Prometheus

Ride or Die Struggles in semis, clutch in finals
2012 · Science Fiction, Adventure, Mystery · Ridley Scott

Underestimate Prometheus in a final at your own risk. At 50% overall the numbers suggest mediocrity — until you isolate the last round. Ridley Scott returned to his own mythology and delivered philosophy where audiences expected horror. The resulting split — those who admire the ambition versus those who mourn the Alien film they didn't get — makes every vote a declaration of priorities. 1.5s avg decision time (platform avg: 3.5s). No deliberation needed.

Synopsis

A team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.

On the other end of the spectrum: Alien³ at 67% is a comfortable win, while Alien: Covenant at 18% is the matchup Prometheus can't crack.
