What's not to understand?

1. It almost nothing to add to the universe. It made everything more complicated at the same time. There were so many better answers, Scott just avoided them because they were easy. He though "complexity" would come through "obscurity" and that's not always the best option.

2. It ruined the previous movies, honestly. Those wrong answers made everything else just blah.

3. The acting, outside of Elba and Rapace, was somewhat terrible

4. The baby? Come the f on. Just no.





It WAS brilliantly shot and presented. Great production values. It was a spectacle more than anything else. A vapid, inconsequential spectacle.

Michael Fassbender says hi

as for the rest, I acknowledge the problems with prometheus of which there are a handful (just so happens that one of them leads to like i said 50,000 questions), but it is still a solid movie. I'm not saying it's great, unless I'm only comparing it to sci fi films of the last 15-20 years. and hell yes it is better than john carter. John Carter, nothing was great about it. Prometheus had a few great things

the baby? I don't know what the frick the ooz is or how it functions or how it was meant to function so i have no fricking clue. witholding judgement on that one. ETA: though it should have been explained. That was the biggest misstep of the movie along with the role of vickers
