Who were the Engineers in Prometheus? And what happened in that movie?
Ridley Scott burst onto the scene as a director with the movie Alien. It was a cold, dark, journey through space where a crew had to survive an evil corporation’s quest to bring an alien home. Many years later, Scott returned to the Alien franchise with Prometheus, a prequel to the series that introduced the Engineers; the aliens who created the alien, and maybe who created us. Prometheus was directed by Ridley Scott, written by Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof, and stars Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce, Idris Elba, Charlize Theron, and Logan Marshall-Green.
With the advent of this movie, Scott dug deep into the unseen mysteries of the franchise, and also into his own personal wonderment about the world and existence. Today, I want to go over the meaning of the movie Prometheus. We’ll go over the opening and ending, and also talk about that black goo, the monster, and the star map. Hopefully, we’ll all walk away with a better understanding of the film.
Ready? Let’s take off our helmets and begin.
