I think it's interesting that people are saying Prometheus was a "pretentious" film. I assume that's what they call it now when you bother to composite a shot really nice in your space monster movie.

He should play all 10 Avengers, but keep Tom Hiddleston and Chris Pratt and then make the plot about a bunch of Idris Elbas having sex with them, THERE'S YOUR MOVIE.

Uh no, it's because people like to pretend the plot is not dumb and gay.

loving---I know what was missing. We needed a fifteen minute long prologue where Idris Elba filled us in on everything Greek Chorus style so the movie wouldn't be so confusing!

no it was pretentious because it posited big compelling ideas but had no follow through like a STEM major posting about philosophy on facebook after reading some wikipedia summaries

Well we don't get easy answers, in life, I think that may be what the movie was trying to say, Morgan Freeman's not going to show up to tell you if it's right for her to hold onto her faith at the end or w/e

Yes, but they should change the name of film to "Connor X" and now it's a buddy movie about waking up from the biggest frat party of the year and having blacked out so hard you forgot your last name.

You see, but you do not observe.

only thing that really bothered me was the bio scientist just loving approaching a loving deadly looking sort of goo animal that lives in a scary rear end tomb cave, and treating it like a puppy and then predictably getting his rear end loving beat

not even Steve loving Irwin would've done that

What a loving stupid and unrealistic move in a movie full of lovely unrealistic stuff, that was the only thing that really made me check out

"Yeah the script says something's gotta happen here, let's ignore how any human would react"

sounds like they should have planned their first excursion into an alien structure on a strange planet a little more carefully then

A survivor... unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality.
The biggest thing that bugged me about Prometheus was the size of the Space Jockeys/Engineers. I know Scott basically said that he had to shrink them down in size so they would be more film-able in action scenes, but in the Original ALIEN, the Space Jockey was big. Standing upright it would have been like 15 feet tall. So are the Engineers in Prometheus the same species? An off-shoot species? Copying the big Space Jockeys look and tech?

If they are the same species, it would be like if you had Darth Vader his original height in Star Wars, then in Empire he was the same height as Luke with no explanation.

The ship and the Engineers we see may come from as much as 2,000 years before the one we saw on LV-426. Could be they started pumping bovine growth hormone into the butts of their pilots for the trip. :shrug:

Somebody showed me a video with an extended version where they left in a bromance sub plot, where those two guys were daring each other and one upping each other and that's why they acted like idiots.

But they cut that out with no explaintion in the theater because, reasons
