Prometheus

stevew · 05-13-2012, 12:34 PM

Let's see...
Ridley Scott
Original Dragon Tattoo Girl
Stringer Bell
Charlize Theron

I've been tempering my enthusiasm, but this looks freaking amazing.

spleen1015 · 05-13-2012, 12:36 PM

I am looking forward to it, A LOT!

Kodos · 05-13-2012, 12:43 PM

Really looking forward to this one.

sterlingice · 05-13-2012, 12:44 PM

Same as stevew- I want to get really excited but have to temper my enthusiasm.

High pedigree (Ridley Scott) directing, Damon Lindelof writing, and a lot of character actors but no real big names. This sounds like a similar formula that had me excited for Avatar and it delivered for me. This probably won't be the special effects pushing movie that was but it will probably have a stronger core narrative.

SI

stevew · 05-13-2012, 01:10 PM

I'm really excited about this movie being rated R. It seems like a movie of this budget and/or scope would normally keep it safe and get the PG13 rating, but the fact that it didn't leads me to believe that there's probably a real directors vision here.

Matthean · 05-13-2012, 01:54 PM

Add Michael Fassbender to the list as well. His viral trailer for the movie was good stuff.

Grover · 05-13-2012, 02:07 PM

Plus it takes place in the same universe as Alien. What's not to love?

PadresFan104 · 05-13-2012, 02:36 PM

Regarding it being in the Alien Universe.... A couple shots in the trailer reminded me of the alien craft/pilot they discover in the first Alien film... This looks awesome!!!!

Grover · 05-13-2012, 02:51 PM

It was originally going to be a prequel, but Scott decided to turn it into an original movie. It will definitely have references to Alien.

JediKooter · 05-13-2012, 03:10 PM

It takes place on one if the LV planets from the Alien movies. I think LV223 instead of LV426 in the Zeta Reticuli 2 system.

They've got a great viral campaign going on right now for the movie.

This is the movie that has been tops on my list since the day I heard about it.

At this point I dont get how its not a prequel. It has the Weyland corporation, it has the space jockey, and it appears to at the very least have the facehuggers eggs.

Grover · 05-13-2012, 03:42 PM

It's not a direct prequel. It's a side-story that takes place before the first Alien.

Those are Ridley Scott's words, not mine.

Julio Riddols · 05-13-2012, 07:52 PM

Less than a month away. First movie I HAVE to see in the theater in a looong time.

Grammaticus · 05-14-2012, 06:37 AM

Agree, this one looks to be great.

DataKing · 05-14-2012, 09:55 AM

Definitely an opening nighter for me and the GF. And I'm almost ashamed to admit, but it has been years since I've seen the original Alien. That strikes me as a good prep exercise a day or two before it opens...

Scoobz0202 · 06-05-2012, 09:48 PM

So, this comes out this week.

I think I am going to pop my 3D cherry this week and see what it is about. I noticed a local theater has Prometheus 3D and Prometheus 3D+IMAX. Is there a "better" one?

I think 3D IMAX is amazing, it was the "right" way to watch Avatar to me..and I think it would be for Prometheus too..

Matthean · 06-05-2012, 10:05 PM

3D is only good if the film was made for it from the start. If it was added on later...

ISiddiqui · 06-05-2012, 11:48 PM

Getting very excited about it myself. Just got the Alien Anthology on Blu-ray (Amazon had an amazing deal a week ago)! Watched Alien and am definitely wanting to see this!

JediKooter · 06-06-2012, 10:41 AM

Just a word of warning (not really spoilerish)...

Scott and Lindelof have stated that this is not an 'Alien' prequel. It is set in the Alien universe before the events of Alien, but, it is not a direct prequel. So don't expect the xenomorph or the classic chestbursters or facehuggers.

My only concern is the Lindelof factor. Since Lost was his baby and I couldn't stand Lost, I am worried.

Scoobz0202 · 06-06-2012, 10:46 AM

Yea, early reviews have me tempering my expectations dramatically. If the eye candy is worth it and the plot is at least halfway decent than I'll be satisfied.

JediKooter · 06-06-2012, 10:51 AM

I heard the eye candy was awesome, with mixed opinions on the 3D versus 2D.

Honolulu_Blue · 06-06-2012, 10:54 AM

Been looking forward to this for a while.

Ridley Scott. Set in the Alien universe. Stellar cast. Looks fantastic.

No way would I see this in 3D. I have zero interest in 3D. I saw Avatar in 3D and the glasses hurt my eyes and I felt like it really made the colors look quite dull and washed out.

I will either save the extra money or spend it on getting a larger, more comfortable reserved seat.

Kodos · 06-06-2012, 10:58 AM

I prefer 2D as well.

I'm with you on Ridley and the cast. Scott has always had an awesome eye for visuals/cinematography, with my favorite being Gladiator for some reason, though Blade Runner and Alien are maybe .01% behind on my list.

I'm with you on not going to waste my money on seeing it in 3D. Not because of the glasses or any other physical thing. I just don't like 3D, period, for 'live action' movies. Paying an extra 5 dollars so you can see things jump at you, isn't really all that much of an incentive to pay for 1950s technology.

