Just saw Prometheus(in the Netherlands).What a dissapointing experience... it allmost felt like star wars episode 1 all over again.Ask me anything(about the movie)!
In what way is it dissapointing?The story?
I enjoyed it very much. It was a great experience.
How much of Aliens was an inspiration.Did James Cameron have a hand in this at all? Was there a cameo with him?
You guys frustrate the hell outta me. I don't understand how it could be disappointing if what we saw was pretty good, and if the whole movie was that, then what's the damn problem?Is it just me, perhaps? Because I don't think the ancient aliens plot was a bad thing, I find it fascinating even though it's just a very wild theory. The visuals looked amazing as well from the trailers, and all those things about the Prometheus ship itself got me pumped since I like things like that.
>>23328011relax, most reviews have been pretty positive. Just some guys trying to blow smoke.
>>23328011>and if the whole movie was thatPerhaps it wasn't?
>>23328011Don't listen to these bitter faggots. It's a great movie. Plot-wise maybe not so much, since it borrows heavily from Alien, but it looks amazing, the acting is great, the sets are incredible, the 3D for once adds to the movie, the CGI looks great.Just go watch it, ignore the haters.
>>23328011btwhttp://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/prometheus_2012/
>>23328069That's what I'm trying to understand, but nobody says a damn thing and the reviews I've read (or skimmed, to avoid spoilers) say it tries to mix philosophy and existentialism with the Alien horror, and make it seem like a bad thing... But I don't see how it could be.Most of these reviewers can't write for shit, and I realized it yesterday. Now I get why some of you fall for the obvious buzzwords to insult films, because they do it too.
Lindelof's writing fucking sucks. The usual suspects are all present - quirky snarky characters and dialogue, contrived plot moving at snail's pace and bullshit twists to get them out of the corner they written into.Theron's character is completely unnessessary, she does exactly nothing the whole movie and dies in the end because writers finally understood she has literally nothing to do other than look stern.The only remotely likable relatable character is an autistic android, and that is saying something.
>>23327909prometheus confirmed for shit
>>23328148Alien and aliens had their share of cardboard characters. From what I understand, Noomi and Fassbenders are great, that's enough for this kind of film.
I watched it an hour ago or so, it was an alright movie, but basically it has shitty characters and a very confusing plot.
GODVERDOMME!I've been looking forward to this for months and now it's shit? really? goddamn I'm pissed off.
>>23328148I've never had a problem with Lindelof's writing and find it more convincing and thorough than Whedon's, for example (in terms of sci-fi and blockbusters). The thing is, he wasn't penning his original idea, he was working on a script written by Jon Spaihts which Ridley wanted to turn into something NOT Alien-related. People need to take this into account when criticising him because what you saw on film (whatever it was, I haven't seen it yet) was Ridley's vision and nothing else.But what I know from Alien/Aliens is that most of the characters lack depth. They're only there to advance the plot, and only the main characters (those who actually "care" in this type of films) have any real development.I'll put this out there: is it a pacing problem? Do you think Prometheus would benefit from having an extra cut with more character development?
>>23328208Fassbender is Fassbender. You'd probably pay money to watch him sleep.Rapace is given really shitty material. Its like they couldn't decide whether to make Ripley 2.0 out of her and jerked the character around the whole time.
>>23328255>>23328173And why are you two being so negative? Does this look like shit to you? >>23328115
>>23328264You know the rottentomatoes system is excactly that: rotten. Look at the average.Metacritic: 63/100but I'll see it nonetheless.Dutchfag/ what was so dissapointing? Did you go to the IMAX in pathe Arena? is it worth it?
/tv/ isn't letting me post really well, so I try it like this.Things i liked>visuals(allthough the v.ir.a.l. video looks better in my opion)>fassbender robot>unused alien designs from gieger(allthough you kind of get why they didn't choose them in the first place with the older movies).things I didn't really like>no payoffs to any intresting plot point(so much stuff happens in this movie, that could be really intresting... but it are all throw away ideas that get tossed away after a couple of minutes without a payoff).>the prequell connection to ALIEN( it really doesn't line up... the spacejockey is the biggest problem).>a cop-out at the end(ala the planets of the apes rise...or what is was called).>fucking star-trek esque music, at the most unfitting moments.SPOILER! stupid all looking peter wayland spacegod(enginer or spacejockey) wakes up and is fucking retared and tries to kil everyone like he is from a 80ties horror movie
>>23328318Two questions OP:1. Was it the biggest dissapointment of the millenium?2. Is cinema dead?
>>23328311Metacritic is a bad site for reviews, rarely any film (unless it's very well regarded everywhere else) has a good score in there, which is why RT works best since it has average and overall reception.
>>23328256No, it wouldn't. Its just long enough right now not to turn into a snorefest.My main problem with the movie is that the characters do not act like themselves.In Alien we saw space truckers acting like space truckers.In Aliens we saw marines acting like marines.In Alien 3 we saw inmates acting like inmates.Fuck, even in A: R we saw mercenaries acting like mercenaries, unethical scientists acting like scientists and Weaver acting like Weaver.Here we have a crew of scientists on a multi-billion dollar space ship acting like a street gang, with no resemblance of discipline, chain of command or even basic safety precautions. What if the space jockeys made a new strain of flu virus? Airborne - all crew dead in 12 hours. But of course, it created so much drama and conflict like man-machine or father-daughter questions. Which ultimately went nowhere.
>>23328318oh allmost forgot... PLOTHOLES! so many damn plotholes.
>>23328344>which is why RT works best since it has average and overall reception.That would be the case IF they didn't have the tomatometer front and center with large font, and the avg. rating [which is more important] in very small font, comparitively. It gives the illusion that the tomatometer is more important than actual ratings.
BUT IT'S LIKE, SCI-FI. AND IT'S LIKE, RATED R. THAT'S SO TOTALLY COOL. YOUR OPINION IS JUST WRONG
>RT works best since it has average and overall reception.http://www.rottentomatoes.com/critic/david-edelstein/
>>23328341allthough it was dissapointing... I did enjoy watching it with a buddy of mine(and alien fan)... it was by far not the worst movie ever, but it deserved to be better... much better.because they had great ideas in there somewhere, but they just cut them of befor they could have become intresting.
OP how about the 3d? good/bad? did you see it in IMAX?
>>23328378Well, sadly only 3 characters I kind of liked were Fassbender's cyborg, Theron's head of wu and, strangely, Rapas - she is basicaly, Ripley, but different one.
>>233279093d was average.. not mind blowing.. if there were 2d, go for 2d. not worth the 2 bucks more
How much of the space jockeys are in the movie and who/what are they?
>>23328555Space Jockeys are that feel aliens.Not even fucking kidding.
