Prometheus (2012)

An odd prequel to the Alien series, this film has the cool aesthetic of those films but doesn’t quite feel as if it fits narratively with the others. Noomi Rapace and Logan Marshall-Green are an archeologist couple who discover a star map that they believe will lead them to humanity’s predecessors. Soon they and a motley group of scientists and other crew members are on a ship to the far corners of the universe. Anyone who has seen any of the other films knows this is a bad idea. Noomi is given the main job of having her ass kicked and kicking ass in return and Michael Fassbender plays a convincing android trying his best to pass as human. There’s a whole lot in the movie that makes no sense and bits that are left unfinished that it’s not even worth delving very far into. 

Oscar Nomination: Best Achievement in Visual Effects
