Re: Prometheus fucking sucked

so asking for a consistent plot line = bullshit now? christ

(Ridley Scott nuttrider voice)Who the fuck are you to want to have a movie that has a consistent plot mother fucker!?!?

It's more entertaining to see a movie with a million plot holes a go home and google and play scientist and make a bunch of blind guesses at what the movie was actually about.

You ain't know man, bitches get 30 second C-sections and go apeshit all while having nothing happen to their insides...

Oh and don't forget the fact that 2 niggas, one of which was a 8 foot all muscle nigga can't escape the clutch of a squid/alien, but superbitch can....

Also, no one can make contact with the engineers peacefully while awakening them from slumber, even when speaking their language, but superbitch is the only one who can!!

GTFOH expecting to get your moneys worth nigga!

Re: Prometheus fucking sucked

Man....

The bitch aborts the alien, doesn't say shit and just leaves it? The Engineers have on helmets that make them appear to look like elephants? Then, they were running from something with the helmets on, but at the end, the one cat runs up on her ship with nothing?

This movie was a mess. If it wasn't related to Alien, it would be pure shit.

It really is! That tech was cool as hell. They had a lot of potential to scare the shit out of you with the android and didnt.

In Alien hell the android was creepy as hell when he wigged out. No one even knew he was an android. When that dude flipped out and decided to stuff a USA today down Ripley's throat I was like daaaam

the in-movie reasoning is still fucked. so the life forms (amoebae, dinosaurs, etc) weren't identical, but humans who appeared a billion or so years later did?

Re: Prometheus fucking sucked

On the real, it doesn't suck that much. It's the execution and inconsistency that leaves some things lacking.

Saw the 12:01 last night. The movie has a slow build up. But overall you cannot deny the religious/philosophical tones in this movie and leaves you discussing way after you walk out the theater.

Prometheus as a whole movie has many deep thought provoking premises that are mind blowing once contemplated. The execution could have been a little better but overall it's a good movie.

If you are a sci-fi nut. Go see the movie.

Ok Dray, Im usually with you on reviews but this one, this flick leaves me cold. I want to love this film but Im just on pause right now. The execution is beside the point but the script could have been worked ALOT better than it was. I was just expecting more than I got and that maybe my fault for thinking the story would just be... bigger. Not the film itself, not more explosions just the script.

Some of the plot holes are explained in other scenes, others were left unanswered intentionally - I get that. The ancient aliens thing. The storm. The deploy. The worms. All that makes sense to me. The psycho killer. Exposition? Where. The plot chewing scene Stringer Bell had. How the evil queen died. The giant pussy squid. Xenomorph? No. Why? Its as if Ridley doubted himself at times and put in a reach around for the fanboys.

well he's wrong on one part. he said the events in Prometheus do not affect the events in Alien. That's wrong because, even though the jockey from Alien is not in the movie, it is implied by when the outbreak occurred, that the jockey from Alien was chestbursted as a result of the outbreak that happened to the rest of the jockeys.

No fam. Hes saying that the chest burster probably already happened a thousand years before. That was a whole other outbreak or maybe something else entirely but the events in this film have nothing to do with Alien... we only thought they did.

peace


You saw how quick the spidery egg layer with the tail's outer core & casing 'fossilized' on dike's face in the Alien flick.
When the 4-ped 1st gen shit that grew out of her chest attacked the SJ who came into the pod looking for her, that shit crusted up instantly too if Im not mistaken.

David also said that there were more ships & that he SAW one so I assumed that there are many others hibernating with big assed ships somewhere.

There was supposedly only about 125 yrs that passed between Prometheius & Alien.

& Maybe the version I had was missing something but I actually never heard Idris kick his famous line from the commercials that the Prometheius has landed


Maybe the jockey shown in Alien was one of the ones running that made it through the door b4 it chopped the last one's head off.

peace

Good points - although I now believe the jockey in Alien is NOT any of the ones we seen in Prometheus. Whole seperate story. The engineers are there, the ship and even a xenomorph but none of that translates into Alien.

