With “Prometheus,” Ridley Scott explores the origins of mankind, returns to the universe that he designed with “Alien” and uses the context of a Greek myth as his framework. Sold. Prometheus, the Titan, stole fire from Zeus and gave it to the mortals, ensuring not only our survival but our ability to thrive, produce, flourish and expand beyond the domain of the animal -- and encroach on the creative realm of the Gods. The evocative teaser trailer gives us a sense of the grand scale with which that allegory will play out. --Roth Cornet
