Dementeleus Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) I hate to step over to the other side for a moment, but a few continuity errors (from re-arranging scenes) are neither bad nor sloppy editing.

Elessar Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I enjoyed PROMETHEUS and want to see a sequel. This! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Space biscuit on an earlier page you posted that Alien on the wall, how was that there if the Alien hasn't been created yet? I know you posted that pic but what was that for? He seems to be posting a lot of random things, but that Alien sculpture on the wall overlooking the Black Goo canisters/mystery green crystal thing in the film clearly means the one that hatched at the end of the film wasn't the first or a "proto" Alien, same with facehugger that raped the Engineer. The sculpture on the wall also doesn't look anything like a queen like a lot of people seemed to think right off the bat when the movie came out if you look closely.

4815162342 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 The film is very vague and ambiguous about it, but it seems that the Xenomorph was created by the Engineers. Why it was created we don't know, but the film seems to indicate that something involving the Xenomorphs caused the Engineer panic we saw in the hologram displays. As for the very complicated, by chance process that leads to the creation of the quasi-Xenomorph at the end. How the Facehugger gestated from holloway getting dosed to sexual contact (way too random to be designed, at least if there is any chance to be taken seriously) with Shaw I won't even attempt to make sense of, but it does seem that since the Engineers and Humans share loads of DNA (but not everything because if they did then Humans would look exactly like Engineers) a Xenomorph birthed through the imperfect, haphazard process done in the film and one born from an Engineer rather than a human would look different in appearance than the infant Xenomorph birthed from Kane in Alien, Ripley in Alien 3, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kvikk Lunsj Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 So TDKR is better than Taxi Driver, Lawrence Of Arabia or A Clockwork Orange? Are you kidding me? It is not just TDKR is is new movie in general. So many new movies are ranked so damn high that site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a report about Shaw and her discoveries. In one of the paragraphs he talks about how his companies scientists discovered a faint signal coming from another nearby planet designated LV-426. Sound familiar? He talks about wanting to check this signal out an see what it means. So clearly the entry is talking about the ship that's crashed on LV-426 from Alien and Aliens. These reports were done before they left on the expedition in the movie. Most likely crashing there around the same time as what ever happened to the Engineers that they find all dead in the movie.Obviously, the xeno as we know it from Alien must have already existed. It's just not something that's explained in the movie itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penelope Quail Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) Space biscuit on an earlier page you posted that Alien on the wall, how was that there if the Alien hasn't been created yet? I know you posted that pic but what was that for? The Deacon was known about/created eons ago. Did you read my explanation on the other page?

Penelope Quail Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) due to some bullshit that the film didn't bother trying to explain. It did explain it. As Ridley said all of the information is in the film. He just didn't spoonfeed us. Watch a Nolan film if you need everything explained to you through bloaded exposition. Biscuit has made up his mind that Prometheus is the most perfect, most flawless movie of the last 20 years. Too bad I've named flaws in it. Funny how you literally have to lie to get a point across. Prometheus was a success. Haters are the minority by both Audience and Critic opinion. Even when having the answers explained to you like a child you reject them out of nonhumility. You've "made up your mind" to hate anything greater than yourself. What a poor audience member. So psychotic we can't even discuss the sequel in the sequel thread without you bawwwing and slitting your wrists because the previous instalment that was beyond you Edited March 4, 2013 by space biscuit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kvikk Lunsj Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 So can we all conclude that basically, this poster who refers to him or herself as Space Biscuit is really iJack based on how he or she defends the shit out of PROMETHEUS, much like how iJack defended TASM???No it is just an Alien fanboy.

Sims Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 space biscuit, I liked Prometheus a lot and I think nearly all of the complaints against it are petty and irrelevant. That said, you are still certifiably insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stingray Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) The rushed feeling of immediately having to move from point A to B (editing I guess? the movie needed at least another 30 min to breathe) & the stupid characters (okay if its a silly B movie slasher, not okay if its a $150m Ridley Scott movie) are not petty or irrelevant IMO. That being said, I liked Prometheus as well. Edited March 4, 2013 by The Stingray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're welcome to browse through the hundreds of pages of the original thread if you want to see some of my thoughts, but I'll keep it brief here. -I do agree the film could have stood an extra 20 minutes or so. It didn't severely hinder my enjoyment. -There are a few legitimate criticisms on this front, but for the most part this is people failing to see why people would act oddly in such a bizarre situation.

I don't know. To me there was way too much stupid shit going on. - The archaeologist/paleontologist's reaction to seeing the Space Jockey corpses. I mean, wasn't that what you came for? - His, as silly, buddy wanting to pet the freaky looking space cobra. - Holloway hitting the bottle and being miserable after having just made the biggest discovery in history!

DeeCee Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I was watching Evolution the other day and at one point the David Duchovny and Orlando Jones characters break back into the cavern containing all the aliens after the military has sealed it off. The scene plays out almost exactly like when Fifield and Millburn try to pat the alien in Prometheus. Only difference was Evolution was supposedly a comedy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
