It was, but the things I disliked about are things that are Lindelof trademarks (IT WAS ALL A DREAM) whether or not he was actually responsible for that stuff. When the material constantly has you questioning what's real it gets hard to give a poo poo about.

In 1982, John Carpenter wrote, produced, and scored a camped-up Halloween sequel about an evil corporation building replicants and messing around with technopagan magick. Michael Myers was only in it for like five seconds.

This also owned a lot.

This looks a lot like suffering.
The movie was alright, with some great scenes, but I didn't like the opening scene and the stuff in the plot about how humans were made by the engineers. I study evolutionary biology IRL. The vast majority of people who believe in evolution are just as clueless about the details of how it works as the religious right, but because they aren't as batshit brainwashed as the religious right they are inclined to believe they are deep thinkers and that inevitably it's going to be shown that humans are way too special compared to other species on this planet to have evolved without some sort of intelligent guidance/intervention.

Prometheus is probably the third or fourth movie I've seen with a plot that's pandered to this fantasy in some way. It's just their way of coping with the fact that they don't have a traditional origin myth and they didn't pay attention in science class. Also non-scientists love to assume that evolutionary biologists worship Darwin the way people worship the founding fathers or Jesus. Hence the biologist character in the movie written to look like a blind faith religious idiot.

In Ridley Scott's Prometheus a religious girl and her douchebag boyfriend go in search of God with an atheist robot. She gets knocked up, has a backalley space abortion, then her aborted tentacle fetus hentai fucks God to death.

What's not to love?

In John Carpenter's Prince Of Darkness, a team of inexperienced scientists is sent to examine a jar of green goo, hidden in a secret temple beneath a church. The goo, left there by the ancient aliens that inspired the bible, starts causing everyone to go insane, zombify, mutate, and so-on. The scientists soon realize that the goo will bring about the apocalypse unless they use the power of Jesus to defeat both the God and 'Anti-God' responsible.

I really like Prometheus and can watch it repeatedly but when people watch it with me and complain incessantly that it makes no sense and the characters make dumb decisions, that its confusing and all these factors lead them to conclude its just not a very good movie, well I just sit back secure in the knowledge that I'm the only one who gets it.

It's funny becuase, you know what? We all have different things that can make or break movies for us, things that can pierce the bubble of our own personal suspensions of disbelief. For example, I loved Prometheus---I saw it four times in the theater---but that scene where John Kent dies in Man of Steel? What the gently caress was that? Any human being who runs into a tornado after a dog to my mind is so unfathomably retarded I could only regard the subsequent events as comedy. That almost destroyed Man of Steel for me. So yes, we all have

I didn't really dislike it, but pretty much every single character seemed to be a massive idiot who made stupid decisions.
On an alien world, being specifically told not to take your helmet off? Take helmet off.
In an alien building, seeing things never seen before by humans? I'm a geologist and there are no rocks, so I'm not remotely interested, I'll go back to the ship.
Found a one-of-a-kind alien skull? Yay, let's pump electricity into it just to see what happens.
Mysterious alien snake-thing appears out of the mud? Aw, it's so cute, let's play with it.
