Prometheus

Watched the Blu-Ray of Prometheus today and what an awesome movie it was.

Prometheus is the precursor to the Aliens movie, thus you find out what exactly the aliens in the movie "Aliens" are all about.

Some scientists find evidence of a planet which has visited Earth tens of thousands years ago, and they go there, with the ship Prometheus. Once there we learn that not everything is as it seems, and there's some hidden agenda being played out by the robot crewman but we don't quite know what it is just yet.

As expected it goes on to show what exactly that planet was about and how the "Aliens" came to be. The purpose of that far away planet was so that some alien race could engineer a bio-weapon at a safe location, and they'd use that weapon of mass destruction on Earth. They never got to use their WMD since things went out of control and they had to evacuate the planet, but the "Aliens" are still there, dormant, just waiting for the right opportunity to rise again.

By the end of the movie they find a living species of the alien race that engineered the "Aliens" and they try to talk to him but he wants none of that and goes on to kill people and try to resume his original mission which was to destroy planet Earth. The crew of Prometheus makes a hard choice and decide to stop the alien ship from going to destroy Earth by ramming Prometheus into it.

At the end of the movie 1 of the scientists with the help of the robot pilot another one of the alien ships and try to go to their home world to ask questions as to why they would want to destroy us, which is stupid considering they also have the WMDs on that ship. If an alien race wants to destroy our planet and you are carrying WMDs on the ship, you freaking destroy them FIRST before they get a chance to ever finishing their original plan. Stupid scientist.

It was absolutely a great movie. IMDB has it rated at 7.5 and I give my personal rating of 9.0!
