Prometheus is one of the greatest film, and I say this as a filmmaker, not an audience. Ridley Scott created something so complex and layered that even he feared to dive deeper. Thatโs why the sequel played it safe, because one wrong move could ruin the structure. Prometheus asks who the Engineers are, why they created humans, and who created them, questions so vast that any attempt to โanswerโ them (like Marvel does with endless tangles) would collapse into failure. Scott mixed the panspermia idea with his own Alien mythology, not for commercial spectacle, but to wrestle with the deepest human questions. This wasnโt entertainment, it was Ridleyโs mind and soul on screen. Thatโs why I call it the greatest: because no one else has built a film brick by brick with such imagination, logic, and courage.
