8. Prometheus



I have heard a lot of buzz about this movie and I overlooked it for a long time now, as I generally have not been interested. But a few months ago, my media class watched Alien and I was left mesmorised. Why I had not seen this movie sooner? If I was around to see this at the time of it's release; it would definately be one of them special films I would watch about twice a year and not get tired of seeing and gets better with age. As soon as I understood this was going to be the prequel, my prejudice views changed and I have now jumped on the bound wagon.
Set in 2085, we are given a fresh new batch of scientists (Guy Pearce, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron) are sent to the infamous universe to research some newly discovered imagery Aztec culture, but when extraterrestial meet human our race becomes at risk of being destroyed. As original director Ridley Scott commented, "the film share's strands of Alien DNA, so to speak" the film clearly has it's own statement to make and with visuals and digital technology rapidly improved since 1979 this is certainly the one to see for all sci-fi fans.
