What do you think about "Prometheus"

Post Reply New Topic

probably I would love to see the two going to a far distant galaxy.

This is intended to be a new sequel, as per Ridley scott. I am looking forward to that so much

Yes, if people did not already figure it out there is going to be a sequel. Fastbender and Rapace have already been signed and, Ridley is directing again.

I didn't watch it.

Bob was not in it at all

Rite at the beginning of the movie, why does the giant humanoid alien take something from a box and seemingly knowingly kill him self without making a noise. That really looked dumb/stupid to me.

Why do all the giant humanoid aliens look the same, sound the same and don't make a noise when they fight. When they revive the so called pilot or engineer, why doesn't he ask them something. How does David get to learn a spoken dialect without ever hearing it?

I am by all means an Alien fan, but there has to be some logic to the stupid clones that all seem to run like mice without a sound. Surely they can't be that stupid.

If there is to be a sequel. I sure hope they will focus on giving the ancient/giant humanoid aliens, some proper characters instead of copy/paste personalities and appearances. They shouldn't be grouped together when it comes to attention to detail like with the Aliens as we know them. IMHO

I freakin' LOVED Prometheus, but I had NO idea what was going on. Then again, I generally have a bad time of following plots. I thought it was imaginative, visually beautiful, and the character of David and the main female lead (what was her name?) were fascinating and well-acted characters. I was just really absorbed in it, start to finish. It was a visceral treat for me.

The effects were beautiful, as were the sets. The spaceship was very realistic.

But the choppy, inconsistent script was bloody awful. Say what you like about Kubrick's 2001, but at least the characters don't act this way in one scene and then that way in the next. Also the whole subplot regarding the android bringing the alien goo aboard was silly. He had no reason to do so, and it blatantly went against Asimov's rules for robots.

Hated the way the engineers looked. Tall, white bodybuilders? Really? That's the best they could do?

I DID like the way the movie revealed the face-huggers to be a biological weapon.

I'm probably finding too much fault with giants. But I liked the movie. I don't like change and now I'm obsessing over the giants

The opening scene of the engineer, who melted and his DNA created life, was totally out of place. So much of the script seemed to be from another story. This scene showed the engineers created life on earth. Then later on they decided to bring the face-huggers here to wipe us out. The fact that they created us ruins any suspense regarding the question of what they had to do with life on earth. The decision to kill us off is never addressed. The method also raises questions. We are so far behind them technologically, so why not just use some "Independence Day" type weapon? Why bring the face-huggers here?

And why give them black marble eyes? It negates emotion.

I don't see what the big problem with the Mala'kak was, they were designed to look like what humans could quite possibly develop into. Humans have been getting taller, we will likely lose all hair as it is unnecessary, pale pigmentation due to not needing protection from harmful rays, I can't say about the eyes, but could it be the ability to see in more spectrum, maybe even able to see. Culture showed an interest in experimentation that went beyond personal survival, or possibly even the belief that they live through their sacrifice. The lone active one seen was military so conclusions of common behavior would be skewed. The decision of destruction of humans left to a lone outpost, who results were never noted for failure and finished another way seem to allude to complex politics, destruction may have been for the purpose of biological experimentation.

The purpose of giving them "black marble eyes" was for the pure purpose of giving us the feeling that they are so evolved they may have no emotion. They also give the look similar to as a baby, it is fairly common that as animals become more civil, they take on traits that are common for young, examples such as dogs from wolves.

David's first order was to observe Mala'kak technology for the purpose of prolonging his father's life, all other lives were expendable.

I think the idea with this movie is that motivations of Aliens are not likely to be something humans can understand. That's why it lacks explanations or it seems to have gaps.

I guess presenting it that why can be intriguing and mysterious to some people like me, or frustrating to others.
