  Mostly understood what the film was conveying, just hated how stupid the characters were written in how they went about it.  That took a lot of people out of the film.  It's a wonder they got to the engineers at all without blowing up before leaving Earth.

   Man! I can't beleive how many people didn't get this film! The old man was communicating with the robot so he could understand (withot endangering himself) the engineers intent. The robot needed a ginypig for testing the black liquid, so, he tested it on one of the humans. This was because he was under orders from the old rich guy. Everything the robot did was for the rich guy who treated him like a son. THIS IS DEFINITLY A PREQUEL. If you're going to watch the film again, look on the back wall of the alien cylinder room. The xenophobe from the original alien movie is on the back wall.

    "SPOILER ALERT!", the xenophobes are a biological weapon created by the engineers. What most people don't get is that it was designed to require a two part catalyst. The first catalyst was the black liquid (which, when placed into the water supply of a planet) will infect the female gender of the second catalyst, which (wait for it), is (wait for it), us! The human race was created to be the second catalyst used for the quick and effective propigation of a xenophobe army.

  "Another spoiler alert!" If you watch the Aliens VS. Preditor movie, you'll notice that the preditors use the xenophobes as means of training/testing. Not just on our planet, but, others. This is because xenophobes are the most deadly of know bio-weapens in the galaxy (created over 2000 years ago by the engineers).  I'm thinking that the preditors and the engineers are at war (or at least they were). The beginning of the Prometheus movie showed how this was done on Earth. A black liquid was used to break down the sacrficed engineers DNA so that human evolution would take place on the planet and bingo, the secondary catalyst was created. Earth was designated to the engineers who had a bio-breach that wiped out most of the engineer crew. Once the last engineer realized that the second catalyst was ready, he began to take steps needed to take the first catalyst to the second catalyst (which was us on Earth). 

   Oh! and don't get it twisted. This is not an alternate universe. The crew from the original movie (which was a second rate frigit) landed to answer a distress call. The queen xenophobe from the engineer had laid all those eggs, but, the ship Ripley's crew visited was not the same ship that the promethes visited. Remember, the robot said that there were many engineer ships on the planet. There are some holes in the story (like why weren't there any human xeneologists or biologists on board [most of the Prometheus crew were either security or they were in other fields like geologist, anthropologsts, etc. Which was why they were so irresponsible in the first place.]) I hope this helped.

  BETTER THAN SEX

  I think our religious and scientific leanings sway the way we view this film, gaining or losing merits based alot on how we view those two fields.  I think they tried for a movie that works on a number of levels, but did so in a manner that caused a great disconnect with a large portion of the audience who picked up on the one as suppressing or stumbling over the other.  It may have been a pretty puzzle but not an elegant one as a lot of people of many walks of life still can't put together the picture the producing folks tried to paint as-is.

  Spoilers ahead.

  While all of the visuals were certainly pretty and the acting was great, I found the story lacking substance and many things I wish to be explained lacking any sort of explanation at all (and I'm talking in-movie, not alien timeline). For instance, why did David poison Dr. Holloway? Or why was everybody touching everything on an alien planet and not taking basic quarantine precautions with alien lifeforms? I mean, these are a bunch of scientists, supposedly rational people exploring an alien world and alien lifeforms. And they simply threw caution to the wind. 

  Don't they have Star Trek in the Alien Universe?

  In the new issue of Geek magazine, Rapace said that," the movie Prometheus is not a prequel."

  Rule # 1 to prequels is that in movies there are no prequels with the exception of Star Wars.

  Well, I really liked this movie. Mostly because of the special effects and the performances of Michael Fassbender and Idris Elba. And also the atmosphere was really scary and the story was ok, buy I have to say, there a lot of mistakes, inconsistencies and big story holes. For example, these doctors, Noomi Rapace and Logan Marshall-Green, well the discovered a series of hieroglyphics that have the same pattern in a lot of civilizations and SUDDENLY! They discovered our makers!!! I mean, c'mon! What is your evidence?! I've heard a lot of people who believe in this kind of stuff with more coherency that this guys, and the get a full paid journey into that planet! The, when they arrived and find those big guys, they are like: "ohh look! those are our makers!" "Yeah, so what?" "I don't know. Maybe they wanted to kill us" "Why do you think that?" "Because they created this Alien shit" "OK"........So stupid and silly! And even when the Android showed more humanity than everyone of them, they just called him: "You are a robot. And that's it"

  The movie was great, scary, bloody, but it didn't have any character development (except again for Fassbender) and if the producers, writers and Ridley Scott wanted to answer questions about this Universe, they only gave me like 20 more questions!

  I haven't been here in a while but a friend who saw it and hated it as much as I did said..and I quote: "That was some ol' BULLSHIT...." which of course cracked me up and made me remember to come here. Toooo funny. There was sooo much wrong with this movie. It wasn't even a movie. A MOVIE is A STORY told through the medium of MOVING PICTURES and SOUND. Uh...ke word? STORY.  There was none and without a STORY...you have NO movie.

  A BLACK cowpoke hillbillie CAPTAIN??? C'mon...NONE of you bought that!!!

