Following a faint trail of clues, the accomplished archaeologist, Doctor Elizabeth Shaw, and her partner, Charlie Holloway, along with a seventeen-man crew, embark on an ambitious, deep-space scientific expedition.
Aboard the revolutionary space-exploration starship, USCSS Prometheus, the team sets foot on the rocky terrain of the desolate exomoon, LV, in , to investigate the existence of the superior extraterrestrial species known as the "Engineers". But, there, inside a mysterious, complex structure of cavernous dark chambers and an intricate underground system of tunnels, more enigmas await.
Now, a terrifying discovery threatens not only the outcome of the bold outer-space mission but also the very future of humankind. Is the world prepared for the answers to the fundamental questions of human existence? The search for our beginning could lead to our end. Rated R for sci-fi violence including some intense images, and brief language. Did you know Edit.
Trivia Composer Marc Streitenfeld had the orchestra play his compositions backwards, and then digitally reversed the compositions for the final film. This made the music sound unusual and unsettling, which he felt was right for the film.

Visually amazing, but I have to agree with the rest of the reviewers who noted the visual impact of Prometheus.
Truly it's a beautiful, eye-popping movie to watch. The scenery is just immense and the CGI work on the backgrounds - the terrain, ship, and even some of the creatures - is outstanding.
However, as a movie I left feeling let down. In thinking about it, my disappointment stems from three main problems: 1 Character development or lack thereof rather. Of the 17 characters in the movie - yep Noomi Rapace's Dr. Elizabeth Shaw is pretty much the focal point of the movie and is probably on screen 60 - 70 percent of the time.
Thus, as an viewer I got to know her and mostly care about her as a character. Similarly, Michael Fassbender's David is on screen about the same amount of time and I really got a sense of him and his perspective on things. While he may or may not be a character the audience cares about, you definitely get to know him. And I must admit, Fassbender's performance was great as far as I'm concerned. Or, in the case of some fans, forget and hate with a passion. No matter which faction you're in, it's kind of important to go into Alien: Covenant with some information from that previous film, lest you find yourself confused about some of the finer plot points in this film.
Which is why we're going to give you the facts you need to know, while not spoiling Alien: Covenant , but discussing some of the connections that the film has with Prometheus at the same time. So break out your space flutes, and journey with us through the memories of the past, in order to prepare you for the future of Alien: Covenant!
On paper, the purpose of the mission behind Prometheus was to find life beyond the stars, as well as possibly meet our creator. With Elizabeth Shaw and Charlie Holloway's discovery of cave paintings "inviting" the human race to venture into space, a team of scientists, pilots, and a corporate overseer were put together for the journey to LV, the planet that Prometheus takes place on.
Though we later learned that there was an ulterior motive for the mission, and it was all tied back to the man who funded the mission: Peter Weyland, of the Weyland Corporation. We will meet him again in Alien: Covenant , so take note. While the expedition of Prometheus was initially to investigate life beyond the stars, and bump into those who made us, an enterprising mind had some rather self-serving motives for the mission. Peter Weyland, a captain of industry and the man behind what would eventually become the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, wanted to become immortal.
It was to this end he funded the Prometheus mission, and sent along his daughter, Meredith Charlize Theron , as the "company man" on the ground. But, unbeknownst to anyone besides David and Meredith, Weyland himself stowed away on the expedition to try and appeal to the Engineers personally for his immortality.
Needless to say, it didn't really work, but we do get a flashback with Weyland and David at the beginning of Alien: Covenant. Michael Fassbender's David may be playing with biological life in Alien: Covenant , but he started his latest hobby during the events of Prometheus. Upon discovering the black goo that contains the building blocks for the Engineer's biological weapon, he uses a tiny portion of the substance to experiment on Charlie Holloway, after some particularly harsh insults were hurled his way.
This, in turn, lead to the creature that was implanted in Elizabeth Shaw, after she and an infected Charlie had sex. Obviously emboldened by the results, David has moved on to some, shall we say, "grander" experiments in Alien: Covenant.
And much like Charlie's explanation behind why humanity created David's kind, our darkly intentioned android did it because he could. During the events of Alien: Covenant , there's a scene involving David and his flute playing abilities , including a call back to the "Life" theme of Prometheus.
