Hi, Shiori
I just saw a great science fiction film called Prometheus. It takes place in the late 21st
century, and it’s set on a spaceship and on another world. Two scientists find a strange star
map in Scotland. They decide to follow the map, so they fly into space with several other
people, and eventually they find a new world. And there, in a huge building, they find a
giant, strange alien and – well, lots of exciting things happen. In the end, only one or two
people fly away from that world. But you should see it yourself. It stars Noomi Rapace,
Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender and Guy Pearce. Noomi Rapace is fantastic!
All the best, Matt
