I haven't seen the film, but I know of Prometheus who stole fire from the gods and gave it to man, and his subsequent punishment.
Quoting: Ford44 Hey Ford44! Please do yourself a REAL FAVOR AND
RENT "Prometheus" and watch it a couple of times.
At first, it looks like it is going to be somekind
of horror flick...but that's just the opening scenes.
It is actually filled with symbolism and wonderful
special effects. It is actually the movie we should
have seen BEFORE WE ALL SAW THE "ALIENS' SERIES.
The FIRST aliens movie shows the same giants, their
equipment and the vases of eggs that are in Prometheus.
THEY ARE PROMISING A 2ND FILM ON PROMETHEUS that I
can't wait to see. I am TOTALLY hooked on this flick! lol!
Anyways, the film review is very good that I have posted
but, I'm telling your rightnow, if you watch the
VIDEO REVIEW HERE...before you see the actual movie,
you'll spoil it for yourself!
Thanks for the info on Prometheus. The whole reason
to use the Prometheus mythology for the name of the film
is to set up the movie for the viewers...we need to
realize that there are TWO GROUPS OF ENGINEERS (OR MORE)
that have different opinions on the creation of humans
on earth...whether that is a good thing or a bad thing.
Then the TWO GROUPS OF ENGINEERS GOT INTO A HUGE BATTLE
over the whole issue. So we are to believe in the movie
Prometheus that our heros stumble upon the BAD ENGINEERS
--not the GOOD ENGINEERS! Simplistic, of course, but that
sets up the movie for ya! Do rent it and let me know
what you think. Also...stuff ANYTHING YOU THINK ABOUT
RELIGION and watch the movie with an open mind.
Cheers!
