I missed Ridley Scott's film at the cinema, and first saw it when it came out on video. Wow. Here is a film which didn't do that brilliantly on cinema release. But it went on to become a favourite for a huge number of people - I hear stories of people having watched it 20, 30 or more times.

After months of intense speculation and exceedingly high expectations, fuelled in no small measure by a very sophisticated viral campaign on the internet, veteran film director Ridley Scott's epic sci-fi movie Prometheus finally arrived in the theatres.

Of all the surprises (good and bad) to be found in Ridley Scott's sci-fi spectacular, I was most struck to discover an unlikely stowaway aboard the fated spaceship: 19th Century Polish composer Frédéric Chopin.

A natural beacon for the young, the studenty and the geeky; who else would be drawn to watch the latest sci-fi epic at midnight on a Thursday? Well, in our case, four thirty-something former-geeks sat right in the centre of a half-filled cavernous theatre.

Those expecting a dark, tense, claustrophobic sci-fi horror like Alien will be disappointed. But for anyone with an open mind about science fiction and the grand, sweeping ideas that can be housed within such a film, Prometheus is a beautiful, harrowing triumph.
