I've watched recently Prometheus (a.k.a Alien: the sequel).
I like the photography in the film, the lights and the way the director Ridley Scott knows how to entertain his audience.
But once again I've noticed the same message behind the movie:
The quest against aging is like "the desire to become Gods". And eventually persons displaying this desire will be crushed, annihilated by their ego so to speak.
For those who didn't see the movie and to not spoil, in Promotheus, it's the story of a very old (and brilliant) man who goes into space with his crew to find the (supposedly) creators of Human race to learn the secret of immortality. Besides they will also meet some aliens (that's the most entertaining part in fact).
I've watched also the sequel of this (Alien the covenant) and this time the stance was more a luddite one: Colonists from Earth trying to reach a new home and eventually they will only meet more aliens...
I've found this movie deeply depressing. I've learned that Ridley Scott is 79 y.o this year. I suspect it explains a lot...
