Prometheus

[Cranky Old Man]

I knew nearly all the answers to that without having to go browse forums or anything. Are people so dumb that they think Promethus was bad? D:

Prometheus was a disaster. These guys only answer their own questions (and doesn't do it properly either): "Q: Why do they go into space? A: Because they found a map. Q: Why do they have space ships? A: To go into space. See how it all makes sense?" This reeks of people getting paid money to promote a movie.

What's worse is that in the same series, we have a movie where the dialogue is perfect: Aliens. The contrast between these movies really hurts. In Aliens, the dialogue links all the events and motivations together, so that nothing is misunderstood. This is basic storytelling technique.

True. However, I understand where they were coming from (I have a degree in film and animation). He didn't tell the story badly (there weren't any plot holes) and it was a prequel to the series so the questions about WHY and HOW the aliens came to be was answered. That's just how it is.

Silent Hill tried to do that with Origins and it was a flop. I'm not saying it was terrible, but Konami America doesn't make things scary anymore. The point of the Prometheus movie was to portray that the Aliens had to have evolved somewhere. They wanted to explain the Engineer from the first movie (thank you HR Giger for making amazing concept art) and they wanted to expand upon the universe.

You don't hear me complaining about Marvel movies. I think they stink with the rancid fumes of... well you get the point. I think the actors are... some of them are good. I think others are horrible for the parts and the entire series is a yawn to me. I still enjoy it, but I think the story telling is horrid.


"These guys only answer their own questions (and doesn't do it properly either)" I think you meant to type "and don't do it properly, either)."

They answered my questions about where the aliens came from. AVP and AVPR was redundant and didn't come from the same series creators. So please disregard those movies.

Yes, you have a degree in film, but you might need a degree in science to understand the lack of it, and see the plot holes in this movie. I don't understand how nobody involved with this movie had even a basic understanding of scientific concepts. The YouTube explainers were equally clueless. All the characters in the movie are behaving like rednecks. You could send rednecks into space, and get the same result. In fact, that would make a much better movie.


"They answered my questions about where the aliens came from."

I'm sure they answered SOME questions for SOME people, but not any questions that explained the actual plot holes.


"AVP and AVPR was redundant and didn't come from the same series creators. So please disregard those movies."

Why?
It doesn't make Prometheus any better, but why should I disregard a whole movie series? This is the kind of thing that people who sell the rights to a franchise, should consider. It's like fucking: Be faithful to one storyline. Don't waste peoples money to serve people crossovers that never happened.
