9. Prometheus
While it will never be an iconic feminist movie like parent film Alien, Prometheus has some pretty strong feminist themes. It has a female lead character who is not alone in a sea of men. Prometheus has two different and equally brilliant female characters and themes of reproduction and womens rights are present even if they are masked by the existence of very Freudian aliens. Prometheus deals with themes of abortion and the right to choose, as we see Noomi Rapaces character, Shaw, struggle to abort her gross, dangerous, alien baby, an event that David doesnt want to happen and tries very hard to prevent. This event parallels the real world of men trying to control a womans right to choose as well as the state of female reproductive rights, the availability of them, and the (male) politicians making decisions about this issue. Prometheus is not a perfect feminist movie, it is not as brilliant as Alien in this theme or as a movie. It was an interesting watch however, had some very feminist themes and didnt make me angry.
