Weird how his ''objective'' score is lower than his ''Alien fan'' score. For me it would probably reverse. Holding it up to Alien and Aliens I'll likely think less of it than if I'm just holding it up to a movie experience generally.
That wasthe fact that characters can now seemingly interact with the ship's computer just like in Star Trek and get an audio response to every question they ask. Is this a prequel to Alien or not? They had to type on a keyboard in the original film. The only time the computer ever spoke out loud was ''this ship will automatically self destruct in T-minus 4 minutes'' - Ripley shouts at the computer at one point but she doesn't get a response of any kind. I always assumed it was Ripley just being dramatic. Was she actually expecting Muthr to answer? If so then why weren't they doing that throughout the movie?
Yup, advanced technology in a prequel movie that doesn't match up with the original, just like TPM, AOTC, ROTS and RO.
To be fair though, Prometheus had some pretty advanced **** in it and that was this universe in it's earliest days. Best to just view it as it's own thing, not a sequel or a prequel, just a new Alien movie.
So, technically Alien doesn't make sense in this regard.
Nostromo was a cheeseball ship. Dallas bought it cheap.
OR... its been 40 years, dude. In 1979, LCD watches were the big new technology on the playground.
We're not talking about CGI here. It would simply be a case of recording dialogue for Muthr to say. They could have done that in 1979, they simply didn't think of it.
I know. My points are still valid. Either Dallas owns a really cheap tug... or it was 1979 and they didn't think interface was necessary (maybe it felt too Star Trek for a time when a 'dirty, used universe' was in style that Star Wars ushered in).
Actually, just because they never used it, doesn't mean its not there. Again, perhaps its too expensive for Dallas to run. Perhaps its not active since they were supposed to be sleeping during the events of Alien. The company planted Ash, and they have the big bucks to afford the latest tech (i.e. robots).
Prometheus and this movie have scientists with state of the art equipment in a research mission.
First movie were just truck drivers.

I thought Ash and Bishop were far better androids, they could interact with humans seamlessly, the crew of a ship could have no idea they were androids.
I don't think David could pass the Turing test.
If Fox was smart they would've payed Wor-Gar $100,000 to put on their poster "Wor-Gar says better than Alien!"
