Customer Ratings & Reviews

Ridley Scott at the top of his game. Great cast and good suspense that surrounds them.

If you are an ALIENS fan, this is a must-watched epic movie. For it is not truly a sequel or prequel movie to the ALIENS franchise, it does have a crossover type story pertaining to the origins of the ALIENS species. There will definitely be a sequel so you must watch this movie to prepare for the eventual sequel to come out in the future.

You have to add this movie to your collection!! Even better in 4K

Love this movie even my wife loved it before even she watched any of the alien movies

I keep returning to Prometheus, and each time I see its flaws, but I still find a lot to enjoy about it. First, it looks fantastic. The settings and the horror moments make it one of the better Alien sequels. The HDR presentation here is great. And the Blu-ray looked very good. But now, you get the deep blacks and brighter details that really bring the film to life. There are plenty of scenes where the image just pops. Detail is there, as well. It looks and sounds great. So, if you are a fan of the film or the Alien franchise, definitely consider giving this one a watch on 4K.

There are few movies that send shivers up my spine like the original Alien and Aliens movies (forget the ones that came after those two!). Prometheus doesn't scare you like those, but it serves a great purpose in expanding on the origins of the Alien franchise universe. And who doesn't love a great origin story?? However, the 4K Ultra Blu-ray is just a fantastic medium for watching movies if you have the proper setup. SO much better than the theatre. People can say all they want about physical media dying off, but streaming doesn't compare to this, at least not yet.

Like my headline suggest they had potential for a big franchise. Ridley Scott originally wanted to just explore the Engineers and the backstory of the Alien universe. He didn't want Xenomorphs buuuuuuuuuuuut we know what happened anyway. The acting is great, the visuals, and the score are great too. I personally love this movie quite a bit. It's a good sci-fi movie that sets up a pretty interesting future that unfortunately was cut short. Now on 4K I will say I personally don't see that big of a difference between this and the Blu-ray. Quite possibly it was just a standard transfer. I wouldn't recommend the upgrade if you have it on Blu-ray.

Ridley Scott returns to direct this prequel to the Alien franchise. Remember the dead being the Nostromo crew found near the beginning of Alien? Well these "bad guy"(s) in this movie are those beings! Them and whatever spores the stupid crew accidentally infect themselves with! Please note- Prometheus 4K does NOT have a slipcover! It was never released in the U.S. with a slipcover, so don't expect there to be one when you buy it! Enjoy the clear picture that 4K has to offer!

I know this has gotten flack from loads of viewers for certain scenes, but what's great about this movie so far outweighs its misfires. (There have always been inept, unqualified, basket-case members of all the ALIEN crews...doing things any rational military or science personnel would never do. To move the plot and create tension. Hey it's a fantasy). Spectacular visuals well served and transferred in 4K.

A decent Alien/ Ridley Scott movie. Looks a lot better in in 4K than blu ray release. Worth an upgrade if you're a fan of the movie.

This is where it all began. This is the Alien prequel that we have been waiting for. It does take a few viewings to piece together all of the different phases of the genetic mutations before it becomes the alien we have all come to recognize. The 4K and audio are outstanding. I also have the 3D version which is mindblowing to see if you have a 3D TV. Why this is being phased out is beyond me?

I have enjoyed watching the movie many times over as each time I see something different. It has that epic look about it, and almost holds the attention of the original "Alien" but I'm sorry, nothing holds up to that treasure. This is a movie for all sci-fi lovers and especially those fans of the "Aliens" franchise. I glad I have it in my collection and believe you'll feel the same.

Fantastic audio and video. Pretty ok movie with stunning visuals and some laughable decisions by the characters

The movie can be a bit confusing and not as impactful as Scott's original Alien but it's still a very good film and has never looked this good on home theaters. I might not have upgrade to this as I already have it on Blu-ray but I had some Best Buy bonus bucks and it was on sale, so it was just to hard to resist.

I didn't know what to think of this when I first started watching. I was more drawn in as I learned more of the origins of the "Alien" and the human race. This is great science fiction. It really grew on me. Sometimes our favorite movies grow on us as we figure them out. Once you see what this movie is about you will see the performances are excellent.

Excellent sci fi movie recommend 100% very good story line, first I purchased the movie in Blu-ray and finally couldn’t wait to buy it in 4k to watch every single detail that I was missing and couldn’t see in the Blu-ray version. This sci-fi movie is for the whole family and will keep you entertained over and over from the beginning to the end.

