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. 1.4s per vote suggests strong instincts. Most voters arrive at this matchup already knowing which way they lean.

Synopsis
