Re: Prometheus SUPER Spoilers!

I will say that in 33 years since the original Alien has come out, Special Effects (and huge budgets) have come a long way.

Just to have cool stars and seeing a distance shot of ship approaching moon was cool.
 
Re: Official Alien Prequel/Prometheus Discussion Thread

Indeed. I like the film but I can see it's faults too. I've read some posts about people hating the film; characters and plot, and saying they will go and see it again. There's no way I'd pay another £8/10 to see a film I thought was terrible.

I'm sure they will also buy the Blu Ray for £20.
 
Re: Prometheus SUPER Spoilers!

It's not that you don't get it...it's just...you're not willing to try.

It wasn't explained because it doesn't have to be.

The creature's life cycle is odd, but it's a very rough form of the Alien's final one.

Holloway plants the seed, which ends up as an egg inside Shaw, acting as "the queen". She lays the egg, which created a giant facehugger, who's only goal is to breed. And so it did. And thus, created a Alien.

Now, why was the thing so big? Rough version? That's all up to you.
 
Re: Prometheus SUPER Spoilers!

Sorry, but it's not that confusing of a movie. It's just a little vague. Some people don't like it. But I don't get why they get mad when movies over explain, and then this one doesn't. It leaves it to you.

that's completely bull, there is a big difference between been vague and creating a confusing mess without a plot.

Why dont you try to answer some of my questions i posted then, or others posted for that matter. Since you seem to understand this movie so well, instead of just taking pot shots at people who dislike the movie.

He got mutated though. That's all that happened.

Now, would I agree with you that the design and stuff could've been better? Oh yes. A weak point. But I liked the scene, more then the actual mutation thing.

If they went with the original plan -- that transformational thing -- that would have been much clearer. As it was last night, he seemed like a zombie. You do know I'm screwing around with that word I hope. Still, obviously the original intent was to have him transform. Why they changed it must have to do with the 'intended sequel' or something; a last minute change because they realized they broke a rule or something.

I like the scene too. Two favorite scenes is probably the hammerpede scene and the 'zombie scene'.
 
Re: Official Alien Prequel/Prometheus Discussion Thread

This will be a release day buy for me. I'll try and see it once more in the cinema as I believe it deserves a sequel.
 
Re: Prometheus SUPER Spoilers!

A) Alien Fans
B) Aliens Fans
C) everyday cinema goers.
 
Re: Prometheus SUPER Spoilers!

Ok, question, the medical table That Noomi Rapace uses to cut out her 'baby' and the thing said it was designed with male patients - ah, wasn't that Theron's lab table? Did I miss something there?

Oh, and I sat next to these two guys that I got to chat with before movie, well, everytime a human died, one of them would start laughing fairly manically.....they were having a great time seeing the dumbass scientists die
 
Re: Prometheus SUPER Spoilers!

BTW was Giger a consultant on this movie? I don't recall any of RS interviews mentioning it.
 
Re: Prometheus SUPER Spoilers!

Idunno how, can someone post up the picture of the egg and Xenomorph hands? What's the deal with that?

:exactly:
Said it way better than i could.
I think most people who had critiscisms of the plot still overall enjoyed the film, i know i did.
 
Re: Official Alien Prequel/Prometheus Discussion Thread

I definitely need to see this once more. For me, Imax again. Once you get used to that format, its really, really hard to go to a normal sized theater

I got the impression the table was actually being used by weyland instead of vickers.
 
Re: Prometheus SUPER Spoilers!

Let me answer some of your "issues".


1) The space jockey with busted chest in Alien was NEVER recreated, i kept hoping for at least THAT MUCH but no.

Well, it was never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever going to be in the film. The story wasn't going to end up there. So I don't know why you thought that. Ridley may have been vague, but he was never vague about what the ending would not have.


2) None of the monster in the movie looked like an alien, when the medical unit pulled that thing out of the girl's belly, i thought finally but no that turned into some octopus crap. Then the final version has the alien head but it is so different than any alien...

Well, no ____. Because it's NOT a Xenomorph. It's an offshot, or a proto form of the creature. Plus, Ridley said the Xeno would never be in this movie. At all.


3) The origin of alien, or prometheus own story - origin of human etc..none were ever explained, not even a tiny scrap of it. Or why they want to kill us, or who they are, or what they are doing here with those things, or what are those things. Nothing nada
Yes it was. Did you miss the beginning? The Space Jockey's used the goo to die, and create life. In order to create life, you must destroy. They wanted to use us to create these creatures. Or use us as incubators. It's up to you to decide. But there was enough evidence to allow you to make up your mind.

4) The whole thing with the old man was again completely retarded, there was no conspiracy or any twist, just him trying to ask for longevity. And the finale when they finally meet a live one turned into another ___show, no explanation nothing...just kills them...oooookkkie
He was going to die very soon. As someone so close to death, and with enough money, and the idea that you could "meet your maker" is all Weyland wanted. He wanted to know why he is here, what comes next. But the thing didn't give a ____. It wanted to kill the humans. For what reason? Yeah, not explained. Hence...sequels.

It's expanding the universe. It's making you THINK..isn't it?
5) And the guy turn into a zombie, wtf is that...

Eh. I mean, he didn't become a zombie. He was mutated. But it could've been better.


6) Also why did the android pour that black ____ into the guy's drink and made him sick(with alien inside?), i thought it was for his master's plan but that wasnt it. So again wtf?

How do you know? You can look at it from different ways.

David was curious. He wanted to see what happened.

Weyland was curious, wanted to see if it could help him, or just curious.

Or he wanted to give Holloway what he wanted. Answers. "How far would you be willing to go, to get your answers? What would you be willing to do?"

"Anything and everything. "

Well, to a non human, that would probably be a good moment to show you what you wanted to know. Here's some mutagen. Enjoy.
7) Not a single thing was explained, i walked out feel like just watched a really bad horror movie...[/QUOTE]

Also didnt the predator create the aliens as explained in avp...do those guys finally turn into predators then?

No. Hell no. Why even bring that crap up.