The Good: -There have been various opinions about the special effects. Personally, I thought the visuals and soundtrack were awesome. They definitely made me favorably disposed towards this film. -Michael Fassbender is spellbinding. The Bad: The main problem with the entire film is that nobody (other than Michael Fassbender) has any plausible motivation for the majority of their behavior. As a result the entire movie is basically just an exercise in convenience, much like your modern B-movie horror flick. **** COMPLETE SPOILER **** Weyland is old and dying. A couple scientists convince him our progenitors are located in a specific solar system based on some old cave paintings found in separate locations. Weyland immediately spends a few trillion on a space ship and fills it full of the most absurd band of miscreants he can find, plus one awesome android, plus himself (shhhh it's an unnecessary secret). His plan?... become immortal somehow. It's just completely absurd. Why is he secretly on the ship, instead of just... entirely visibly on the ship? It's HIS ship. Why does he think wandering up to these aliens and asking them a few questions is a good route to immortality in the first place? Honestly his role/quest is entirely unnecessary and should have either been legitimized with SOME sort of evidence, reasoning, or belief structure, or thrown out. When his quest inevitably and laughably fails even his final quote... is stupid. We don't care enough about his mission to care about its failure. The four scientists are far more maddening and will be discussed from least maddening to "makes me want to curl up into a ball and sob uncontrollably" can-of-walnuts crazy town. We start with the two scientists who discover the... constellation (hold on a minute, why were the aliens pointing out their biological-weapon-factory-planet to a bunch of Neanderthals?? A 20,000 year delayed trap? SENSELESS). Noomi has "faith" which is discussed and never legitimized outside of some sad, pithy dreams, but she has very little sense. She does, however, occasionally react to situations properly. This occasional legitimate action makes her not completely terrible. Noomi's boyfriend scientist does not react to any situation properly. First, he takes of his helmet because... Why not? He gets depressed by finding dead aliens instead of living ones. He also manages to be a gigantic fool to the most dangerous character on the ship (Michael Fassbender drips with menace throughout the entire movie). Afterwards he sees proof that he is infected with some crazy alien eye worms and... ignores it. Ingenious! Needless to say when he is torched with a flamethrower nobody cares. Choosing who is worst between the geologist and biologist is kind of like choosing the least appetizing between two liver flukes. You can't win. The geologist gets lost in a cave which he MAPPED with his OWN devices. Furthermore being that he is... I don't know... a GEOLOGIST, why can't he find his way out of a cave? Meanwhile the biologist, in possibly the most daringly risky action in all of fictional biology, sticks his hand basically INSIDE the mouth of an alien death snake after RUNNING from a "possible life form reading" in the previous scene. What life form was he imagining previously if he's willing to immediately leap into the mouth of a terrifying, albino snake-beast? They both die horribly and nobody cares. I honestly laughed derisively. This is all a long winded way of saying a bunch of stuff happens and nobody cares, seemingly not even the characters in the movie. The science doesn't make any sense, of course, but I cared a lot less about that than the terrifying senselessness of the story and characters. Once the movie chunkily transitions into its horror phase there is a feeling of stupid inevitability to every death as the characters one by one run (sometimes quite literally) directly towards their doom. At the end of the movie (kindly telegraphed by the previews to the movie... thanks marketing!) all I could feel was a general malaise. This feeling combined with the knowledge that this script could have been fixed for about .01% of the money pumped into special effects left me decidedly nonplussed. This movie could have been one of the best Sci Fi epics of all time; instead it's a laughable farce. Worth watching once just for Michael Fassbender and the aforementioned effects, or lots of times if you liked Transformers...

The picture and audio quality is so good for this film. Over 10 years old and it looks better than movies released today

Had never seen any Alien movie....I know. Was really interested in watching all of them so I looked up a timeline, this movie was great and the image and audio are amazing, I've been told it's also one of the best 3D experiences so I might buy that also! Really looking forward to another Prequel to follow covinent!

Prometheus it's great movie if you like Alien horror movie. Even though its prequel to Alien and Aliens movie(s) I can surely put it up there with Alien 1. The only thing didn't fail to be made was that. Theres no steel book for movie. It surely does deserve one.
