Bonus points for an A+ viewing experience at the Library of Congress Packard campus with a great audience and an unhinged intro and Q&A with the director.

Prometheus 2012
4 stars for the cinematography, philosophical plot, and Michael Fassbender playing Peter O'Toole's Lawrence of Arabia. It was the ideal prequel in that it didn't try to copy the original or be the full origin story. But 3 stars for the other characters that weren't compelling or were actively annoying.

Women Talking 2022
This movie was at its best when there were, as its title suggests, women talking. Seeing the women processing, intellectualizing, dreaming, and debating how to respond to the horrific actions of the colony's men held the richest meaning for me. The set-up and resolution of the story were more plotted and contrived than they needed to be, which pulled away focus from the women and their discussions.