>>233285551 Alive.. in stasis.Others (dozen) all dead, fucked up by there by weapon (the xenomorphs)You don't get to know something about the engineers. they don't talk much, they are very aggressive.
>>23328572please tell me you're kidding. please.
>>23328572they look like "that feel guy"?Was the 3D as good as in the Avengers?
>>23328605avengers better, even though it was post processed.
Somebody PLS JUST TELL THAT THERE ARE XENOMORHPS AT THE END FUCKIN TELL IT TO ME :/
>>23328548What are you talking about, the landscape and hologram scenes looked fantastic in 3D.
>>23328555Not much, but they have some screen time. Their inner conflict, I mean in group, not shown though. Hopefuly, we'll see a sequel and more things about them.Also, what does people who saw movie think about that liquid? What was it? Friend thinks it was a synthesized weapon, while I think it was more of a powersource on biological parts.
>>23328622yes there areno they look a bit differentbut they act the same way
>>23328632well yes, like in every 3d movie with landscapes.. That's how 3d looks like. But the overall experience of 3d was not there, there was nothing special
>>23328555don't read for plot spoilers the spacejockeys are our creators, so you could say spacegods, but the crew finds them all dead but one! In the end peter wayland and david wake him up, and want to chat with him about the meaning of life and a cure against death(etc)... spacegod acts like a typical slashermonster from the 80ties and tries to smash hit everyone to death it was allmost comical bad....
>>23328689My hope in this movie is quickly diminishing.
>>23328689why is our Alien God a retarded killing machine that looks like "that feel guy"? Answer this question OP, please
Seems to be a weapon.But the caves looked like thombs
>>23328717There was an inner conflict in group of jockeys. Part didn't want to exterminate humanity, other still insisted. Guess where does surviving one belong.
Time to pull out the Indy 4 defenseIT'S JUST MEANT TO BE FUN, AND YOU'RE NOT MEANT TO TAKE IT SERIOUSLY, PLUS THE OTHER ALIEN MOVIES WERE ANY BETTER, TAKE OFF THE NOSTALGIA GLASSES.
>>23328011
>>23328763so he awakened at the beginning of the movie?He is the ancient evil that was awakened?Shit I had high hopes for this movie..
>>23328656I think it was basically programmable life/DNA or some shit. Maybe it's what the jockey drank at the beginning. The ooze in the urns was either 'programmed' or stored the genetic information for bio weapons, thus everything getting all fucked up when it makes contact with the ooze. >>23328717Don't they find out that the Jockey's were going to kill humans 2000 years before the movie, but they had trouble with the bioweapon and most of them at the outpost died?I think that one was a soldier, and the only one left. He wakes up and he's surrounded by the race that he was assigned to kill, probably figured it was an ambush.
>>23328773Alien established good lore with lots of mystery and intrigue in them. This is part of the reason Prometheus was so hyped, because of that 2 minute space jockey scene in Alien that sparked much debate and discussion and where the xenomorphs actually came from as the other 3 movies didn't really tell much.
Let's face another question.1) Why are there maps on earth of military base2) Why exactly is the ship waiting there, when they intended to go to earth.How is probability of the intersection of both facts. IMO none. It is not explainable.The Engineer, had no reason to stay 2000 years in stasis etc
>>23328622 at the end there is cop-out, and they show a xenomorph(not vanilla...kinda horse faced) bursting out the last living spacejockey he got attacked by a huge squad facehugger alien at the end... so they kinda fucked up the alien lore, but not really because it's not a advance vanilla alien ------kinda thought that the spacejockeys looked like bodybuilder voldemort(after a nosejob)
>>23328804He was awakened near the end of the movie after almost whole crew died already
I just came home from Prometheus aswell.The trailers were indeed EXACTLY all the plotpoints.And the ship flying in the Space Jockey IS the climax of the film.Also: Space Jockeys confirmed for as big human/ancient aliens.Xenomorphs are biological weapons
It's kinda weird, but every time I glance over the spoilers and read stuff like the engineers are our creators and see someone saying "omg that's disappointing", I feel conflicted, because I don't understand what's wrong with the idea, and certainly don't see what else they could do with it.They're fucking advanced aliens. Even if they didn't create us, they certainly wouldn't care about a bunch of monkeys in a spacesuit poking at them like animals. I mean, seriously, I'd love to hear some ideas, because I don't understand what the fuck you guys wanted.
>>23328717Major plot spoilers.In the first scene it is implied that life in the oceans of earth started from some Space Jockey DNA left there by the rotting corpse of one of them. Yep, its that retarded. Halfway into the movie, characters find out that our DNA equals theirs. Rapace' character figures out that the planet they flied to is a military installation used to develop a bioweapon to wipe out all life on earth. When they wake up the last feel dude he tries to take off in one of the ships filled with xenomorph eggs but Elba rams him with prometheus and forces him to land. Fassbender understands their language and navigational systems, and in the end Rapace takes him and one of their ships to find their homeworld and demand answers why do they want us dead if they created us
>>23328847>mfw the whole audience gasped when David gets his head torn off
>>23328689This fucking retard conveniently forgot to mention that David said something in an ancient language that pissed the engineer off. He then tears off David's head and starts to bash everyone's skull in with itThis scene was fucking awesome.
>>23328847YOU FUCK YOU FUCKING FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK I THOUGHT I HAD UNTIL TOMORROW TO WORRY ABOUT THIS FUCK
>>23328821I'm guessing that the planet was just a jockey outpost in general. Maybe it was used as a staging point to launch investigations of Earth? Ridley Scott mentioned that humans had been periodically 'upgraded' mentally and physically by visiting jockeys. They may have left the carvings as what Shaw thought, an invitation. Then there was the civil war or whatever.
>>23328904Shit, I'm sorry bro. Blame the fucking ganja I'm smoking.
Is it bad enough to warrant a plinkett review OP?
>>23328717Remember how creepy and awe inspiring the space jockey looks in Alien?The cool H.R giger design?it was just armor, in Prometheus they take that shit off and become That Feel humanoids that look almost exactly like humansOh, and basically nothing is explained about the origins or intentions of the Space Jockeys, all you won't even know what planet they're from after this movie Enjoy.
I laughed hard when I heard people saying that they didn't understand the movie when I was walking away from the cinema. Fucking retards.
>>23328869There's a theory that creation was an accident though. Opening part of the movie doesn't realy show reasons. Could've been an execution.
>>23328935yeah. fucking plebs and their pleb minds. They need to go back to The Avengers for the 5th time and clap some more am i right?
>>23328958Well yes, or lindelhof just fucked it up
>>23328937>mfw David was all "You still believe in God after all of this?" and Elizabeth goes all faithfag on himFucking Lindeloff
Saw this too.It was an honest mess. It was very engaging to watch, but most of its characters had inexplicably dumb actions with common sense failing multiple times throughout the film.