  A machine designed to perform surgery on a MAN....jeririgged in less than 5 minutes to perform a flawless ABORTION???? Um...on a WOMAN???  And that whole arc....what the frack WAS that???? Are you serious....even the parts that started to LOOK like someone was telling a story...MADE NO GODDAMN SENSE.  Like, AT ALL!!!

  Diaglogue???  Elizabeth: David, what are you doing?  David: I am attempting to open the door.  Elizabeth: Wait a minute...we don't know what's on the other side.   D-uhh, why the fukk do you think he's TRYING TO OPEN IT YOU STUPID COW????  Of COURSE you don't know what's on the other side of it. You're on AN ALIEN PLANET and you've only been there a HALF AN HOUR....jeezus. They spent a quarter BILLION dollars to make that turkey. I literally went to the box office and demanded my money back. Raised the ceiling and got it. Tired of givng my hard earned money to millionaires who don't give a shit about their goddamn craft.  Anybody who 'enjoyed' this movie? Shame on you.

  Actually, isn't the movie about its finer points, its attention to certain details.

  also here is a pretty interesting interview with ridley scott, where he is kind of admitting that he is more into putting asses in seats and being a business man, but its still kind of interesting to see him talk about Prometheus and why he made some of the decisions he did. also if you haven't seen the movie...THIS INTERVIEW HAS SPOILERS

  Sorry for the spoilers, but this really is all that Michael Fassbender's character did. I mean your a great actor when you can make people forget that this is all your character does in a film.

  I had several, while watching this movie (orgasms that is). But then again I'm really sensitive so I can cum watching paint dry... However, This movie was not better than sex  though, I would say definitely FULL PRICE! I am an astronomy buff and a fan of sci-fi/horror stuff with an open mind.

  Honestly, all the little things that some of you guys pointed out were so obviously errors on film making...most of us did not even notice. If you take a step back and inhale the "broad strokes" of the filmmakers brush you might see the forest instead of honing in on every tree within. If you do that you are just asking for an ambush.

  I'm telling you, for people who have scientific inclinations, and who know of movies, watching prometheus is close to an orgasm.

  Up until the halfway point I was in love with this movie. I think they tried to throw in a couple too many crazy things towards the end, mainly the inclusion of SO many different monster types just kind of confusing things. Simpler would have been stronger.

  Also had a row of complete d-bags behind us, I need to rewatch it for that reason alone. 

• June 16, 2012 at 4:52 AM, said ...

  No, sorry.

  This movie was fucking awful.  Terribly written, literally NOTHING in this film makes any sense, and it left me angry.

  It is a FUCK YOU! for me.

  These holes in the other 3 sarcophagus's show where the 'aliens' must have killed the Engineers in their sleep. Then again the holographic images the crew see are of  3 Engineers running. So..?

  I went ahead an watched all the Alien movies again and also remembering what I saw and how I percieved it when they actually came out in the theaters during the course of 3 very full decades. Now I knwo there is probably no way around this for film makers coming up and being influenced by the times in which they are immersed. But I can't help but notice that the very first movie in the overall timeline of this fictional universe that the technology in the Prometheus cycle is farm more indicative of the technology that we now have 12 yrs into the 21st century, an the technology in the Alien cycles (which according to the timeline took place many years after the prometheus cycle), does indeed faithfully represent the technology that we humans had available to is here on earth at the same time t he movies were made. For example: In Alien we see lots of CRT's with nothing more than green flickering command line interfaces. While in Prometheus, events which predate Alien story are loaded with touch-screens and beautiful iphone/android like interfaces along with full immersion holographic projections. And take the second Aliens film with they guy from "Mad about You" Paul Reiser with the 80's pomp and turned up suit colar that was typycal of its time, yet that story line was set in like 2091 or something. Like I said, creatively there is probably no way around this fundamental (and what I see as the ONLY FLAW in all of these movies)...But in retrospect it is something that definately stands out like a soar thumb. 

  However, if you somehow factor in the idea of temporal anomaly, this might just tie up these, what I see as, loose ends. 

  Maybe the only way to do that is to reboot the entire franchise and create all the films over again within a 10 year timeframe, which would probably do quite well. I also think that now we can better anticipate how tech is going to look and perform that we could back int he 60's, 70's or 80's. 

  Love 

  Ann

  The introduction of the future and the pinnacle of human excavation is brilliantly displayed in the first half of this movie...unfortunately Scott decided to make the audience suck a big fat Alien dick in the ending...still a really entertaining movie, all the tech is DOPE!

  @The Question & Zware: So your saying that those two people WHO POINTED OUT ALL THE FLAWS are idiots because they still liked the movie despite its' flaws.

• June 13, 2012 at 9:18 PM, said ...

  I think it was different than the hum drum of science fiction movies. Only, because, you saw David as a different andriod as you would see it in other alien movies: Lance Hendrecrickson and Wynoda Ryder.

  That is why I think this movie is a reboot. and, of course it a reboot. When they decide to make two more sequels a totaly different alien franchise will soon unfold.

  little things have small beginnings," and you don't have to deliver the complete punchline at once. you will never gain an audience. Once the other movies come out then feelings of this movie will change.

  And, remember, not everyone is a smart as the other person, and i am refering to Charlize. She was never put in charge by the old guy,noomi repaece was.

  Believe me. That is how wholly-wood works.
