Second handed account of the shooting reported that his castmates and crew on set were frequently left aghast when DDL tried to lay real alien eggs out of his rectum hissing and drooling profusely because DDL who is notorious for not breaking character in between takes, was regularly spotted bursting out hysterically at everyone on his path"Get away from my milk-shaaaaaake, bitch!".

The Futurist Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) Scientists acting all stupid was the least of Prometheus' problems. Edited May 8, 2017 by The Futurist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCKillswitch123 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Prometheus, on top of the stupid characters (which wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't taking itself seriously like it totally was), was just boring. Beautiful to look at and a good cast. That's all it had. Even the soundtrack was generic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabrecmc Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I thought Prometheus suffered from trying so very hard to be clever that it forgot to be entertaining. Then, while it was being so smart and trying for all these big, important questions, it had characters doing truly stupid things, so the contrast was particularly annoying. I expect dumb character moves from Friday the 13th Part 100, but was hoping Ridley would do us a bit better. But, for me, it's biggest failing was simply being dull and completely not scary. The reviews for this one sound rather tepid, but at least a bit more entertaining. I guess I should give up on this franchise at this point, but I keep getting sucked back in.

The Futurist Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) The introduction of Prometheus showed how the premise of the movie was ridiculous in itself : " Our creators sent us a message, let s meet them and solve the mysteries of the ceation of the Universe" I mean, sure, a horrific Hollywood movie was FINALLY going to give us the answers about the Creation of Life and the Universe. Like that was gonna happen ... Plus, xenomorphs show up because Franchise ! , and a cheap rip-off of the concepts from the X-Files black-oil. And Grade School level scientists. This movie was Deadpool before Deadpool, simply unaware. Edited May 8, 2017 by The Futurist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the problem people have with stupid scientists is that other movies have used that trope so much that they wonder why movies still do it. Audiences know their curiosity/stupidity is going to get them killed because they've seen it happen countless times in other movies. The problem they have isn't that it's bad just within the context of one particular movie. Edited May 8, 2017 by Jay Beezy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much fun action, silly humor and so little horror; great combination. Plus Predators are way cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Prometheus soundtrack was absolutely amazing. It's a shame that Covenant's score is not nearly as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man belongs in prison. Is it possible to defile franchises which had Alien: Resurrection and Predator 2 as their previous entries? The Predator/Alexa team-up is pure comedy and their slo-mo run together makes me happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marveldcfox Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) Just realized that this releases this friday in India. But what's the point? It's a movie that relies to much on gore and blood...all of which will be neutered by film certification board.

The Dark Rock Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 The average rating keeps dropping. 6.4 now compared to 6.9 of Prometheus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Rock Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Instead of another mediocre movie Scott should have let Blomkamp's Alien movie happen. The concept art looked cool and Blomkamp(looking after his enthusiasm for the series and being fanboy) may have brought some new freshness and energy to the story rather than the same rehash again and again.

Blomkamp had too much badwill coming off of Chappie and to a lesser extent Elysium that he lost his leverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is true actually. And Scott got interested in directing multiple Alien sequels again in between. Still would have been interesting to see Blomkamp's take rather than Scott's after Prometheus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
