They could have least tried is all I am saying, like just do a roll, if nothing else you gave it a go and it's probably feel pretty good too

i guess it's b/c it's scifi, but there's a lot of sperging over prometheus. a lot more than most scifi films, too. i mean the matrix was a pretty big deal and it had more plot holes & stupid poo poo than most movies but no one even remembers them. i guess it was just fun and prometheus really wasn't.

Why?: The Movie

In space no one can hear your questions. still gonna blame the lost writer. i only ever saw 20 minutes of the tv show and i saw a polar bear. Why was a polar bear on the island? i asked a few people who watched the show and no one could answer. its lost poo poo
I still feel residual smugness over refusing to watch :lost: and telling people "there is no plan, none of it is going to be wrapped up or make sense in any way whatsoever" and then getting to gloat about being 100% right. :smug:

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

This is a page back but isn't a healthy bmi double digits? Like if your bmi is 9 you're dangerously underweight

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

I can totally buy people in a blind panic running away from the rolling spacecraft but they had spent part of the movie building up Meredith Vickers to be this cool collected ice lady who always looks out for number one, then the movie blew it's wad by having her get squashed like Wile E. Coyote. Why bother giving her those character traits if she was just going to die like a chump? Unless I've missed some sort of deeper meaning by being too :spergin:

Cmon be fair, Inception wasn't poo poo because it didn't make sense. It was poo poo because Christopher Nolan is a humorless hack with illusions of grandeur.

who's done that in this thread though? you don't need to imagine much in prometheus, other than where the super monster got it's body mass (who cares lol). i haven't seen inception but what i've heard it's a lot worse than prometheus when it comes to a nonsensical plot.

99% of the bullshit plot holes happened in the sequels.

If you ever go back and re-watch the Matrix, it feels like a film noir that wasn't made by the Wichowksis. Everything other than a neat car chase after that suuuuuucks.

that five hours long car chase of tedium was easily the worst thing about the matrix sequels

but yeah, the original matrix was just "dude, what if we lived in virtual reality - and didnt know about it!", pretty straightforward

The thing that got me in this movie, was that no one seemed to give a poo poo about anything. Everyone was so stoic about going to meet the engineers of life and all that jazz.

The lady gets the alien removed in the surgery machine (legit good scene) and then gets stapled back together after it cuts her abdominal muscles. She is able to get around fairly well considering. She then runs into another room full of people and doesnt tell them she just aborted an alien, and they didnt care to ask why she was all covered in blood and alien poo poo.

I did like the way the film looked though, it was really pretty with good effects.

The movie had solid art direction and decent acting, but lacked a compelling storyline that would have allowed the audience to overlook its various plotholes. It seemed like the situation was contrived specifically to put the characters in danger, rather than allowing the danger to evolve organically from the situation.

That's because Scott was making two different movies. He originally wanted to do some cheesy Chariots of the Gods ancient aliens film, but the studio wasn't interested. So he came back at them with "Well how 'bout a new Alien movie" and the studio jumped on it. Then he proceeded to gently caress with the script and sneak in the ancient astronaut film he wanted to do dressed up with a little Alien tinsel so the produces would cut the checks. And that is why the movie is a confused hosed up mess.

No. He just got around to discovering Erich von Däniken, and apparently he's gotten senile enough to find it all compelling or something.

I guess that'd make him a prime target for Scientology though, so he may be by now.