>>23328902David: "I am david and this is my boss Weyland he desires eternal life so could you give that to him?"Engineer:"You woke me up for this shit? Have it at you."
>>23328937See? That's a good setup for a sequel. From the beginning they said the movie was going to answer some things and raise more questions, and I'm sure they're aware of all the things that some perceive as "plotholes", which they'll answer in coming sequels. The frustration I perceive is that people assumed Prometheus was going to be a standalone film and not a setup for upcoming material.
>>23328983>Elizabeth goes all faithfag on himShe actually raised a good question, where do the engineers come from?Stay autistic, Clarence.
>>23328927>>23328927back at my place I talked with my buddy about it,... maybe a plinket review would be a little quick. But we thought it could happen, allthough I think they will cover it in half in the bag.
>>23328990> characters responded stupidly to the situationThis fucking autist argument again? It comes up every time a film comes out. They're not you. They're different people. They act differently. They're not purely rational beings. [spoilers]They're fucking movie characters.[/spoilers]
>>23329003Honestly if the same people will be writing sequels to this I'm not sure if I want to watch it. It's like sci-fi 101, every trope and cliche.
>>23329000
Just saw it (in the netherlands aswell), the movie was basicly nothing, no good dialogues, no interesting characters, no good story telling.
>>23329003the movie has not only plotholes but glitches too. It is not coherent. It is almost like 10 people wrote 10 different parts of the script, with knowing the other parts well.Simply put there are logical errors
One of the first characters that dies solves one of the biggest questions: Why?Remember David asking Charlie why he was created. And Charlie responded: "Because we can?"
>>233289340/10No one could be dumb enough to change an HR Giger design, thinking they could do a better job, that level of stupid isn't humanly possible.
>>23329003> They'll answer the questions> The mysteries will be solved> Lindelof
>>23329068The script was originally written by Spaihts as an Alien prequel, then Ridley wanted Lindelof to remove the direct hints to Alien and make it a separate film. So yeah, it was written by more than one person and with different ideas in mind.
>>23329072Am I the only one who actually cheered at Charlie incineration scene? I mean how can you make a character that of an insufferable cunt in 10 minutes of screentime?
>>23329087This argument, again? All the mysteries were solved, you just didn't pay attention.
>>23329072>my face during the scene
>>23329067YOU have no good dialoguesYOU are not an interesting characterYOU are not a good story teller
>>23329043It's actually pretty bad if you accept repeatedly stupid behaviour, which is the sign of a lazy script/ story - but whatever floats your boat, pleb.
>>23329112That's why I'm a scientist and not a writer.
>>23329087yeah, it's all show. Lindelhof didn'T event fucking know what he wrote the previous chapter..Just an example of logical failures.1) All the people get tracked from the ship.2) The 2 idiots lost there path in the cave, but they actually had tech equipment, you couldn't get lost. How does that work?3) The captain is surprised that the 2 idiots didn't come back, but if the stupid captain would turn around and take a look at the hologram he would see that both fuckers are still in the cave. It's stuff like that all over the place.
Is the atmosphere at least as good as alien and blade runner?
>>23329141Yes.
>>23329125If people on the films went "the logical way", there would be NO story at all.>why didn't the eagles fly the ring to mordor?>why didn't they just shoot him in the face?
>>23329156That's what matters then. Blade Runner didn't have good dialogue nor plot either.
>>23329112You're an inanimate fucking object!
>writer from lost>storys shit,everything else is fineGee what a fucking surprise.
>>23329159Sometimes there is the "not so logical way", somethings there is the "I am a braindead imbecile what am I even doing way".
>>23329159Guess you never watched/read anything with good writing. A shame.
>>23329141No, sorry. Genuine answer. It's very action-adventure-y, and it lacks those movies' dense atmosphere and/or tension.
>>23329159That's the point, of course it would have been possible. But a bit more work, and a more talented writer maybe. Lindelhof was used to make stuff up in LOST, and never bothered putting it a working coherent context. Same shit here. Nothing really connected. All other alien movies were more coherent .
>>23329177That's not a line from the movie, right?
>>23329178HE DIDN'T WRITE THE FUCKING STORY, IT WAS THIS GUY, THIS GUY!!!!!JESUS FUCK /tv/ GET IT TOGETHER ALREADY!
I liked the atmosphere while in the ship.
>>23329204I thought it looked fucking beautiful.
tfw the human race was created by "that feel guy"
>>23329214Go away, pleb.
>>23329204>It's very action-adventure-yThat's exactly what I was afraid of. The trailers made it feel that way but I hoped that the actual film would be better. This better not be a high brow avatar film.
Prometheus was shit....all style and no substance
>>23329221in an interview lindelhof said, he changed stuff. And this is exactly what the film shows. destroyed writing. It misses stuff which I hardly could imagine happening if only one person would set it up.
>>23329221Whatever you say faggot.
was wel een goede film, maar ik had er meer van verwacht.Het verhaal was bijvoorbeeld veel te simpel
>>23329141no... not really. Well visually maybe(really a maybe), but the use music destroyed some great looking scenes(felt like star treck allot of time).
>group of scientists discover strange construction>it might tell us something about creation of humanity>some stupid fucks get separated from group>everything goes bad, tentacle beast awakes>attacks group>other part of the group finds them>they meet a tall strong stranger deeper in construction>stranger isn't friendly to humans>stranger fights tentacle beastThis summer in all theaters near you Alien vs Predator
I'm really sad right now. If TKDR and Hobbit will fail, there is no hope for this year
Asking a female: Are you robot? = sex
Remember all those promo shots of Theron in a spacesuit?Her character spends a whopping 30 seconds of screentime in it.Enjoy.
>>23329265Mag jij van papa en mama nog zo laat opblijven?
>>23329258Source or bullshit, because Jon Spaihts said on Twitter that pretty much what he fully wrote was there, and that there were only changes in settings and characters names.
>>23329277Django unchained?
>>23329277You're forgetting other films such as The Master, Django Unchained, Lincoln, and so on. This year has plenty of potential.
>>23329298Oh yeah there is that. I thought it's a 2013 film
>>23329290absolutely. she isn't important at all. Just a time filler.
>>23329282>this scene
>>23329277lol what a retardas if big blockbusters were the only good films of this year
told you all about it 2 weeks agoyou didnt believe me
>>23329277It didn't fucking fail. Why do people expect a masterpiece from every goddamn movie they hype?Also look at what the concept supervisor of Moon just said on Twitter. All of you /tv/, READ THIS.
