nur sein kann in 1080p und die Tonspur mag zwar nur im englischen HD Master Audio sein, aber auch die deutsche Tonspur ist fantastisch abgemischt und hat richtig wumms, wobei auch Dialoge immer sehr gut verständlich bleiben.
    Die 3D Fassung kann ich leider nicht selbst beurteilen, da mir das Equipment dafür noch fehlt, aber ich habe bisher nur sehr positives dazu gehört.
    Was Bonusmaterial angeht muss ich hier meinen Hut ziehen. Ich bin ein großer Fan von Hinter-den-Kulissen Material und was man hier geliefert bekommt ist ein wahrer Traum. Tatsächlich kann man sich hier eine über 4 Stunden lange Dokumentation anschauen, die wirklich jeden Aspekt abdeckt den man sich wünschen kann und zudem auch dem ein oder anderen den Film ein wenig mehr erleuchten kann.
    Dazu gibt es Tonnen an Artworks Setfotos und Animationen. Trailer und Poster etc. Wirklich toll!

    Von mir gibt es ne klare Kaufempfehlung für die 4-Disc Collector's Edition von PROMETHEUS auf Blu-ray! Jeder Sci-Fi Fan der alten Schule sollte sich den Film wenigstens mal angeschaut haben und für mich sticht er definitiv als ein besonders guter Film aus der Masse heraus.

    Teniendo en cuenta que Prometheus forma parte de la saga Alien, es mi segunda película preferida después de la película original.
    La edición 4K de esta película es tan detallada, que te mete directo al universo Alien. No necesitamos ver al xenomorfo, está referido durante la película, avanzando lo que será Alien: Covenant.
    Como siempre, recomiendo verla con la banda sonora en inglés, el sonido es muy inmersivo.
