Ridley Scott's "Prometheus"

[zinfamous]

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

that is not a plot hole.

but it is a hole in her uterus.

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.

yeah.. surprised at her not showing T&A since this is a rated R movie.

also surprised that Charlize Theron didnt show more skin. (she also showed bush in earlier movies.)

 

[Triumph]

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.

You mean ridiculous? Legendary for how ridiculous it was? I was laughing out loud in the theater. Massive internal surgery and she gets up immediately afterwards and runs from the room. Prometheus apologists point out, "Well she took some pain killer medicine."

And that was still the best scene in the movie precisely because it was a scantilly clad Noomi.

yes, a lot of it had to do with how ridiculous it was. either you accept the reality of what is going on, within the confines of the movie, or not.

I think it was massively ridiculous, but in no way because of why you think it was ridiculous.

 

[Magusigne]

*One* of the reasons I like this movie becausse Sci-Fi movies are seriously lacking in the theatres..and of course I am a sci-fi junkie...

So I'll give that this fact biases my opinion.

However, regardless of anything,
-Visuals were badass.
-Overall Plot was pretty ballzy (always a fan on Von Daniken..even though for every 1 GOOD idea/theory he has, he trashes it with 10 crazy ones for some odd reason)
-First Half of the movie was amazing..fell apart after that and was still a Good movie to me.
-Even the haters have to admit that Fassbender was pretty awesome overall stole the show. The rest of the characters were pretty bland..which added to the negative feedback of the movie.

There are clues to the release of HL2 ep3 hidden within.

Its a movie... if its hard to believe that scene that much surely you were "laughing out loud" at other technological non-sense.

It's not outside the realm of belief that 80 years into the future, pain med injections could also provide rapid tissue healing. Use your brain.

 

[BladeVenom]

The whole c-section is ridiculous. It only made one cut, that means it cut her abdominal muscles in half. Besides leaving her uterus cut open, it also left her peritoneum, abdominal muscles, and the fascia all cut open. Now there's nothing holding her guts in but some staples in her skin. If she could even stand upright without abdominal muscles, first time she did something strenuous the staples would tear open and her guts would spill out onto the floor.

well look at it in context. she is in a room with two scientists in full on biohazard gear, trying to quarantine her. she easily gets away, and NOBODY CHASES HER. then the whole surgery caper. then, she manages her way out of the surgery room, and stumbles into another room, covered in blood, and is basically ignored. hilarious. who writes this shit?

that's just dumb.

So, in 2093, they're looking for clues that it might be released?

:hmm:

That might be the most believable part of the movie.

A retard, apparently.

Nice retort, or one that my 10 year old niece used yesterday.

If we can preserve human life during light travel, who's the "dumb" one to think that advanced healing methods aren't possible? It's a sci-fi movie but I forgot, you need everything spoon fed (i.e. have them specifically tell you about the advanced healing so you can mentally masturbate) like the rest of the irrational lemmings in this country. Oh wait, you also thought Dr.Shaw could kill a 9ft tall engineer (who shrugged off two hi-tech shotgun blasts) with a little axe!

You guys are funny. Go watch a Disney film that doesn't require any heavy lifting, i.e. the story is neatly tied up so my 10 yr old niece can understand it.

as for Shaw being able to do what she did after abdominal surgery, well, there's some other real-life examples of people doing some rather serious shit in far worse circumstances

at least she wasn't holding her guts inside with one hand while having to run through the halls.

why is that not possible?

is it dumb that we use jellyfish proteins as flourescent, gene-level tags in whatever organism we want to put them in? is it dumb that we already have powders that can apparently re-create fingers?http://www.cbsnews.com/2100-3445_162-3960219.html

Is it dumb that we can already create "simple" organs like bladders?

is it dumb that we won't continue to advance medical science?

Just what is so dumb about the many, many ridiculously shocking things we can do today, that are no far shot away from better, regenerative meds?

are you one of those that hates progress--or just doesn't like to read?

The problem isn't the possibility; it's that when suspending disbelief we must be given a reason. Even if it's a fantastic reason, we need a reason. This movie intentional goes out of its way to draw the audience away from critical thinking; it is a fantasy cartoon set in space. When you look at it as a fantasy movie set in space things make a lot more sense. The cartoon-ish behavior of C3po and R2 make more sense.

you also thought Dr.Shaw could kill a 9ft tall engineer (who shrugged off two hi-tech shotgun blasts) with a little axe!

Not an excuse for dismissing the axe without explanation: that's poor craftsman ship on the part of the editor, no way around it.

The problem is that there wasn't any heavy lifting in this movie; it feigned pretense toward heavy lifting and failed. Inception did the opposite by requiring the audience to pay attention in-order to understand; if the audience pays attention in this movie they are rewarded with the realization that the movie is poorly crafted.

Or the audience cannot fill in the blanks on obvious items (a little woman cannot hurt a giant engineer w/ axe and in 80 years advanced wound healing will exist); granted, I will give you that "heavy (mental) lifting" is overkill when I should have used the phrase "common sense". Not to be confused with plot craftsmanship, which obviously could have been better/logical in certain parts (fifield/millburn getting stranded). Of course it wasn't perfect but I'm waiting for nerdrage about not seeing every meal and bathroom break. Dr.Shaw had to be weak because she only ate one meal since coming out of cryosleep!!!! Come on.

 

[BladeVenom]

(a little woman cannot hurt a giant engineer w/ axe and in 80 years advanced wound healing will exist);

But it was a futuristic space axe. In 80 years axes will have micro lasers built in that can cut through titanium.

If the painkillers injections could give her Wolverines mutant healing powers, then they also could have given her Superman's strength.

Well, as long as we're generalizing about people we don't even know, you sound like someone with diarrhea of the mouth who loves to hear himself try and sound intelligent. You also sound like a Prometheus fanboy, slathering and drooling at the opportunity to lash out at anyone who doesn't like the movie, your canned response is "You're just not intelligent enough to understand it."

 

[-Slacker-]

Do people not understand that using the phrase "nerd rage" has an entirely ironic effect when, in fact, they go out of their way for days or weeks at a time to subvert other people's opinions about a fucking movie?

That's a level 2 troll dart; a little tougher to dodge.

Zinfamous. Going the distance.

Movie sounds retarded. I'll wait for it to be on Netflix.
