Short review:

Prometheus is an upcoming science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott and starring Noomi Rapace, Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce, and Idris Elba. The film was originally intended as a prequel to Scott's 1979 science fiction horror film Alien, but evolved to explore a more stand-alone mythology apart from the Alien franchise. Filming began in March 2011, and Prometheus is scheduled for release June 8, 2012 through 20th Century Fox.
