If you though Lindelof's work was bad, check out who they have tapped to write the second screenplay: Michael Green http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2316204/. His last movie? The Green Lantern... Yeah. Nowhere to go but down.

Lindelof is an okay writer and like people harp on prometheus because religious themes gives their little tummies gas, Lost has set a lot of people on the wrong side of a goodish writer because  the shows mysteries didn't reveal like i wanted

The plot doesn't make sense. The robot is cliche as gently caress. Any religious themes are handled like a toddler with a fuckin' fisher price tool set. The only interesting/rewarding moment is when the main character realizes that her belief might have been justified but her faith was not. That might have been an interesting point if the beginning of the movie wasn't her constantly repeating poo poo like, "It's what I choose to believe." Honestly, the opening scene is poo poo, and sets the standard for the rest of the lovely movie.

Prometheus ruined science fiction for all time. Why are we dignifying it by calling it a "movie"?

Prometheus was an abjectly loving terrible film with a spasticated "look at how deep I am" pustule of a plot. The script made me vomit blood and the only reason I kept some shreds of my sanity intact were a) Fassbender was good and b) I didn't pay to watch it. gently caress this shite film in all of its orifices simultaneously with cacti.

Aliens are real. They exist in a dimension only accessible by taking huge quantities of DMT though.

so wait, wtf...quote:Spaihts wrote a script for a prequel to the events of the Alien films, but Scott opted for a different direction to avoid repeating cues from those films. In late 2010, Lindelof joined the project to rewrite Spaihts's script, and he and Scott developed a story that precedes the story of Alien but is not directly connected to that franchise. According to Scott, although the film shares "strands of Alien's DNA, so to speak", and takes place in the same universe, Prometheus explores its own mythology and ideas. this is the explanation for why prometheus is so terrible? because it's "not really a prequel"? ie because ridley scott is a loving imploded geriatric hack? god drat it, getting old sucks, you turn into a loving idiot if you're unlucky (most ppl are unlucky)

Heh Ridley Scott is guaranteeing that there will be no xenomorphs in Prometheus 2. Alsoquote:“Right now, as we speak, it’s being written. I’ve had 15 drafts evolving. I definitely want to do that ['Prometheus 2'] again because I really enjoyed doing ‘Prometheus’. https://uk.yahoo.com/movies/ridley-scott-updates-us-on-prometheus-2-and-blade-98235330841.html
