Prometheus

I was really looking forward to this one. What a waste of time and great special effects. After they land on the planet it gets gradually worse with every passing minute. Half the plot goes unexplained. Ridiculous characters who are stupid beyond belief. I can suspend disbelief when watching a movie, but I refuse to have my intelligence insulted. I can't believe that Ridley Scott directed this.

D (just for the impressive effects)

Re: Prometheus

Dang. Is this one of those movies that only work because the characters are spectacularly stupid? e.g. "Don't open that door, there's an insane clown behind it!" *sound of opening door*

The visuals looks pretty awesome in the previews.

Re: Prometheus

i was REALLY excited to see this too - but yeah, reviews have been far right or far left. it's supposed to be a prequel to alien, right? might check it out since i have a free movie ticket, but i guess my expectations are low now.

on the other hand, a few more weeks until dark knight rises! i also really want to check out the new wes craven movie - moonrise kingdom. looks amazing and has an incredible cast.

For example, you are expected to believe that a crew of scientists would spend 2 years in hyper sleep on an unprecedented deep space mission, only to wait until they are awoken at the destination before they are briefed on the reason for the mission.

Also, every crew member is wearing a camera and locator, but when some of the crew goes missing, no one decides it might be a good idea to check the cameras.

There are a lot of other examples, but they would spoil the movie, in case anyone wants to see it.

In an indirect way, yes.

Re: Prometheus

I saw it on opening night and loved it.
It's not a prequel actually.

It's a separate story in the world of the alien story.

If you liked the look and feel of th alien movies then you will really enjoy the movie.
If you don't then don't bother.

They did set it up nice for a sequel

I give it a B+

Re: Prometheus

This is pretty funny if you have seen the movie. All of these questions were going through my mind in the theater. They even bring up some that I didn't notice at the time. I might have to downgrade it to an D-.
