**** The Official Prometheus Spoiler Discussion Thread ****

6/10

Did the Engineers create us as a kind of lab rats so they could experiment on us?

What did the face hugger eat to become so ****ing big?

I saw on a rundown of the movie somewhere that 2 crew member deaths are unaccounted for, it's assumed that there may be a cut/unfilmed part of the film where the 2 crew are eaten :)

However remember how quickly the original Alien (1979) grew with very little nourishment. It's widely accepted it was merely hours that had past between Kanes death and the first sighting of the creature full grown.
 
Evangelion's post (and the responses) made it worth catching up with this thread. Thanks :)

Personally, I didn't like it, for the reasons which have been gone over too many times already. I'm not a massive Alien fanboy, nor do I need everything spoon-fed to me. I just thought it was poor.

It looks like a cut scene from the start similar to what is shown in the storyboard.

It is indeed a cut scene from the intro -- essentially showing that the "sowing of life" on planets was a big deal/ritual for them, whereby the young Engineers sacrificed themselves in order to introduce their DNA to the ecosystem.

I think thats the whole point though, he's an android trying to be human but because he's one of the earlier models, he just comes across as quite mechanical in his mannerisms.

I'm referring to his appearance, not his behaviour.
 
Evangelion said:
Well, that was completely unsurprising. It's basically what he was told to say.

Yup, bit of a let down, would have been better if he was baiting the engineer.

Apparently Scott has said on the DVD/BR release there will be an extended dialogue between David and the engineer.

Still think people are being massively over critical of this movie ;)

The cinematic qualities of this film are top notch and definitely carry the film. It's enjoyable and watchable from start to finish.

The problems arise as soon as you spend a half moment thinking about the characterisations, writing and themes of the story (basically the parts that Ridley Scott would not have been significantly involved in).
Damon Lindelof wrote a bad script and he should feel bad. Given his lineage with Lost etc. I think it better if he just gave up being involved in the written word at all and took up finger painting.

Just got back from watching this.

Visuals = 10/10
Script = what script
Storyline = 2/10

Ok maybe I was expecting too much...i was expecting something like Event Horizon. What I got was a theme park ride. Also why cant they get a LITTLE technically correct on the spaceship scenes? You cant hear spaceship engines in an almost total vaccuum.

Also they are entering the turbulent atmosphere of this planet and many of the characters strap in (pleasantly surprised there lol!) but then the Captain STANDS UP and walks over to this DJ stand lmao. Immersion killer. Why do they have these fail moments?

Why didnt they lower the window sheilds for atmosphere-entry?

Having said that the landing sequence was great. The story was one big mess though, WTH was the point of Therons character btw? Also the brunette girl is far hotter than her (the one who underwent a CS in the surgical pod).

rapace fitter that theron? sorry, cant take you seriously now ;) (and i prefer brunettes normally)
 
I honestly don't understand all the fuss about Theron. She's too skinny, she looked androgynous in this movie, and her character was a copy/pasted bitch from Ridley Scott's 'big bag of Hollywood stereotypes.' So where's the attraction?

:confused:
