Prometheus

[Gazjam]

Whoa there! Summer Glau is Fit (note the capital F) and a whole bunch of other fine things. The Weaver is ok but that jaw man, it just ain't right.

Seem to be going off topic here into realms better suited to the folk in an American Indian accommodation named forum.

The ghost of Mary Whitehouse is alive and well!

Looks like I was the only one who hated it

I believe I sort of rubbished it too Grant. It wasn't up to much really! (in my opinion of course)

No you're not !
I thought it was disappointing, tending to bollocks
Alien remade, not so well with great SFX

I watched it - and have to say have forgotten what most of it was about. Must have been good! But there again, maybe it warrants a second viewing.

It took me a couple of watches to get it straight in my addled brain but it's well worth it if you are a fan of the Alien series of films.
As a prequel it sets things up nicely.

I was eagerly awaiting the TV showing of Prometheus last night. I did enjoy the film but thought it slightly disappointing and I was confused by the beginning.
Who was the big guy standing by Victoria Falls, what was he doing there and what did he eat ? It, obviously, didn't agree with him but what was it all about ?

Dave, the screenplay went through loads of messing up and the editing did even more, so the basic 'plot' was diluted. The young Engineer at the beginning wasn't alone originally and the ending when the awoken Engineer was being 'impregnated' by 'Cuddles' the giant squid-thingy was shortened a bit as well... As for the Deacon, it wasn't supposed to be related to the Alien we all know and love. The second film should help to stitch it all together and it's been rumoured that Alian 3 and 4 will be all but forgotten as neither are really classed as 'canon..'

Got to say I am eagerly awaiting this: http://www.theguardian.com/film/film...gs-to-hope-for
If it is half as good as the original it will be worth watching.

You are not alone.

Prometheus was a massive disappointment for me. I have been a huge fan of Ridley Scott's visual style, but the script in this movie was so weak, the plot so disjointed and much of the acting was so poor it just completely took me out of the suspension of disbelief. The visual effects were 'ok' I suppose. I did actually enjoy it a bit more while watching it on TV last week, but still, it wasn't great.

I suspect I will still go to see Prometheus 2 / Alien x because a) I've got a short memory b) I would really love someone to make the definitive Alien-themed movie (apart from Alien itself, of course)