>>23329292ja ik ben flink geweest vandaag
I was worried, but reading what people are saying this sounds fucking awesome. Is this the plot?>God like race of technologically superior humanoids accidentally caused humans to exist, left evidence on earth, humans eventually evolve and investigate the locations the map points to.>These humanoids are what the space jockey was, and the ship on LV426 was a alien humanoid ship crashed.>These engineers created the xenos as the perfect planet cleansing bio weapon.>Weyland sent prometheus to investigate the location of the starmap they found on earth and ended up in the middle of this bioweapons project causing a clusterfuck and getting mostly everybody killed.>Implies just prior to ALIEN weyland corp knew contact was made in the LV starsystem..(events of prometheus) setting alien up perfectly, as this now explains how the fuck ASH seemed to know about the lifeforms on LV426 and how lethal they were.
>>23329268
I'm a transformation fetishist, which is to say that I get sexually aroused by witnessing people transform into other beings. In that regard, is there any reason for me to see this movie?
>>23329337Of course it fucking does, I don't know what the fuck was /tv/ expecting, and they still haven't replied my question >>23328869.
>>23329325That's no excuse. This film could have been at least as good as those two films. It's a shame that it didn't turn out that way.
>>23329360The question is: WHY?
>>23329325This.I think im going to leave /tv/ until i go see this,you all are acting like a bunch of idiots.
>>23329325Honestly: I haven't seen Alien and Blade Runner, and still think Prometheus was shit.
>>23329351No, not really.
Patrick Wilson is in every fucking movie I see lately including this one.
Why is it considered wrong to expect a movie to be very good nowadays? Are we really surrounded by endless sea of shit, and lowered our expectations so low, that now we'll praise everything that's slightly better than shit?Why? Are movies like Alien and Blade Runner impossible to be made in 2012?
I hope the writer from lost gets banned from writing this shit.
Everybody confirmed, Prometheus is now officially shit. Only good for the pleb of the pleb
>>23329378Ridley ScottThat's why. The man isn't perfect but if he could put out great films like Alien and Blade Runner then he could have put out another great sci fi film with Prometheus. We were all hoping for that. The genre has grown sour over these past decades.
>>23329408They don't even understand the movie.
>>23329387I can't blame you, bro.I'm glad I got to see the movie before the Americans did.
Were the death scenes at least good?What happens to Catelyn's sister, the old woman from Game of thrones?
>>23329425The story is really fucking simple. People are still staring too deep into it, hoping it has more depth, but it's just shallow as fuck.
>>23329446What? Lysa is on Prometheus?
>>23329351yes, but(like said befor) it could have been an intresting plot point...but they end it abrupt something intresting for the group dynamic is happening...can't let that happen set it on fire
>>23329408>EverybodyWhat the hell, are you being paid for bashing Prometheus? What's the point?
>>23329446I don't know who it is but there are only 3 female characters in the movie and the oldest one dies like this: Got punched in the chest and flew a few meters in the air.
>>23329469>7.2It's going to lower.
jesus christ why do i keep coming to this shitty website
Oh well, at least we still have all the superhero reboots, those look exciting
>>23329446Nobody here knows who you mean, you see how shallow the whole film is. I had to think 3 times before I knew who you might have meant. Seriously, this is one of the best inidcations that eveything went wrong
>>23329475Well, that's it... I expected something more violent... Fuck this movie and fuck Ridley Scott. I seriously hope he dies soon.What about Technoviking?
>>23329484Seems like those numbers mean the world to you.Are you autistic?
>>23329399>Are movies like Alien and Blade Runner impossible to be made in 2012?Why are people insisting on comparing stuff to the classics? That stuff was done in the past, and Ridley Scott himself (yes thank you >>23329416) said that he knew the challenge and wanted to give it a try instead. You're all trashing it on the basis that it's not "the modern masterpiece we've been waiting for", instead of taking the movie for what it is and appreciate it for that. Again, if the trailer is the movie (basically) I still don't see what's wrong with the concept or the plot itself. It makes up for a good story, specially since they were adding a particular subplot that they felt it gave it a broader scope. This is basic sci-fi, in the terms of what Moon was. They explored particular concepts that have always worried humanity using a sci-fi context, raising and answering questions as they go forth. Moon's plot was very simple too, don't fool yourselves. The reason why you hate on this is because you expected more from something you were already familiar with... If you knew the basic story, why were you expecting a surprise?
If there's any mass effect fans on here the ending sounds alot like it,i hope this isn't going to turn into a fucking trend,ugh,its sort of ironic too since the writers of the third game said they were inspired by JJ abbrams,fuck that guy.
>>23329469If it drops below a 6 it's a failure considering it's franchise.
>>23329488Typical murrikan pleb
>>23329469>fanboys that haven't watched the movie yet rating it 10/10
>>23329515Helmet gets melted by the acid/alien blood and then he turns a zombie and goes into a rampage in the ship and gets killed by a flame thrower and a few bullets
>>23329540it was irony and I'm not american
One thing I can't get out of my head. Medical personnel tried to get sleepin Rupas.Then why the fuck didn't they follow her after she broke free? And they act like, oh, ok. She escaped, well, happens.
>>23329560Worst, yuropoor.
>>23329536>>23329549Why do you think it's going to drop? Actually I'll ask this: why do you want it to fail? Because you thought it was bad and you cannot conceive the idea that others may think it's good and go see it for themselves?
Is it better than the AVP movies?
Well, /tv/?
>>23329529This man is the only one making sense in this thread. I wasn't looking for the greatest film that changed everything we know about film. I was looking for a sci-fi horror. That's it. Why does it have to be the greatest film you've ever seen? Alien's plot was pretty simple too. So are most movies. Just take the movie as it is and don't hold it up to some standard that it has to be or it's complete shit.
Fuck everyone who didn't like this movie. You don't know shit. I haven't seen the movie yet but it's going to be good no matter what.
>>23329607>>23329268It has better actor and looking better as well. But is mostly same.
>>23329607>asking about non canon sequels that aren't even considered for the filmWhy don't you ask in terms of Alien/Aliens/Alien3/Alien Resurrection instead?
>>23329393>>23329393Thanks bro.
