Prometheus

Post by Error » Mon Apr 15, 2013 7:34 am

Holy crap. Saw it on the weekend (on Netflix, no less) and took a look @ TV Tropes. Found a list as long as my leg:

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Film/Prometheus

Thoughts on the film, for those who've seen it?

Actual Spoiler. I'm not kidding.
Spoiler:
Prometheus is essentially an attempt by humanity to "meet their makers", and find out why they were created. This backfires when they find out the aforementioned makers were actually developing the means to kill their creations. Those means tend to be really ghastly, and may or may not involve acidic blood and giant facehuggers.

It was an OK movie, but it had plot holes like swiss cheese, and it doesn't really have anything to do with the later Alien movies.

(Kzinti script, as best as can be displayed in Human characters, translated roughly as "For the Patriarchy!")

Needs more facehugger. More than one, that is.

And less plot holes the size of the U.S.

You know the world is coming to an end when they make a movie about a Hasbro board game.
Or when they make prequels, then try to explain the plot holes.

Also, in Alien they found the dead Engineer in the pilot seat of the starship, with his chest burst open by a xenomorph. In Prometheus, he died in the escape shuttle thing.

I sure hope the Prometheus doesn't have any holes in it! That could be very lethal to the crew.

No, there were so many holes that all of the crew died in a matter of 2 and a half hours :P