Early reviews were actually pretty strong, and even now, two days before release, it sits at 77% approval rate on rottentomatoes with 65 reviews already.

That's a pretty positive result. Just how high were your expectations?

Chief Rum · 06-06-2012, 11:04 AM

I'm with the non-3D crowd. I have never gotten the thrill of it. And now they want to charge so much extra to see it in 3D? Wow, sounds like a big time money grab to me. I don't plan to ever see anything in 3D if I can help it.

Im a little dissapointed to know its not as connected to the other films as id hoped but Ill just try to rewatch the original before the weekend.

Sir, if 77% approval rating after 65 reviews on rottentomatoes is too low for you, I assure you, the movie is not what's at fault.

jeff061 · 06-10-2012, 03:33 PM

Just saw it, liked it. Last time I watched Alien I was all nostalgic for the days without massive amounts of CGI. Prometheus certainly had that, but it was much more subtle and relied on old school hand crafted props and scenery. Wish we saw more of that.

Spoiler

jeff061 · 06-10-2012, 04:29 PM

Upon further reflection, I don't think that's the case, but I wish it was.

BillJasper · 06-10-2012, 04:59 PM

I liked the movie. But the relationship between the Engineers/Xenomorphs was really muddled. I guess it was intentional, so as to have material for the inevitable sequels...

Karim · 06-10-2012, 06:16 PM

Here's an exceptional analysis of the move (full of spoilers):

Spoiler

They did leave some open ends for a potential sequel. I hope it does well enough so we do get a sequel that is on par as Aliens was to Alien.

My biggest fear going into this movie was Lendelof of Lost writing fame. On a scale of 1 to 10 on how many open ended questions and useless plot twists I expected from his Lost days: 8/10, but, after seeing the movie, it's more like 3/10. So not as many as I expected.

jeff061 · 06-11-2012, 12:12 PM

Yeah, I was reaching to close the open ends so that there was some semblance of meaning to be gleaned from it. It was a fun movie, but to be honest there was almost no story to speak of. It was a 2 hour question.

JediKooter · 06-11-2012, 12:24 PM

The story was a question, yes..."who created us?".

Subby · 06-11-2012, 12:31 PM

The scene where Noomi Rapace was having the automated c-section in the medical tube was OFF THE FUCKING HOOK. Seriously - I was just blown away by how good that was.

Which was answered in about 5 minutes. Then no advancement until they meet an engineer, who awakens and tries to kill them for no explained reason. And that's about the storyline of the movie.

As dull as I am making it sound, I really did enjoy it. It was not a dull movie.

It was answered kind of quickly, but, we knew the answer much much sooner than the characters did, because we benefited from seeing the opening scene and quickly put two and two together.

It's like a slasher movie, we know the killer is in the basement, why is the babysitter going down there? Well, she doesn't know that the killer is in there like we do.

Same. Though for me its people on another forum I frequent - universally bad reviews from people of very different movie watching preferences.

I wonder if those people who didn't like it, thought it was supposed to be a direct prequel to Alien? I've seen that group of people and then there seems to be another group of people that from reading their critiques, they must have been in the bathroom because they are missing some very obvious things that happened in the movie.

Pyser · 06-11-2012, 01:55 PM

well JK is being very vocal, but its just one voice. i wasn't expecting an alien prequel, but i thought the movie was lacking. some good scenes, but not a good movie. not a good story. way too many questions, no idea who the characters were, etc.

spleen1015 · 06-11-2012, 01:56 PM

"My movie review of Prometheus: STUPID! (so disappointing)"

I've seen a few posts like that. No more elaboration. Then, lots of folks saying "Thanks for the review! I'll save my money."

ISiddiqui · 06-11-2012, 02:09 PM

It seems to me that expectations harm this. Some people just call it stupid, others say what the people do make no sense (or they are too cliched movie wise), and others were expecting much more. From what I get from this thread is that you should just go into it with little expectations and just enjoy the ride.

jeff061 · 06-11-2012, 02:12 PM

It has the feeling and atmosphere of Alien, which is something I thought was extinct. To me that alone makes it worthwhile checking out.

But yeah, if you don't care about that in the least, you'll likely walk away disappointed.

I'm really hoping that a sequel will answer the questions that Prometheus left open. I'm just glad this movie wasn't an abomination like Alien3 thru AvP Requiem were.

Spoiler So I'm assuming the story basically is about the created replacing their creators as matter of biological imperative. Human's creators wanted to wipe out humans because they realized that humans would inevitably try to kill them. Just as David spent the movie trying to attack his creators by first trying to smuggle an alien organism back to Earth and then I believe flying that spaceship loaded with biological weapons back to Earth(drawing a conclusion on that). This all pretty widely accepted? Only question is whether the robot has the ability to think on his own at that level. That's the only explanation I could find that explained David's actions. __________________ Last edited by jeff061 : 06-10-2012 at 03:34 PM.

Some people just call it stupid, others say what the people do make no sense (or they are too cliched movie wise), and others were expecting much more. From what I get from this thread is that you should just go into it with little expectations and just enjoy the ride. __________________ "A prayer for the wild at heart, kept in cages" -Tennessee Williams

But yeah, if you don't care about that in the least, you'll likely walk away disappointed. __________________