>>23329578I don't care if it fails or not, I watched it and disliked it a lot, but it wasn't a big deal for me, since I didn't have any expectations at all. I just dislike fanboys, for anything, shitting up things, calling it the best thing ever, but haven't even seen it.>>23329616Full image
>>23328869look that wasn't the problem! not at all. But it feels like it was written by 10 people that didn't knew what the other 9 people where writing. The movie had some intresting plot points, but they never did something with them... they just moved on to next thing that happens(to drop it the second it get's intresting).SPOILER!!!________>some on get's infected(don't let the suspence of what is happening evolve for the sake of an intresting story/plotpoint... no burn him befor it get's to intresting.>woman get's pregnant with a cocktopuss dicksquad alien, remove(which was a intresting scene, I must admit)... but leave the alien hanging and do nothing intresting with it(oh..jeah let it rape the spacegod at the end).>one of them turns on too SPAAACEZOMBAAAH infected thing, starts hitting and attacking people for a couple of seconds and get BURNED to death.>wake spacegod up, he just smashes everyone like a retarded slasher movie monster.the list goes on and on... they should have just picked a couple of things and could have worked with it(alien did it... and it worked in it's simplicity)david is the only intresting plot thing...and even he could have used a better story/plot around him.
>>23329691Again>metacriticNot a good way to assess any film, and you should know this already.>I just dislike fanboys, for anything, shitting up thingsThe only ones I see shitting up on everything are those who claim the movie is SHIT based on ridiculous, vague expectations. I ask again, what were you expecting? And I don't mean "something better", I mean in specific words, what did you expect them to deal with?
>>23329578Nobody wanted it to fail, but it's just not that good, and only delusional fags have a problem admitting it's just passable entertainment.Perhaps an apt comparison would be Scott's own 'Robin Hood' after 'Gladiator'.
>>23329282Who can resist the Elba, man?No one, that's who.
What about Elba's character? How does he die?
So charlize is going to have two movies competing with eachother,wonder which one will win..
>>23329717>it feels like it was written by 10 people that didn't knew what the other 9 people where writing.I already addressed that above >>23329096>>23329760>only delusional fags have a problem admitting it's just passable entertainment.And what is the problem with that? Why were you waiting the second coming of Christ?
>>23329782Crashes the Prometheus against the Juggernaut. Dies in the explosion.Gets to fuck Charlize Theron beforehand. Died happy, then.
>>23329808Hopefuly, she didn't get a crush on him.
>>23329740See >>23329717, I hated the story because it was empty, and this nederflikker explains it pretty well.
A thing I dont understand is the probable sequel. Only shaw and david survive. I don't think 2 people on a hostile alien planet makes a good movie.
>>23329846Good pun.
>>23329852Actually all that does is point out things he sees as "problems", the question was what were you expecting? How would YOU personally go about writing a film like this one?
All I read about the movie sounds really dissapointing... Fuck you /tv/, you promised me this would be good.
>>23329862Can go different directions. One is their world investigation and release of infection there and other one - ship comes to investigate where Weyland dissapeared and meeting new alien mate. We still have like 20 more years before Nostromo.
>>23329890Go watch it yourself, the complainers were clearly expecting a movie just as good or better than both Alien and Blade Runner, which was a bad expectation.
>Milburn.Killed by Hammerpede.>Fifield.Mutated by black liquid. Torched and shot by the Prometheus crew.>Mercenaries.Killed by Fifield.>Weyland.Head trauma caused by Space Jockey.>David.Beheaded by Space Jockey. Survives, though.>Ford.Thrown off the bridge.>Weyland's bodyguard.Thrown off the bridge.>Janek, Ravel and Chance.Die in crash between Prometheus and the Juggernaut.>Vickers.Crushed by the Juggernaut's debris.>Space Jockey.Impregnated and killed by Star Beast.>Shaw.Survives.
So... Is Cameron confirmed for part II?
>>23329878I wasn't expecting anything, and I'd make one of the worst writers ever, but I'd probably go for a story that fit together like a puzzle, rather than having lego lying all over the floor and nothing happening with it.
>>23329874His death crushed her feeling though, is better one.
>>23329928No he's too busy with Avatar 2, 3, and possible 4.
>>23329911>>23329878bullshit I didn't expect alien or bladerunne niveau movie, I did expect a propper storry though..
>>23329913It sounds like that crash fucked most the cast up,at the risk of sounding 16,did it look cool atleast?
>>23329931You were right about possibly being the worst writer ever, because that doesn't say anything to me. At least I have ideas, and yet I think this one is very, very good.>>23329968>I did expect a propper storry though..What "propper storry", man? Gimme something, c'mon. Throw ideas at me, I want to see if those who criticise the plot so much at least had theories on their own, and weren't just building expectations for themselves.
>>23329981The crash itself doesn't do that much damage to the alien ship it just falls to the ground then rolls a bit and falls over.
>>23330003That sounds pretty funny.
>>23329408
>>23329994>"you couldn't have done it better, admit it"You are this type of faggot.
>>2332868980 ties lol. i wish i had 80 ties
Oh and the creators of Moon are having a blast discussing Prometheus on their respective Twitter accounts, seems like they didn't have a problem with it and weren't expecting the masterpiece you built in your heads.http://twitterr.com/ManMadeMoon (Duncan Jones)http://twitter.com/GavRov (concept/FX artist of Moon and sci-fi buff) And no this isn't an appeal to authority, I'm just showing you the opinion of people who have worked on sci-fi films and have worked with scripts and ideas, so they probably can judge this one in a fairer way.
How can you blame the writer alone and not the director for going along with it?
Would this have been better?>Earth. The beginnings of our world. In an opening montage, we watch as our primordial planet is terraformed and bioformed by seemingly all-powerful, Godlike alien entities…the ENGINEERS. The seeds of life are introduced to Earth for the first time by these fantastic extra-terrestrials, who have the power to create and manipulate both mechanical and biological matter at will. The montage ends as the earliest genetic recipe for life is sent forth from the Engineers’ massive, towering CITADEL in the dark desert.>The desolate desert of Africa: 2085. The prehistoric ruins of the Engineers’ Citadel is discovered by a corporate construction team tasked with building a nuclear-powered comm-array in the wilderness. Amidst the ancient remains are found highly advanced, biomechanical relics with are determined to be of extra-terrestrial origin. This catches the attention of the mega-conglomerate WEYLAND-YUTANI CORPOTATION, who finances a massive archaeological excavation of the citadel in the hopes of reverse-engineering the alien biotech for financial gain. Running the operation is MEREDITH VICKERS, a cold, calculating corporate executive, who recruits intelligent and independent astrophysicist DR. ELIZABETH SHAW to head up the research team. Assisting Dr. Shaw are xenoarchaeologist DR. THEO ZEDMORE and her fellow astrophysicist DR. LOGAN. Shaw uncovers the secret of the citadel when she discovers a chamber of star charts, which seem to lead the way to the home planet of the Engineers. Also uncovered is evidence suggesting that the Engineers had a database of all life on Earth, and may even have been responsible for its creation, including Man.
>>23330047No, I'm trying to understand why was it so disappointing and everyone says "X was bad, Y was meh, what happened in Z was blah", but I fail to see how either of these are bad. I mean, you must be comparing it to something, because I don't understand. The more I read (yeah, even your complaints) the more I feel like I want to see all that for myself and experience it.
