I only recognised Idris Elba from the BBC cop show Luther and from CH4 slick vampire one off series Ultraviolet. As for the main cast as whole yes they were a good choice.

I know him mostly from The Wire. He played Stringer Bell and was phenomenal.

Robert Ebert gives Prometheus 4 stars:

Tho, that review was a bit strange, there's quite a few mistakes.

Film Brain's review was spot on imho:

That's interesting because I felt the film raised more questions than it answered and a franchise yes without question the door is open for a sequel. The film should have been longer and Cert18 in my book, never the less good but it could have been better.

They rebuilt them in Cameron's honour, free membership to the Tory party plus a slap up Sunday lunch with the man himself David Cameron when you go and see a film.

Try Manchester or Bolton BossMark.
