The rest of the crew includes Charlize Theron, radiating icy intimidation as the administrator from the private corporation funding the trip, and Idris Elba as the ship's sexy, smart-alecky captain. Everyone else is probably a goner. If you've ever seen this kind of movie, you know this is not a spoiler. When they all finally awaken from their two-year sleep and arrive at this gorgeously severe land, they (naturally) stumble upon secrets and perils they never could have imagined. Some of them are gooey. That's about all we'll say about that because you really should experience it all for yourself. But the paranoia becomes palpable, and a lot of its impact comes from how dramatic and dazzlingly seamless the special effects are. Scott makes crisp, immersive use of 3-D in "Prometheus," providing encounters that would seem too close for comfort anyway with a nerve-wracking sense of claustrophobia. The reason for the journey may seem a bit muddled, but what happens once they get there is undeniably powerful. "Prometheus," a Twentieth Century Fox release, is rated R for sci-fi violence including some intense images, and brief language. Running time: 123 minutes. Three stars out of four. ___ Motion Picture Association of America rating definitions: G -- General audiences. All ages admitted. PG -- Parental guidance suggested.