>>23330092>In a partially-submerged MANHATTAN, Vickers meets with Dr. Shaw and an OPO, (Off-Planet-Officer), CAPTAIN JERAMIAH JANEK, and plans a space mission following the discovered star charts in an effort to find and make first contact with the Engineers. For the scientists and explorers onboard, it will be a journey of discovery, but for Vickers, it’s merely a way of obtaining new technology so that Weyland-Yutani may retain the lead in the competitive race to establish colonies off-world.>The depths of space: 2090. A highly-advanced, top-of-the-line ISRV (Interstellar Research Vessel) PROMETHEUS decelerates as it reaches its target solar system. The vessel’s crew emerges from their cryo-chambers. Along with Elizabeth Shaw, Theo Zedmore, Logan, Meredith Vickers, and Captain Janek, the crew of the Prometheus is comprised of: First Officer MUDOW, Security Officer RAYDEN HOLLOWAY, Navigator CHANCE, Helm Officer RAVEL, Operations Android DAVID 4.0, Political Officer ALDRICH, Medical Officer FRANCIS, Engineer YURI, and Technical Officers SIENA, LETTUP, and TEMBROOK. The crew gets acclimated to their removal from cryo-sleep, their muscles in atrophy from five years without use. Holloway assists Shaw in her physical therapy exercises.>The crew prepares for arrival at the home planet of the Engineers. Shaw and Holloway are instantly attracted to each other, initiating a romantic relationship. However, as they enter the Zeta 2 Reticuli star system, Prometheus encounters a massive disturbance which hadn’t appeared on scanners, one even more powerful than a black hole: a wormhole in space. Prometheus is sucked into the wormhole, and after a harrowing ride, emerges on the other end. The ship crashes on a barren planet, which the damaged computer system identifies as the mission’s final destination.
>>23330072Why did I end in "El diario de América"?
>>23330072What's wrong with hoping for something more than mediocre?
>>23330105>The crew sets about attempting to repair the Prometheus, while Elizabeth Shaw leads a recon expedition to investigate nearby structures, which turn out to be a cavernous Engineer temple. Inside the temple, Shaw’s team encounters a bizarre BIO-BRAIN, a biomechanical humanoid face set within a towering pillar, as well as thousands of seemingly primitive URNS. David takes several of the urns back to the vessel for analysis.>Investigating the urns, David discovers that they contain the genetic material for thousands of species within a viscous liquid called BIOFORMER which can rewrite any living organism on a cellular level. Basically, possession of the substance gives its owner the power to create life. Vickers interacts with David and seemingly innocently leads to the Bioformer infecting David through a cut in his finger.>Within the depths of the Temple, we find several living Engineers who discover the transgression of the Humans, and remotely rewrite the stolen Bioformer to make it into a weapon. The Engineers capture Holloway and run a number of horrific experiments on him, injecting him with the Bioformer and allowing him to return to the vessel.
>>23328415It is, user ratings are usually retarded for movies that aren't underrated cult classics, controversial experimental love/hate flicks or popcorn blockbusters. The masses are uneducated and uncultured. The problem is that the number of critics isn't very high and they also have their reputation and prestige to worry about, but overall, it's an average of people who do have knowledge and experience with film.
>>23329387>>23327909>>23328011>>23328109>>23328837>>23328869>>23328876I think this movie sounds awesome. Fuck you /tv/ it sounds like exactly what I was expecting
>>23330122>Subsequently, the crew of the Prometheus begins to fall victim to the now weaponized substance, as the “carrier” Holloway injects Ravel, Zedmore, Francis, Siena, Lettup, and Tembrook. The victims begin to lose their humanity and slowly transform, experiencing nightmarish visions and hallucinations and making pilgrimages to the depths of the Temple to receive instructions from the Bio-Brain. Holloway, in particular, is resistant to the transformation, fighting against the alien influence with his feelings for Shaw and his responsibilities as security officer. Meanwhile, David finds that the Bioformer is making him into a biological being…making him Human. The crew also finds that their trip through the wormhole took them back hundreds of millions of years and they are actually stranded on primordial Earth, having moved through space and time.>Eventually, as alien influence and the continued lurking presence of the Engineers becomes clear, the crew of the Prometheus turns on each other as the infected human victims fully mutate into PROTOFORMS: vicious, skeletal alien monstrosities which proceed to assault the unaffected Human crew through the halls of the Prometheus.
>>23330150>Mudow, Logan, Chance, Aldrich, Yuri, and Janek end up being destroyed by the Protoforms. In a strange, erotic ceremony, the Protoforms seemingly mate with the Bio-Brain and each other to create thousands of EGGS, the first of a new generation of the monsters. Meredith Vickers is revealed to be a sleeper CONSTRUCT of the Engineers, who are still active in their far future and Shaw’s present due to the time-travelling abilities of the wormhole. Vickers was grown in an Engineer lab but escaped, fleeing to Earth while always wanting to her find creators and take their power. The Engineers activate Vickers’ secondary GENE PROGRAMMING, and she transforms into an ALPHA PROTOFORM: the STAR BEAST.>t last, the two remaining crew members, Elizabeth Shaw and David, seek to confront the Engineers in the Temple. The Godlike entities prove to be utterly evil, and David sacrifices himself as he’s dissolved in the LIFE SEED BIOFORMER which is the basic genetic recipe for MAN: the former android David, it turns out, is the basis for all Mankind. Shaw is captured by Holloway, but he regains enough of his humanity to remotely activate an Engineer vessel for Shaw’s escape, then holds the other Protoforms and Engineers at bay. As Shaw escapes, she finds herself in the midst of the initial Engineer terraforming of Earth which we had witnessed in the opening montage, chased by the former Meredith Vickers who is now the gigantic, horrific Star Beast.
>>23330114WHY WAS IT MEDIOCRE HOLY SHITIf Alien was made in this decade, you'd also think it was mediocre and would say it's "predictable" that the alien killed all the crew from the shadows, and I daresay you'd complain that it wasn't fully shown either. The reason why Alien is a classic is because it established some tropes, so it's not AT ALL surprising that a movie that claims to be a prequel to follow similar cues since it revolves around a similar background.>omg it's predictable that the monster did this and that even though the previous movies were exactly like that
Know what best parts of movie are?Jockeys themselves and that space zombie position.
>>23330114Nothing,but acting like its the worst movie of the year so far is fucking stupid.
