Ridley Scott's "Prometheus"

[BladeVenom]

Something for the Lindelof fans.

I have to thank you guys. The horrible opinions kept my expectations so low that I actually enjoyed it enough. Unanswered questions and flat characters, but I don't regret watching it. I don't see many movies in the theater so I usually enjoy myself when I go.

Do you agree it deserves an 800+ post count of hate?

If you go into it expecting Alien, Gladiator, Hannibal, Black Hawk Down, or Blade Runner, you are going to be disappointed.

Shit, I'd watch this a thousand times over before I sat through Blade Runner again.

1. Speeddemon is right. An axe in the hands of a small female is hardly a weapon. You get one swing. It has to be moving fairly fast to have much of an effect. Once it's moving that fast, you're committed to finishing the swing. Dodge the first (and only) swing, and move in quickly.

Anyway, I'm not weeding through 750 posts in this thread. Would one of you nimrods be kind enough to stop your idiotic arguing over plot holes for a moment, and suggest whether it's worth seeing this at the drive-in? (Along with TED) Or should I wait to rent it?

I just saw it: go watch it. It is a good romp. I'm no sucker for shit movies, and I found it to be worth a trip to the theater.

I'm not wading through much of this thread, either, as I see mostly posts from nerds with steam for brains.

Don't worry about 3D, of course. well--never consider 3D. it's pointless.

Haven't seen Prometheus yet but watched Aliens today for the first time in a decade. Man great movie. Holds up to the test of time. Only negative is what are now cliches that Aliens invented. Nearly every line the marines say has been used 1000x in subsequent movies and video games.

Gonna watch Alien next weekend.

The movie tries for quality self-expression; but somewhere someone screwed it up badly. It's like the previous alien movie, great people all around, screwed by producers that couldn't handle what should have been filmed.

I'm guessing it leads Bowser to a fireflower nursery facility.

Amazing computer surgery is so accurate it can perform a c-section and women can still wear their underwear. Nooms didn't have a problem showing bush in her earlier films.

It wasn't a c-section, the computer stated it was configured for males only so she went for abdomen surgery to remove a foreign object instead.

I find this pic extremely cute :wub:

Which is kind of funny. Since the machine was only for a man, wouldn't it have thought all her female reproductive organs were foreign bodies?

Who knows, probably an oversight or the machine could have some safe guards in place for when the wrong sex would use the machine it can still identify someones sex and know what is not foreign.

I still like how it stapled her skin together but left the uterus an open, internal bleeding wound.

:wub:

she did go into manual override and punched in some general surgical procedures, so I believe the "man" function was ignored.

Either way, that was a pretty badass scene, and will likely become quite legendary.

Yep. Again, another needless plot hole. How hard would it have been to show or at least imply all the layers were sewn up?
