MASTERPIECE

ambitious yet flawedBLACK GOO
I loved it, but I'm a sucker for style and atmosphere. Story wasn't great and that's where a lot of the criticism comes from.
bleh
the visuals are 10/10
story and characters are trash/10
>>69683838
it contrasts the white goo of our life we made.

flawed, but awesome. I liked it a lot. Amazing visuals too.
>>69684745
contrast isn't poetry, that's a visual thing.

Really bad.
>>69683817
WHYYYYYYYY
>>69683817
Massive potential, brilliant style. Awful, abysmal execution.
A real shame, a well put together version of it could have been a classic.
Best film of 2010's. Plebs hate it because there's no xenomorphs
I hated the fuck out of it
If you make a movie with some >deep storyline, at least put some effort into not making characters total imbeciles who behave like people in Scary Movie
>>69683817
dissertation papers were written about how and why the movie is utter, irredeemable shit
>>69683817
Trailer was GOAT
Visuals were GOAT
History and execution MEH
I loved it and no amount of complaining by underage retards will change my mind.
>>69683817
david is one of the most intriguing characters in recent times and i absolutely adored the style and atmosphere of the movie like >>69683848
Ridley Scott needs a better hand at picking scripts, his visuals are GOAT as always
>>69686617
I truly believe this is the underlying basis for a the complaints, but nobody will admit it.
They wanted/expected Alien 0.5.
>>69686932
>he actually liked Prometheus
adult retard detected - which is much worse than underage retards, as those still have the possiblity to grow up into somewhat decent and capable people.
>>69683817
Amazing looking and great sound design. I loved that silicon storm effect.
The story and characters are absolute trash and nothing makes sense.
Overall I hated it.
>>69683833
dubs confirm
>>69686961
>david is one of the most intriguing characters in recent times
I tell people that the movie is actually ABOUT David and they get all confused and butthurt.
>>69686961
He's an android. There is literally nothing intriguing about him, he's programmed to act a certain way. Not sure why they decided to make him so much more advanced than Ash and Bishop despite being made earlier.
>>69686997
Name one complaint that isn't "scientists were dumb."
>is this thread again
Prometheusposting isBESTposting
>>69687036
Adding in the Xeno at the end when they stated a thousand times in interviews before the movie came out that it wasn't a prequel to the Alien films. Now they gave in completely.
>>69687016
>There is literally nothing intriguing about him,
Despite the fact that he despises most humans and struggles with his programming literally every second of his life ?
>>69683817
I know everyone hates it, but i love it, i love movies that show me another world and what could happen, even more so with this level of production.
>>69683817
garbage
>dude with the map layout gets lost
>create expert touches random life form
Has a ton of script problems (LINDELHACK STRIKES AGAIN) but the visuals, atmosphere, etc. are fucking stellar, the performances were strong and it was ambitious as hell.
Still waiting for the "snarky" WHY DIDN'T THEY RUN LEFT """"""criticism""""""" to die so we can discuss this film for real and accept that it's the best Xeno film after the first.
So the white mother is a coal burner
Her "son" is murderous autist
Overall the movie is absolutely fucking atrocious, doesn't make any sense

What in the actual fuck are you talking about?
>>69687249
No, Scott caved into the producers.
I'm still reserving judgement while waiting to see if pic related fixes Prometheus.
>>69687410
Give up already my dude
>>69687368
So you wanted less Xenos?
You're like the opposite of everyone else who hates Prometheus here. Can I have your autograph?
>>69687523
They said from the start that it was going to be a film set in the same universe as Alien but not a prequel. We were going to get the origins of the Space Jockey. Instead we got Xeno's and black goo that doesn't make sense.
>>69684931
It's like pottery.
Too much blacked goo
>>69687569
I still maintain this is the only time I've seen this criticism, here. You're the only poster I've ever seen acknowledge that the movie wasn't supposed to be a direct prequel to Alien.
So I approve of your criticism because you actually seem intelligent.
Excellent film. As a psychological horror/thriller, it isn't as good as the 1st half of Alien but is much better than the predicable 2nd half of that film.
The emersion was broken when there was a bunch of holographic projection. Like this is supposed to take place before Alien, yet the technology they use is centuries ahead of that? Besides that little problem, thought it was a pretty awesome movie.
>>69686617
Eh, it could be worse, but there are several points that are just plain fucked up:
>the alien - which would be implied to be one of the Anunnaki - is just aggressive right off the bat, great representation of "MUH CREATORS OF MANKIND"
>cheap Ripley replica as female lead
>"MUH ALIEN BIRTH"
>trying way too hard at making the holograms in the alien weaponry seem like "MYSTIC FUCKING SIGNS OF GODS, INTERGALACTIC CRUISERS, OH MY FUCKING GAWD"
>while also making the alien itself act really fucking stupid, and just go full Rambo style on Earth out of nowhere
>trying WAY too hard at the ship crash scene
>and that god-awful ending with the female lead being still okay
Basically, it had the possibility to be its own thing, but instead it's just Alien-lite with 2 types of aliens instead of one.

There was never any reason to give the xenos and the space jockeys a backstory.
And the backstory they gave them (that they're related, and so are humans) is a shit, childish idea, and nowhere near as good as the original story in Alien: the SJ was just some random alien that got killed by xenos.
And if they really insisted on writing this shit backstory, there was certainly no need to do so by making a mess of a film with an incoherent array of threats so disjointed and random that it robbed the film of any sense of dread.

its kinda well known that ridley wanted to do an ancient aliens movie, but when he pitched it, the studio heard "ancient Alien™, the prequel to Alien™: the movie" Then when the studio realized he wasn't making "Alien™ -2: acoustic boogaloo" they started meddling hardcore until ridley just gave up fighting and shoved lindelof onto the project. Hence why the entire movie is a complete fucking mess.

It's actually several types of Aliens; the snake thing, the big mean white guy, alien octopus, the fishy eye thing, and I guess you could technically count the black stuff Dave puts into the drink.
Ruined the mystique of the space jockey, wasn't scary at all, was downright retarded most of the time
Bravo, simply bravo!
