Official "Ridley Scott's Prometheus" Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

[Devil_666]

When I run down a hill, I always do it Oppa Predator style.

^ That's worse then anything in Prometheus.

Watch the movie again, I've seen the scene in question. The screen says "100% match" when they run the Engineer's DNA.

Photoshop is fun, I get it.

Unfortunately, many people like myself own the BR and know its not true. Good troll, I mean try though. Unless you're actually serious in which you're just wrong again.

Plus, again, the pics don't match, anyone but Stevie Wonder can see this as they overlay the two DNA offshoots from the strands go off to the right they become (drumroll please) 3 threads when overlapped due to not being identical so the point is moot.

That was the biggest problem with that movie. Ian Whyte was great as both Predators.

Pretty good as a White Walker and the "Mountain that Rides" in Game of Thrones too. Hopefully he gets a good bit of screen time in Season 3. I'd love to see a flashback of him burning his brother's face.

The clown is an uber-troll who's been bashing the movie without even having seen it!
So not even a "good troll."
His posts are little more than trendy internet memes with nanosecond half-lives.
I've passed stools that were smarter, funnier, and better looking.

USE the power! Life is too short!

I don't think of Prometheus as a horror film.

Prometheus is firmly in the sci-fi horror genre.

As are the films in the Alien franchise.

And a lot of Cronenberg's work.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. No the interview I saw was only about 10 minutes long so nothing was mentioned about trilogy's so that would be awesome...he was very depressed looking and seriously looked like an alcoholic but hey what do I know.
I guess comparing Blade Runner doesn't work...that was done in the 80's which again this is just my opinion...had more feeling and emotion I mean "Tangerine Dream" did most of the soundtrack for that movie who I absolutely love.
Prometheus was a good movie...again the effects were awesome but it just felt rushed...or like the movie once again could have been much longer but if Ridley Scott is planning on doing a Trilogy with Prometheus where it goes way beyond Alien well then the movie being shorter and ending the way it did may indeed be perfect. Not trying to be a movie critic here I just love movies.

I will pick up the collector's edition because I would like to see a better interview with Ridley Scott where he is actually happy to talk about his current projects.

I think you mean "Vangelis".

I'd say Prometheus is the best sci-fi film since Aliens though T2, the original Matrix, District 9, and Avatar are all strong contenders.

District 9 is easily the best sci-fi from the past decade followed closely by Prometheus (IMO).

^ I saw that Mr. Pollowed.

I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt as he can actually make a compelling and thoughtful argument when hes trying.

But, yeah, if he is just trolling I'll probably just not respond to him. Maybe he saw something I didn't, but I'm not trusting something he "read" somewhere and regurgitated internet "facts"

I'm happy for you, unfortunately I don't use Photoshop so I can't share in your joy.

Unfortunately, many people like myself own the BR and know its not true.

So I guess I was imagining this scene where the computer says "DNA Match" right?

And when Shaw says "Oh my God.. it's us.. it's everything." I must've been imagining that part too, right?

My bad for not making this perfectly clear since it seems to be so important: I've already seen it.

 

[Sachiel]

What's that big arrow in the middle of the shot? I don't remember that in the film.

OMG U FOTOSHOPS EETS!!!

Bout time. Now GTFO.

about 51:32, on that crappy youtube upload.

Lol....at Devil getting hammered from all sides.

Like I said before, all photoshop and no substance.

Space Jockey's have an exact DNA match to humans (according to the movie). So no need to assume anything. If something is toxic to us then it's toxic to them.

we have "matching" DNA, not exact clone replica DNA. The strands are shown as being similar in Shaw's Iphone, they're not 100% identical.

Even if they didn't show that they were different, by your reasoning, the Engineers would have human lifespans, not live 1,000s of years as Khev said he got from the DVD stuff already and they'd be 6' and hairy.

Watch the movie again, I've seen the scene in question. The screen says "100% match" when they run the Engineer's DNA.

Try harder, it says "DNA match" not "100% match" like you claimed. I knew what it said,I've seen the movie a few times. Of course you got the text right when you posted a screenshot, congrats on that.
Now rewind 3 seconds before this and look at the two strand charts very carefully. Notice each looks similar, but different? Notice how when they overlay they aren't exactly the same? The easiest portion to spot if your TV sucks that badly is watch the 2 lines each at the end. They're noticable enough that when they overlay it becomes 3 lines (like in your picture)

Of course your original point was what again? How similar our races must be because it said 100% match? Yes, I forgot about all the albino hairless giants I see walking around.

 

[Devil_666]

So "DNA Match" does not mean "100% Match"!? LOLZ. Ok.

 

[Wulf]

Now you're gettin it.

i dont really want to interfere in the debate but only twins can have a 100% match
