me? well, it's not my fault you guys dont know the definition of a plothole (or that you apparently can't follow a plot, hah). there were no plotholes, or next to none as far as there can be a movie with no inconsistencies.

Mr.Smiley4 posted:Even the parts that did have David were loving awful in places. How did David know how to use the goo-panel to open the door in the ship? Why did he infect the dude scientist with the black goo, and how did he know that the dude scientist would knock up the chick scientist to create an alien baby? David could see in infrared and ultraviolet light so he just pushed the button with a glowing sign that said "push here to open door" that the humans couldn't see. What, your version of the movie didn't have a scene that explained this? Were you watching a copy that had been edited for syndication or something?

See, this is why you should decide from the beginning if you're making a stupid space monster movie or a 'makes you think' space movie. If you try to slop it up the middle, you get some Mommy's Special Little Fatass who leaves the theater feeling smart and defends it to the bitter end because he got a good score on a standardized test back when his BMI was double digits

The running in straight line thing is funny because imagine your average goon in that situation and realise that most people wouldn't have the faintest clue what to do Now you guys have got me seriousposting concerned mom fucked around with this message at 21:50 on May 11, 2015 |

While there's a lot of really hard criticisms you can level at Prometheus, "Too smart/Too complex" isn't one of them

Mr.Smiley4 posted:Admittedly I haven't seen the movie since it came out, but I don't recall either of those. I just remember walking out of the theater totally confused about the whole movie and feeling frustrated that something almost awesome turned into such poo poo in the last 20-30 minutes when things went batshit stupid and they didn't bother to explain much of the previous parts of the movie either. David is shown talking to somebody in an isolated room (we don't know about Weyland yet, officially), but we can't hear what he's saying. Then he takes the goo and puts it into water - as he presents it to the archeologist, he asks him "How far would you go to accomplish the goal that brought you here". The answer is "As far as I needed". Clearly Weyland instructed him to find out if anything they found could be used to give him his health back. David creates an equivalence between Weyland's mission, and the archeologist's mission, implying that both are justified in using extreme means to produce results, effectively saying "yoi would kill to get what you want, too". also im gay

prometheus was an annoying combination of smartness and stupidity that made it hard to tell whether the audience was supposed to think what was happening is stupid or not. i left annoyed, i give it one thumb at half mast.

if your biggest complaint is that they should have ran sideways they you must be one of those people who contributes to the GOOFS section in IMDB and you should hate yourself.quote:Just before Dr Holloway points out the area to land, he unstraps himself from his chair. While leaving the chair he bumps it and you can clearly see the chair is loose on the floor.
