Ridley Scott can really deliver sometimes and when you look at his whole run it's pretty incredible even with a few duds.

I feel like Prometheus is one of the more underrated/misunderstood movies of its kind ever, it's freaking amazing, just rewatched it. Find a movie with intense action/horror that has better acting performances from the stars down to the most minor roles, cannot be done. The way they recreated the original chest burst scene but in a totally new way was off the charts.
I've got to push back a little bit on this. The characters did really dumb things just to move the plot along and if you watch Alien and Prometheus side by side, they're basically the same movie with added background knowledge in the latter.

Feel opposite. I went from 7 to 8 to 9 on repeated viewings. Horror/sci fi masterpiece along with original.

Denzel seems wierd for this but maybe this movie has a different tone than the first that makes it work.

Will he have an accent or go American like Kevin Costner in Robin Hood? Ancient Rome movies require everyone to have at least a British accent.

And he'd still be in less movies, animated films and series than Awkwafina.

I've seen that name, but assumed it was a rapper. Googled it, and she is neither the race nor gender I thought. And haven't seen ANYTHING she is in!

Deeper and deeper into old man territory I go...

I'm exposed to much of it through work or I wouldn't know either.

I can see that. I will say test audiences left saying he's a lock for a supporting actor nomination for his villainous role
I think it was the "this is what they believe in, powah" part, maybe it's out of context but to me that was just Denzel saying that, didn't even seem like a character.

Honestly, we really should be using roman numerals for these.
