If you like aliens, movies, movies about aliens and lots of very shiny surfaces you've likely been counting down the days to the release of Prometheus.
After 20 years in stasis, Ridley Scott has rebooted the Alien franchise with the prequel to his 1979 sci-fi classic and he's come back with a killer tagline, too:
"The search for our beginning could lead to our end..."
Eerie, eh?
Of course a tagline can make or break our expectations of a sci-fi movie, with its level of cheesiness and/or ability to scare.
