An hour before midnight last night, I stepped in to a 505 person capacity IMAX theater to watch the premiere of Ridley Scott’s Prometheus. Although I was an hour early, the theater was already about 60% full, and by the time the movie started, there were nary, if any seats open.
So as the lights dimmed and film rolled, it felt as if we had all just strapped in to a journey far away from this little rock called earth.
