'Prometheus' - In theaters June 8, 2012
- Thread starter xtop
- Start date
What I enjoyed most about this film was the atmosphere, I was constantly looking around at the environments, backgrounds, buttons on the ship etc........it really pulled me into a different world.
Whether that is the case on a second viewing, I don't know, but I'm looking forward to finding out.

personally, i think this was a great tie_in with the rest of the franchise, addressing questions some may have wanted answers to from the start, especially regarding the 'space jockey' storyline. the explanation of the origin of the alien species and the purpose of its creation was also appropriate to the whole mythology, in my opinion.

Had to do a spoiler as the white was readable on the darker quote background!That was an awesome scene
Sorry to post in here but is is sort of related - I've searched on the search but is any country releasing a steelbook of Prometheus with just 2D?

that one made me squirm big time. easily the most disturbing part of the movie.
For me that is a huge understatement especially considering the talent involved.
Why do people accept such poor/average films these days?
This film was dreadful full stop! Plot=dumb&pretentious. Script=downright awful.
Editing=the worst I've seen for a long time. Characters=stupid&inconsistant. Dialogue=as dumb as the characters. Visuals=gorgeous. #fassbender=great
hoping the "for me" on the very begining of the first sentence was also meant for the rest of the sentences(quoted)..

I don't agree with anything you said except "visuals and Fassbender"! But I don't think Fassbender is a patch on Ian Holm's Ash or Henrikson's Bishop! But that's the good thing about HDN, it's all about opinions and everyone's got one!
dude....
Giving yourself a cesarean section? That's pretty F'ed up stuff.
I thought it was sufficiently intense
I enjoyed it, but I was disappointed in its lack of sophistication (dumb protagonists mostly, scientists acting like they are in some teen slasher-horror flick). The pacing could've used some help too (if only they could've included some of those deleted scenes).
I am sure Ridley intentionally botched it so that he can release a director's cut / workprint version and a final cut like Blade Runner.
I'm not, I'm a big fan of the genre, the director and the actors but this is I big failure. However, each to their own as many people liked it although I can't imagine they had much expectation...

I think it was overblown in its own self importance with its theme of creation, brushing off the last few hundred years that have basically proved evolution (Ridley knew he had to address this in the film) with a comment from a character 'that is simply what I believe' when she was asked about Darwinism. Then never addressed again as it messed with the ridiculous plot. In the film fassbenders says 'big things have small beginnings' but in the case of this film and sir Ridley, big theories need big explanations....this film doesn't offer any.
Btw, I know it's only a film but the audience can still need to be treated with some respect. I hope any sequels can fix/enlighten us on the overall story but it will never be able to fix this film, especially the dumb descisions every character makes, and the final line by the main character which sets up a sequel is as dumb as any other in the film.
Hey guys if you want to discuss the movie indepth then please go to the movies discussion thread here. This thread is primarily for discussing the Steelbook release.
