Director Ridley Scott steps back into sci-fi territory with this tale that takes its cues from the Alien films -- which it was originally supposed to tie in to before growing into its own mythology during pre-production. Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof provide the script, while The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo's Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender head up the cast, which also includes Charlize Theron, Ben Foster, and Idris Elba. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi
