Prometheus

Synopsis

"When scientific explorers unearth an artifact that points to the origins of humankind, they're pulled into the unexpected adventure of a lifetime. But if they falter, the very future of their species is at stake." [Netflix]
"It is set in the late 21st century and centers on the crew of the spaceship Prometheus as it follows a star map discovered among the artifacts of several ancient Earth cultures. Seeking the origins of humanity, the crew arrives on a distant world and discovers a threat that could cause the extinction of the human species.
Development of the film began in the early 2000s as a fifth installment in the Alien franchise. Scott and director James Cameron developed ideas for a film that would serve as a prequel to Scott's 1979 science-fiction horror film Alien." [Wikipedia]
Some questions raised: Are there other planets in the universe on which human beings live? If there are, when will we meet them? What is the difference between a human being and a highly developed artificial intelligence machine? What is the role of religion and science in the evolution of life on this planet?
