Prometheus

Entertaining but dumb as ****.

I completely disagree with this statement. The movie was written to be full of subtext in order to be extremely intelligent. There are many articles out there pointing out the references and siting the texts to which this movie plays to.

I absolutely loved it, and I have loved reading about what the writers, Damon Lindelof and Ridley Scott, got across not just with the action and surface interactions, but with the "in between the lines" aspects of the film. Not many movies are made like this anymore. I do understand how people who are not interested in looking deeper into things and want films spoon fed to them could see this movie as a little misguided. It was everything Sci Fi is supposed to be.

I thought it did not live up to the hype at all.

I was expecting something like the Original alien....slow/moderate pacing with a great story.

I was unimpressed. Not good but not bad.

Interesting ending though with the lead-in to Alien. I was wondering if it was an attempt to connect the two? Perhaps an Alien remake is in the works?

It sort of lead into Alien, except the ship was facing the wrong way, and the alien didn't look right for the beginning of Alien! Alsoo... the planet in the beginning of Alien is TK-421, so unless that is where she is heading next, it can't just lead into Alien. Haha I know.. Alien nerd. I'm hoping they come out with a movie in between Prometheus and Alien to answer these questions!

If they did remake Alien, it wouldn't neccesarily have to be the exact same as the original. Kind of like the Batman movies.

And, let's not get started on how Aliens and the Predators movies have been linked together. What a mess!

(I still enjoy the Alien and Predator movies though)

I enjoy the Alien vs Preadator movies, but like to pretend that they are in no way related to the Alien movies.

I didn't care for it much, and the snake looking things grossed me out

I liked it.
You have to remember its not a James Cameron movie, its Ridley Scott. They make very different types od movies.
I did feel that Charlize Theron's role was inserted.
You could easily have written it wothout her.
NOT THAT I AM COMPLAINING THOUGH !!

I was disappointed. I've been waiting for it since January, and it was only "ok", even with Charlize Theron in it. Aliens is still my favorite in the series, despite Newt's bad acting...

And Ladimang, I read that the plan was to have one or two more movies to complete the whole prequel story, so maybe your questions will be answered in another year or two.

Exactly. It was Ridley Scott, for frak sake. Theron's role kept throwing me off and I kept thinking "why the hell are you even in this film?'. It was all about David and the Engineers, to me.

Really enjoyed it..but had my mind churning.

Someone help me with this. The crew set a distress call out...which I assume was the distress call that MUTHER picked up and set the entire ALIEN movie in motion. However, the signal that MUTHER picked up wasn't clear, needed translated, and didn't sound even close to human (when the crew of the Nostromo was listening to it).

The only things I've come up with are that 1) MUTHER intentionally changed the message to begin with and made it unrecognizable and that 2) The plot of ALIEN has nothing to do with Prometheus as they were entirely two different planets. The planet in prometheus was not the planet the Nostromo landed on (which is why that engineer was never seen with his chest burst sitting in the pilot chair.

Whew...

two different messages and two different worlds. LV 226 and LV 426(or something)

I loved it! I want to buy it when it comes out on DVD. You definitely have to see it in 3D because it really adds to the beauty of it. I know some people claim it asks a lot of questions and answers none, but I completely disagree. I think it answered a ton of questions, it just did so in subtle ways. The words used throughout the movie are very deliberate and spell out the answers to their questions. Great movie!
