![]() Some scenes just seemed to be cut short and have little build up, some a little odd as if something was missing. Some of the movie seemed rushed it seemed to flow well until after Holloway and Shaw Love Scene, after that it seemed everything was rushed, as if the movie had another 1.5 hours to go but some had to be cut to get it to fit with only a hour left. ![]() But taking away Weyland Corp and the Other Crew, we are still left with Shaw and David and many questions regarding the Engineers and Xenos that a Prometheus 2 can give us great depth on those subjects without having to include other human crew who in Prometheus was there purely as a plot device to move things forwards. My major disappointment was that the story and plot was so vast, that the limits of time the movie had could not do it justice i felt the movie needed 3 hours. But i now understand why, and thats if the movie gave us the depth of Characters that some deserved the movie would have had to had been much much longer. ![]() Yes i think there was and are a few plot holes, and yes i think some Characters were never really used to the full extent. Star Wars EP1 was a disappointment but then half way through EP2 it started to improve vastly and EP 3 Revenge of the Sith was a Good movie.Īnd so Prometheus has the same scope for sequels. And just as the Original Star Wars Movies did, the prequels had a very hard task to meet the expectations. Really, what do I have left to live for now that I've been exposed for the self-deluding drone that I truly am ?īigDave Deacon Member 10416 XP Jul-04-2012 6:35 AMWell at first i was disappointed and thats because of the scope, Alien and Blade Runner set a very very high bar. Well, given that fact I might as well kill myself now. However, none of that is important to you because you really know that I’m not actually expressing my own nuanced and educated opinions via my posts but rather just displaying for all the world to see that I’m deluding myself into liking “Prometheus”. The visual design of the film connects with me on many levels. The cinematography is phenomenal, especially the exteriors of the planet and the dust storm. The bottom line for me regarding "Prometheus" is as follows:įassbender's performance is one of the most impressive pieces of film acting I've ever seen. However, my second and third viewings of the film allowed me to focus on different aspects and details of the film. I still feel that way about those elements of the film. When I walked out of "Prometheus" the first time I was frustrated with the film and those reasons involved some of the acting and directing related to the last third of the film. ".I believe and acknowledge that this film is flawed." Your reply to my post ignored simple and obvious facts and details such as these gems: I don't spend much time on user/fan driven sites because inevitably there will be the negative Neds and Nellies who will respond to a well considered and written post with something that's akin to "Hey, dude. I felt that way even before you posted a response to my post. Synthetic_69 Ovomorph Member 0 XP Jul-02-2012 5:02 PMTremayne: I have to second what Engineering said about the tone of your posts. ![]() ![]() The events in 'Prometheus' and 'Alien' can be tied together very easily without there being any inquest into all the smaller details.ĭisclaimer: I'm glad to say I'm an old-school fan of 'Alien' having seen it wayyyy back in 1979 at my local 'fleapit' cinema - one of my greatest ever movies - I dont think 'Prometheus' should be seen as a 'enchancer' and especially nt a 'wrecker' of the 'Alien' legacy!! It mystifies me is why a lot of people are dissatisfied or angry about it. The minor quibbles about "it should be a skeleton not a suit" and "it's not as big as the original" or "where did the ship come from?" or "how did they make the eggs", etc, etc are so irrelevant, I fail to see why people are suggesting it's damaged the original movie. I was totally happy with the explanation of the mystery of the Space-Jockey from 'Alien' - all the answers are there. 8 Pints Of Aspen Ovomorph Member 0 XP Jul-02-2012 8:34 AMI watched 'Prometheus' at the weekend - I have to say, as a movie that was supposed to answer all the questions and mysteries, I thought it (and Ridley Scott) did a real good job without pulling the covers off the whole thing and going: "Ta-daaa! See? That's what it's all about!!" ![]()
