When I saw Ridley Scott's Prometheus theatrically, I was a bit puzzled over what to make of it. Like all of Scott's films, it was visually exciting and filled with rich characters. Looking back, I think some of my disappointment in the flick was the fact that for so much of the flick's production there was no explanation about whether or not it was a legitimate Alien sequel or not. If I remember correctly, methinks it all boiled down to "taking place in the same universe," and -- were it really that simple -- I didn't quite understand what all of the previous denials were about.
In any event, Scott has mentioned many times that he's intent upon continuing that story, and apparently in a recent Empire Magazine interview with the revered director he's let it slip that, indeed, Prometheus 2 is soon to be on-the-way.
Minimally, I'll look forward to it. Having watched it again on home video not all that long ago, I found a greater measure of appreciation for it. It doesn't approach Scott's genius in handling other motion pictures, but it's definitely a worthwhile excursion deep into the realm of SciFi ... and, for that, I'm always thankful.
