Honest Trailers - Prometheus - General

[video=youtube;RBaKqOMGPWc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBaKqOMGPWc&feature=g-u-u[/video] I thought it was pretty funny

Benjamin Button haha

moral of the story is damon lindeloff is a fucking retard

I've been a very big fan of Super Vagina's work in every movie it played in. Such great acting! Cheers to it.

Oh god this completely puts me off on attempting to watch this. I didn't even know it was an attempted prequel in some sort also not changing anyones heartbeat rate, professionals at their finest.

Prometheus was absolutely underwhelming.

and it wouldn't have been had it actually had a competent writer who could make something that made sense but it didn't it was still highly entertaining and I'm glad i saw it but it fell apart because the script was absolute balls

If you're not going to watch it just because some person on youtube pointed out funny bits from it, you are a very sad man. Most of the sets in the movie (the ship, the caves) were actually made by carpenters in order to give the film a more authentic look, as well as to help the actors fit their roles easier. The visual effects were gorgeous and the characters were engaging. But obviously identical heart rates, a little visualizations which you only see for a split second, are obviously going to ruin this theatrical composition.

I'm still wondering what that green crystal was all about. I mean in the movie, the camera panned to it and stuff, so I was absolutely sure of that it'd play it's part later in the movie. But it never appeared again.

But it never appeared again.[/QUOTE] To be honest, the movie pointed to a lot of things which it later didn't address. I left the movie theatre feeling thoroughly frustrated. I don't mind questions being left unanswered, but this was a whole fucking movie with questions left completely blank, or questions brought up and then forgotten about. I found it irritating, but I still enjoyed the movie and would recommend it to any of my friends (granted, I'll let them know they'll probably leave the theatre rubbing their heads and getting more and more annoyed as the questions just pile up).

The thing that annoyed me the most about Prometheus, was the EXTREMELY retarded crew. I laughed when they all take their helmets off without checking whether the air is clean or not. What moron does that? They did EVERYTHING wrong.

I hated this movie. Poor writing ruined it.

Prometheus was a decent sci-fi movie. It can stand up on its own, just don't go see it expecting a new modern classic or an actual extension of the Alien universe. I appreciate that films like this exists too.

I lost it completely at Benjamin Button.

I liked the movie three times more after reading up on the actual symbolisms in it. When I watched it I was left with a ton of questions of course, but after reading about it I realized that the movie is pretty well made. And the creator of this trailer doesn't really seem to know about this. Great movie, not movie of the year, but good. Here, if you wanna know what I'm talking about.

Ultimately it's a pretty bad movie, but it's got a lot of extremely interesting ideas and some excellently-executed setpieces... the [sp]abortion[/sp] scene was very much a modern chestburster.

I laughed at "super vagina" because that's exactly what I thought when I watched it... Oh god why would I think that?

i still like this movie

Super Vagina. My sides turned into gps balls

[QUOTE=rrunyan;37933804]I laughed at "super vagina" because that's exactly what I thought when I watched it... Oh god why would I think that?[/QUOTE] pretty much everything in the Alien universe is meant to remind you of dicks and vaginas. that's what happens when you get someone who used to be an erotic artist to do all your concept designs, I guess.

[URL]http://cavalorn.livejournal.com/584135.html[/URL][/QUOTE] [sp]Symbolism doesn't fix plot holes, extremely stupid characters that are straight from "scary movie" that I don't care about in the slightest and obvious plot devices that make no logical sense. This is all poor writing. When Vickers runs away from the falling ship in a straight line I was reminded of this scene http://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=HCJDZwVwJaY#t=184s . The obvious "it's been 30 minutes of the movie, we need to kill someone, lets kill geologist and biologist (because they're not essencial to the plot and we've shown few scenes with them so the audience knows who that is), we need to separate them from the group somehow, okay I know, they want to leave... because they get scared of... dead alien and then... they get lost for no reason and then... a storm comes and everyone else escapes to the ship but those 2 can't leave because they are lost in the tunnels and then they get killed in a way that's straight out of parody because I won't be arsed to think how to kill characters that don't act like idiots (because I want to spend more time putting symbolism into the movie)" just boggles me. And the guy in the link you've posted is trying too hard. I'm not saying he's wrong on everything but he's way, way too defensive about all the things that make no sense. He implies that the engineer's head explodes because the "Engineer wanted to die again, to undo the tainted human agenda of new life without sacrifice.", yeah putting "symbolism" behind every bullshit, doesn't fix the bullshit. Action in Prometheus follows the usual "a group of people goes somewhere and gets killed one by one until there is usually 1 person left" but it tries too hard on being deep, meaningful, symbolic, epic and mysterious. If the movie would concentrate on being a movie where people fight something unknown like alien, aliens, predator, the thing, etc and make the characters interesting, likable and not complete imbeciles then the movie would be much better. Instead we're left with a movie that looks nice, has 1 character that we give a fuck about, that has some good action and pace but is filled with plot holes, utterly moronic characters and lack of explanation of almost everything. I'm guessing that this is for next 2 movies, but it should stand on it's own.[/sp]

Why are their helmets made of glass that shatters extremely easily

[QUOTE=LordApocca;37932204]The thing that annoyed me the most about Prometheus, was the EXTREMELY retarded crew. I laughed when they all take their helmets off without checking whether the air is clean or not. What moron does that? They did EVERYTHING wrong.[/QUOTE] The only reason they did everything wrong is because apparently lazy writers can now only produce a disgusting caricature of a horror plot because otherwise they can't come up with creative ways to kill off the characters. Like at the end they couldn't figure out a way to kill their most well-known actress that they fucking have in that movie so they just threw in a bunch of CGI and said fuck it might as well get rid of her too Why didn't they just use and old fucking man to play the old man, that's what got me the most.

There wasn't a couple instances of something not really adding up, it was throughout the whole damn movie.

The visuals were shockingly beautiful and the acting by Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender was excellent. The problem was that those two were the only half-way engaging characters, and EVERYONE except for Fassbender and Theron were suffers of the stupid virus. Almost every single character in the film acted like a complete dipshit with absolutely no regard for scientific protocol or the slightest hint of common sense. Damn near ruined the film for me.

Really Theron wasn't stupid really

[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;37934632]Really Theron wasn't stupid really[/QUOTE] I don't remember any overtly stupid things she did, so by comparison to the rest of the crew she was very intelligent.

[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;37934632]Really Theron wasn't stupid really[/QUOTE] Relative to the others? She wasn't too bad. Y'know, until that final sequence when neither person ran sideways to avoid being crushed.

David killed him because he asked how much he was willing to sacrifice for this mission or something, he answered everything.
