In the annals of science fiction and horror, few franchises have captured the imagination quite like the seminal Alien series. The year 2012 marked a significant milestone in the saga with the release of Prometheus, a prequel helmed by none other than the visionary director who had kickstarted the franchise back in 1979 with the original Alien - Ridley Scott. The Prometheus Collection, an exciting cinematic venture, was thus born, unearthing a wealth of backstory and intrigue for fans of the franchise.
The collection, which currently consists of two films, the aforementioned Prometheus and the subsequent Alien: Covenant released in 2017, delves deeper into the genesis of the ghastly eponymous creature that has haunted our nightmares for decades. It seeks to answer the burning questions about the origins of the series' terrifying monster, while providing a richly realized cinematic universe. The Prometheus Collection is a cerebral exploration of our own existence and the quest for our creator, all against the unforgiving backdrop of deep space.
Moreover, this collection is just the tip of the iceberg, with plans to expand the collection to a total of four films. Each installment promises to delve even further into the secrets of the alien universe, unraveling the enigma surrounding the titular monstrosities. While the films are steeped in the lore and aesthetics of the original franchise, they also bring their own unique flavor, making the Prometheus Collection a must-watch for both die-hard fans and newcomers alike. It is a cinematic journey that one embarks on, not just for the heart-stopping thrills, but also for the philosophical musings it offers on our place in the cosmos.
