Apparently people are too snobby for this. Can't just enjoy the movie for what it is.

scatterbrained confusion is the new subtext.

A shitty movie? No I cannot enjoy this movie. It was a confusing, lifeless mess that tried to do way too many things at once. It lacks any form of a coherent plot. It's full of forgettable characters who do NOTHING that makes sense throughout the entire film. Literally nothing. Their only job in the film is to rush to the next plot point because frick you that's why. There was only one actor playing a robot but everybody else might as well have been a robot as well.
"Engineer Head explodes. Anybody want to know why? No? Okay on to the next plot point."
"Robot tries to poison douchebag mcfratbro. We won't explain any of this to you though."
"Main character girl births a squid baby. Anybody care what happened or why? Nope okay moving on."
"One of our crewmen turned into a zombie and attacked us. I don't think anyone wants an explanation of that either. Moving on."
"Hey I'm gonna crash into that ship with this ship. Yall better get into the escape pod." "Nah we're good."
"Hey robot we just survived this whole mess against all odds. Lets quickly decide to get in this ancient ship full of toxic goo that makes me birth squid babies with no food or water and look for an alien homeworld rather than going back to earth and helping move humanity forward with this technology. Surely nothing could go wrong. I mean it's not like the last alien we met just ripped your head off." "Aight."

It was awful and for a movie that hyped itself up to be an intellectual masterpiece, it was the farthest thing from it.

Because I'm voicing my opinion. You don't have to like a movie to post in a thread about it.

there's a difference between not liking a movie, and posting a Steven king novel length list of reasons why you dislike everything about it.

You're voicing your opinion about Prometheus in a thread about Prometheus 2 to people who liked/didn't hate Prometheus and want to see Prometheus 2.

No one gives a shite about your opinion.

Fassbender and Rapace are the only ones I'd like to see return. And Elba. Maybe he ejected one second before impact.

Can't wait. I love ambitious movies with big ideas--flaws be damned.

he said to the girl that he wanted to see what would happen to the human body when infected with the unknown species. remember he was there to help find a cure for the old man.

quote:

One of our crewmen turned into a zombie and attacked us. I don't think anyone wants an explanation of that either. Moving on."


the black goo melted his mask and entered his body thus making him a zombie. I thought it was explained when they found his mask all messed up in the room full of the black goo.

quote:

Hey I'm gonna crash into that ship with this ship. Yall better get into the escape pod." "Nah we're good."


they told their captain we came this far with you and we are going to stick with you besides they told him he could not pilot the ship by himself.

quote:

Hey robot we just survived this whole mess against all odds. Lets quickly decide to get in this ancient ship full of toxic goo that makes me birth squid babies with no food or water and look for an alien homeworld rather than going back to earth and helping move humanity forward with this technology. Surely nothing could go wrong. I mean it's not like the last alien we met just ripped your head off." "Aight."


she was pissed about everything that had happened plus she saw in the ship that the engineers planned to destroy earth and I guess recolonize the earth she decided to go to where the ship came from and stop them from their home world.

quote:

Main character girl births a squid baby. Anybody care what happened or why? Nope okay moving on."

I will give you this one I don't remember them explaining this in detail.

quote:

I figured it had something to do with the xenophile species since all you ever saw was pictures of them and that was what the engineers were trying to keep locked up and were running from.


I will watch the 2nd one and I can say that the 2nd and 3rd time watching prometheus I saw and understood more than the first time I viewed the film.

Bingo.

Not only that, but this will be a sequel to Prometheus, but won't actually be about Prometheus. It will be it's own movie, but not really it's own movie. But yeah, it's a sequel, but not to Prometheus, it's actually a sequel to Alien. But it isn't a sequel either, it just happens in the same universe, but....

This oould be the best thing to happen to this movie, easily. Lindelhof is a plague upon coherent narrative and good storytelling.