I get it now. And I didnt hear the landing quote either. There were also a couple shots from the trailers not seen too.

Re: Prometheus fucking sucked

Also, Weyland's old man make-up was terribly amateur looking. I couldn't believe a big budget movie like this had such horrible make-up work. I thought maybe they had him look that bad because of some other disease, but nope, it was just an actor playing an old man with a bad make up crew.​

I almost said the same thing in the theater. I don't know what Ridley was thinking when they gave Guy Pearce that fucked up old man look. Why not just hire an older actor to play Weyland instead doing a horrible make-up job on Guy Pearce. Their are so many things wrong with this film that its almost makes my head spin. Shit makes you wonder is Ridley going senile?

Re: Prometheus fucking sucked

All of the dead jockeys were either chestbursted or head exploded. did you not see the Xenomorph mural on the wall in the ampule chamber? the jockeys make these things. probably through sacrifice.

No hype ruining for me... I've come to realize that majority of Americans or people in general don't like to think during movies. So when most people say that "it sucked"... or "didn't make sense"... Then I know its a movie that will make you think. I'm still amp'd to see that shit!

There was just so much wrong and out of place. Like the "big discovery" of finding out who Weyland's daughter was...it was just like...Okay, the score is telling me this is really huge info. Okay, that's interesting, but now what...?

Shaw's surgery was alright by me but not the unrealistic running & jumping and all that afterwards.

But I don't believe there were a lot of "plot-holes" exactly, but openings for the sequel to go back to, but they were still poorly implemented and there were too many of them along with too many new unanswered questions like the very beginning scene that was never explained.

Usually prequels answer questions not create a whole bunch of new ones left unanswered. It's almost like they had this script half way written to be it's own movie but then decided, "Hey, you know what would help make this movie money?! Saying it's a part of the Alien franchise and throw some Alien(s) shit in it."

The overall movie was about as illogical as the classic cliche they used when Shaw was running from the falling space craft along it's longer vertical fall whether than just running to the side a couple of feet to avoid getting crushed.

African history and theology. Sad that many of us don't recognize it when we see it. No shots at you. I'm sure there is much of our legacy that I miss at times.

no no no that's not why people dislike this movie at all.

 

[BlkStrength]

Re: Prometheus fucking sucked

The biggest issue with the movie to me is the main plot.

*spoiler*

The invitations the scientist concluded to be in the beginning of the movie. They spent all the time and money to get there and the engineer was hostile with no reason why.

This left the main plot point of the movie unanswered and held over for a sequel.

I think even what you mentioned is actually a part of the sequel. I think they'll reveal David said something to provoke the attack.​

I was thinking that was a possibility. Either that, or he was upset that man has made his own creation.

All they needed was a few subtitles to clear that up IMO.

It seems silly to leave that unanswered.








I could nitpick and say the engineers should have African features (since the first man is known to come from the African continent). But I know not even Ridley will go out on that lonely branch.

Re: Prometheus fucking sucked

If you just watch movies and just watch them, then yeah, it's probably not a good movie.

If you think actively while watching, then it's pretty damn good.

 

[HAR125LEM]

Re: Prometheus fucking sucked

The movie was very "British" in its approach.
But it took the "Hollywood" way out with its ending.

And in regards to Noomi Rapace's "Shaw"...

*SPOILER*​

Being the lone HUMAN survivor, I truly thought that she would have been the "Space Jockey" figure sending the warning in "ALIEN", once she went back in the ship. That would have been perfect segue into the first film. Instead, they had to take an "existential" exit with her (and David).

*SPOILER*​

I have more to say.
Especially about the script.
And Idris Elba's ill-prepped Southern accent.

I will say to see this on the largest screen possible.
It's definitely one of the most visually gorgeous films ever.
The cinematography was beyond excellent.
Shit was purely STUNNING!!!
The score was a bit all over the place for me though.
