The piece of dialog that bothered me the most (other than the obligatory black talking shit to a white girl) was when the android, David, stated something to the effect that "don't all children want their parents dead?" That sounds like some kind of Freudish joo-talk. It felt almost as deliberately stuffed-in as the race-mixing crap. But overall it was interesting. The derelict spacecraft, and its bizarre alien pilot, from the first Alien movie was always a tantalizing mystery. And seeing it in the Aliens special edition for the first time recently was a real treat, too. It was good to see a little bit more of the story behind where that ship and its pilot came from. The ending certainly leaves room for more story to connect Prometheus to Alien. |

Agree totally that the brief scene with Theron & space-nigger seemed utterly random. No set up, no mention of it afterwards, it could easily have been cut from the film and made zero difference. Blatant PC-pandering by Scott, which added nothing to the story. Quote:
Worth the cost of the Blu-ray rental, if only for the scene of the Engineer craft in the opening.

Other than that I thought film was excellent and beautifullly shot from start to finish. This website about the Weyland Corporation is interesting and could be a sci-fi novel in of itself. http://www.weylandindustries.com/timeline

I assume you mean Shaw is the one who looks like the woman from Mythbusters? Holloway was the guy who inadvertently impregnated Shaw with the alien DNA. Noomi Rapace (Shaw) is cute. She's been in some fucked-up movies, though. There's a JewTube clip of her taking a dildo up the ass strapped on another chick - I think the movie that was in is called Daisy Diamond. I've seen the clip - bad enough - but not the movie; doesn't look or sound like my kind of "entertainment." I haven't watched Mythbusters at all, but looking at the IMDb profile for the show, the actress Kari Byron appears to be the one who looks like Noomi Rapace. Quote:

Right. Shaw. I had the character names confused.

I am, even as I type, downloading Prometheus from Amazon.com. $3.99. I'll watch this evening, anticipating that proposition 64 will pass in Colorado Tuesday.
Mike 24.2% downloaded, downloading at 10.30 Mbps 60.3 %

Let us know what you think.
As I say overall I think it was pretty damn good. Worthy of being in the Alien franchise, but not perfect. Better than Alien³ and Alien Resurrection, in my opinion. Most movies these days are shit, and I wouldn't even download most of them for free, let alone pay admission price at a theater or a rental fee. |

I wonder what Mike thought, since Prop 64 did indeed pass.

I liked it, and in the large it was coherent. In the small, I think it was too busy, too many scenes, and too fast paced. My favorite of the Alien series was the first movie, Alien, by far. The slow pace of Alien really made for scaring the crap out of people, including me. Prometheus was about half a really good movie, and about half a Saturday morning cartoon. Mike

Prometheus was a freakin' mess from start to finish.... hard to believe Ridley released this POS! Hopefully, he won't rape Blade Runner 2 this badly.
