Pretty interesting and spoiler-filled discussion over here:

I had several beefs with the film. The main being the timing of the movie. I hated how it played.

Yes, I am going to compare to Alien because duh. Alien had a beat that was super unique and made me love the film. There were vast amounts of negative space between these short bursts of percussive violence. For my entertainment that is what made it such an unforgettable movie.

Prometheus was a very well polished and expensive version of a cheesy alien/horror blockbuster movie.

My 2nd beef, the philosophy lessons and religious subtext. Holy mother of fuck seriously? How much are you going to cram in there? FATHER?????

I paid the $17.00 to see it in Imax and I don't regret it. But I do regret laughing out loud when Charlize Theron delivered the FATHER???? line. I was the only one... Did some snorting. Felt bad man.

I may go see this at Cinemagic. But only if someone assures me that there's actually a prom in the movie.

SO MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE XENOMORPH FACE-HUGGERS SOMEHOW EVOLVE OUT OF THE BLACK GOO AND HUMAN DNA... OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. BUT PREVIOUS MOVIES HAVE ESTABLISHED THE EXISTENCE OF THE FACE HUGGERS AND WHATNOT PRIOR TO THIS MOVIE. SO... YEAH... THAT.

Always send in the drones. Never the people. Has Obama taught us nothing?!?

the point i keep returning to when re imagining prometheus is the stark juxtaposition between the lofty themes the movie flails at and utterly drab and utilitarian luggage.

the expedition, which seeks to explore and ultimately confront humanity's creators does so furnished with unbelievably lame luggage. outfit up you motherfuckers! you are embarking on a mission of limitless grandiosity. its depth of purpose as deep as the pockets of those bankrolling the whole thing. and yet, the space duffles produced to get the mission done are drab? limey? one cavity for storage? no nifty compartments?

the mission called for luggage equipped with tons of eccentric design choices: outlandish pockets, meticulous closures and the kind of panache and swagger that refuses to be ignored.

shame on you prometheus.

Please wait...