>>23330164>Shaw makes to her escape vessel which blasts off for the wormhole, Holloway fighting the Star Beast with both falling into the wormhole and disappearing. An Engineer PILOT detaches from the Temple in a FAMILIAR VESSEL and follows Shaw, but is lost in the wormhole. Shaw emerges above the Earth of her present day; however, she’s deemed insane and responsible for the loss of her expedition and confined to a psychiatric hospital by the Company. It’s implied that there are at least some of those who believe Shaw’s tale, but have silenced her as part of a cover-up.>In the final scene, we see the vessel of the Engineer that was chasing Elizabeth Shaw emerge from the wormhole in the Zeta 2 Reticuli star system, still in the prehistoric past, and crash on a nearby planetoid, the Engineer Pilot helplessly lost and the EGGS in the ship’s cargo hold stirring as something alive moves from within…
>>23329994>What "propper storry", man? Gimme something, c'mon. Throw ideas at me, I want to see if those who criticise the plot so much at least had theories on their own, and weren't just building expectations for themselves.like I said a couple of time befor, they HAD a couple of intresting ideas going but cut them of when/or even far befor they got intresting.like:>a devious robot on board with a hidden agenda.>people that got infected by an alien disease/organism.>a woman getting pregnant and giving birth to an cocktopus alien.>an outerpost with dead spacegods and bio-weapons called the xenomorps.>wayland industries hidden agenda.All intresting for sure, but they didn't work even one idea out... they could have just picked 1 or 2 of those ideas and fleshed them out, and I would have liked(what I don't like is a mess in story telling...sorry that in my opinion the movie failed in telling a propper storry).btw. the editting/music/roomscans/helmet camera/ ship supervision... took allot of tension out of some scenes too..
>>23330180>>23330164>>23330150>>23330122>>23330105>>23330092Back in the day, people criticized this fake plot because it had timetravel and was too similar to Alien in the terms of creatures. Now I wonder what they will say...?
>>23330126Same here,sort of disappointed about how the characters sound,but im going to judge the movie myself,wonder how RLM is going to react to all this..
>>23330176THIS>>23330180Am I the only one who thought this fake script had some cool ideas?
>>23330209You wanted a second Alien... All of these are Alien tropes, my friend. Specially the first one. All of it screams Alien and Aliens.
>>23330242So wanting to have a story worked out in a movie screams Alien and Aliens?
>>23330242but those thing where, in prometheus... they just didn't flesh them out. I hated the fact that they showed a xenomorph at the end though, because it felt like a cop out(maybe that helps?)
Who activates the distress beacon?
Honestly, the film looks pretty okay based on the trailers, not great. I never understood the hype. The only thing that impressed me was that fassbender video, and he's apparently the best thing in this film, go figure.
>>23330304Shaw dispatches a message saying they should never visit the planet again. And she would search for the origin of the aliens.
>>23330278No, repeating the plot of a movie is wanting said movie over again.>a devious robot on board with a hidden agenda.Ash>people that got infected by an alien disease/organism.Kane (although, didn't this happen in Prometheus, according to the trailers?)>a woman getting pregnant and giving birth to an cocktopus alien.Kane again, and wasn't Shaw pregnant too?>an outerpost with dead spacegods and bio-weapons called the xenomorps.Alien>wayland industries hidden agenda.Aliens>>23330302I honestly don't follow the complaints. I'm gonna have to wait and see it for myself, but saying "they didn't flesh them out" when the elements were clearly present in the film doesn't make sense to me.
Ive just seen it: great visuals, attention to details which is rare nowadays, nice atmosphere, ancient astronaut arc turnes out very good (see the intro), based Fassbender and Pasace. Plot was a bit lacking, lost potential, fuck Vickers and Weyland, most dissapointed about lack of philosophical strength.>8/10 better than AvengersAlso some anon said fuck this godawful board; I agree.
>>23330353What this nederflikker is trying to say is, they added the stories he mentioned, but they didn't work it out, they included small bits of it, but when shit was going to get real, they just completely disregarded it and added another story to it, making a clusterfuck of stories, without an actual story.
how hard is the sci fi in this movie?
>>23328260Elizabeth Shaw has all the makings of an engaging and interesting character, but the story never really explores her beliefs and how events affect her beliefs.I remember watching the first season of Lost and being intrigued and gripped, until it became apparent that Lindelof and co were not interested in the Lord of the Flies aspect, the social dynamic, the battle for survival, the need for purpose, and ignored those in favour of endless smart-ass twists and turns which led to Lost journeying up its own bottom.
Already saw it and I loved it you guys suck dicks
>>23330401Yeah but lost sucked asses. This was good.
>>23330393Okay, that makes more sense, thank you. I'd say it might benefit of having an extended cut then, unless said parts weren't fully explored on their own to merit one.
So now space jockey rape machine then? I thought I heard that's how shaw gets pregnant? Do they still find a space jockey helmet before they meet an actual space jockey? And what are they called in the film? The terraformers? Does anyone say spacejokey?
>>23330399Not very hard to be honest.
I'm probably going to see this with my stepdad,hes watched all of ridley's movies so i hope he's not disappointed..
>>23330449Shaws boyfriend gets infected and fucks her and she gets pregnant. Also they find a decapited head. Later they find out its a helmet and the real head is under it. The name for the aliens are "The engineers".
http://www.empireonline.com/reviews/reviewcomplete.asp?FID=137119>There is no accumulation of dread, none of Alien’s haunted silences and primordial drones that slid beneath your bones. The film is too busy, too talky, too noisy by half. Awe, wonderment and terror need atmosphere to flourish. For all the CGI grandiosity, there is a flatness to the mood. Prometheus is strangely impatient, irritable, rushing its set-ups and squandering drama.Scott confirmed for half-senile old fart whose lost what made him great. Same as what happened to Spielberg.
>>23330509>SHAW studies and scans the room and her sight focuses on a really DARK part of the room. The tall large BEING steps out of the shadows. SHAW begins shaking and whimpering in fear. The BEING walks past her; staring down at her as it does. It then walks over to MILBURN and picks him up with ease.It carries his body over to an open Sarcophagus and places him inside. capcha: satisfied. mameth (the name of my band)
>The BEING looks up at the ceiling and brings down the top of the Sarcophagus and locks MILBURN inside.It hovers it's hand over the Sarcophagus and the Sarcophagus begins to light up and shake and a loud generator noise gets louder and louder. The BEING then turns it's head and stares at SHAW. It walks over to the frightened whimpering SHAW and produces a small thin knife like object and cuts her arm. As her blood drips down, the BEING holds the small organic blade to her flesh till the blade is covered in her blood. It then makes it's way to an organic table where a small saucer shaped device sits. It drops the blood onto it and within seconds a Hologram rises from the device and shows the blueprints of SHAW'S DNA. A startled muffle comes from the BEING and it turns to face SHAW. The BEING takes off it's helmet and rests it on the table.It then walks over to SHAW and stares at her.
>>23330565So it's pretty much the opposite I hoped it would be. May as well have been directed by James Cameron.
>SHAW'S expression tightens with fear and she begins crying. The BEING has a humanoid face and head but at the same time looks nothing like Human. The BEING then backs away to the doorway and watches SHAW as snake like wires sliver down from the ceiling and rise from the floor. SHAW looks up and down at these seemingly intelligent snake like wires with panic and then looks over at the BEING who doesn't move and watches her with an emotionless sinister glare.SUDDENLY two wires strike out and stab into her Butt cheeks, another one stabs and sticks to the top of her spine, another to strike and stab into her knees and as SHAW screams out in pain and agony a much more thicker and longer snake like wire slivers up her leg and upper right thigh.From behind SHAW we can see the thick pulsing and throbbing snake like 'Penis' shoot up with force between SHAW'S legs followed by a loud howling scream.>>23330509Doesn't she like not want his dick tho? Ahh why were the fake scripts better than the actual movie
>>23330565Sure sounds like it. That's a shame. I guess it's Avatar all over again. Which is fine. I enjoyed it for what it was.
>>23330647>Ahh why were the fake scripts better than the actual movieThey weren't. They were terrible in comparison, repeating all what Alien/Aliens did and adding timetravel to it, which further confirms the complainers were just expecting the same film again.But hey, the catch-33 situation is if Prometheus did that, it'd have been rated negatively for repeating the same plot... So what now?
>>23327909>posted 12:18>expects us to believe>people believe4/10, i didnt believe
U GUYS ARE DUM I actually really liked this movie. Better than Aliens and Alien 3 and Alien: Ressurection. It can live among Alien like predators did for predator.
>>23330712>Better than Aliens and Alien 3 and Alien: Ressurection. That's not a terribly difficult feat to achieve.
>>23330706Me neither bro>>23330677The sad thing is that's really true, People are just never happy anymore. They're just cynical assholes. They'd only be happy if it was the dark knight raisessses
The plot to this sounds extremely similar to Alien.There's just some Lost style mumbo jumbo that will be revealed in the sequel(s) about why man was created in the first place/the jocky planet.I see no problem with what I've heard about the plot.
>written by master troll Lindelof>thinking it was gonna be goodits like you never watched LOST
>That feel when you loved Prometheus and come back home to find nothing but hatred on /tv/I just wanted to share my joy
>>23330712fuck off, films over 2 hours and you;re posting on 4chananyone posting in the next hour is a fucking trollbut fuck everyone on this board, they've ruined it anywaynot that anyone is right, just trying to kill the film before it's even saw
>>23330742It looks like The Dark Knight Rises will have more atmosphere and tension than Prometheus.
>>23330756>and here's to you mrs robinson jesus loves you more than you will knowdry your eyes mate
>>23330718True, but I still think it can live among Alien. Now when we watch Alien and we wonthave to watch sss and 3 adn resurrection after we can just watch prometheus and then alien and be like ooooo. I get it it wasn't as good as alien. But that movie was a fucking masterpiece that challenged the horror medium of it's time. To me this is sorta like bioshock infinite. The same idea as the original good one just in a whole weird newish way
>>23330760>>23330774>AtmostphereWell for one Prometheus is about terraforming and the other one is about weird super serious batman in chicago that sounds like cookie munster. Technically Prometheus has more atmosphere.
>>23330774>This isn't a carNo, it won't.
Does Fass-bot die? I think the film would have ended best if he was the sole survivor, and as the ship starts the long journey home, he sits back down to watch Lawrence of Arabia again.
>>23330760>>23330774>AtmostphereWell for one Prometheus is about terraforming and the other one is about weird super serious batman in Chicago that sounds like cookie munster. Technically Prometheus has more atmosphere.>>23330760You should have known never to trust /tv/. Movies are all personal preference anyway. Thanks for spoiling everything you old grouchy bastards.>DUH NEW JUAN AIN'T AS GOOD AS THE 1979 MASTERPIECE WELL HE'S FUCKING OLD NOW LIKE YOU GUYS HE TRIED OKAY.
>>23330630>>23330617>>23330647WHOA MAN HOLY SHIT WHY WASN'T THIS IN THE MOVIE? THIS WAS WAY SCARIER THAN "AHHH SMASH" No cool laser guns or anything.. pew pew
>>23330861>>2332790910/10
I got it! Meth II Shaw is the "original" Space Jockey!!!
>>23330820No, he lives. Apparently he's fucking immortal
>>23330882My dubs do not lie!
>>23330887When he gets beheaded do we get white goop?
This thread sucks. Why is /tv/ full of haters? When's the last time any of you liked?
So what's an honest consensus on this movie so far? Like, 8/10, or what?
All I want to know is how are the deaths? Any squirmy shit?
>To me this is sorta like bioshock infinite
>>233309429.0 on IMDB86%7.1 on RTI'd say it's a solid 8.
>>23330780>To me this is sorta like bioshock infinite.But that game is going to be better than bioshock.
>>23330942If Alien is a 10 our of 10 than yes this is a solid 8 about average good film. better than Mib 3 or Avengers
@DamonLindelof... You're welcome? RT @MickBim Hey @DamonLindelof, you are the second person to rape my childhood after George Lucas ! Congrats !
>>23330994He only retweets haters.
>>23330968>Implying Prometheus wasn't better than boring original and loose canon white knuckle action blockbuster sequall. Isn't it obvious this thing would end up like dreary avatar awesome? I mean the niggas were practically bronies. James Camerons Aliens was like Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead compared to the original dropping the traditional scares and replacing it with "GO GO GO GO!" action. That's why /tv/'s upset they wanted classic alien scares with GO GO GO GO. One out of two ain't bad /tv/
>>23330994Who is this guy?
>>23331017>GO GO GO GOAMERICA FUCK YEAH!
>>23331032The guy who co-wrote Prometheus.
>>23331045Who wrote the other half?
I knew this movie was going to be a coagulated mess of shit as soon as they brought this guy in. WHY?
>>23331079http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Spaihts
>>23331089Because, according to Lindelof, Ridley Scott is a LOST fan.
>>23331094EWW THE DARKEST HOUR?!/ WHYYY
You guys are faggots quit believing these trolls and go see the movie and decide if you like it or not. I loved it.
>>23331089>In an attempt to "move the island" to safety, one of the others uses an ancient device on the island that not only moves the island physically but also moves it to another point in time, while simultaneously teleporting that other to a desert in Tunisia.>A long time resident of the island that serves as the main setting of Lost, the true nature of the Man in Black was long shrouded in mystery. It had been described by Lost producer Damon Lindelof as "one of the biggest secrets" of the mythology.>Biggest secrets, never explained.FUCK does he even know?
