[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;51586998]i mean, if humans have technologically advanced to the extent that they can travel galaxies and to new planets, what makes you think there isn't some dial that says "yea there's nothing harmful in the air" on the ship?[/QUOTE]
There are dangers aside from microbes or viruses. Jesus, remember that spider crawling right into the dude's ear? If i was on an alien planet not really aware what creatures lurk there in the grass i'd just put as much protection as possible as a precaution. Happily walking there in those clothes just like it's their backyard looks really strange.
Not to mention that obligatory alien scene where a dude just stares inside an egg waiting to be hugged instead of running away from that obviously dangerous thing.
[QUOTE=Silly Sil;51586989]Yeah they wore suits in Prometheus and the moment there's air they take their helmets off. On an alien planet. Air =/= safe. It's not like you're not going to frigging die to a disease/bacteria/parasite/number of other reasons in a few days after you do that... Or a space goo flies into your ear and makes you transform into a killer squid or something. If you want to make it super "sciency" and potentially realistic then stick to it, make the characters behave like they actually went to an alien planet. Like they did in the original Alien no less. If it wasn't for Ash manually opening the door, Ripley would have not let Kane with a facehugger attached on board.
I realize this complaint seems petty and it would be... if it weren't for the fact that it will cause them to start dying. And we see in the trailer that it indeed is the reason they will start dying.[/QUOTE]
Jesus christ man, it's a fucking movie. Apparently you want a movie to explain every single fucking detail so it feels "REALISTIC" to you. You do know that will make the movie 50 hours long don't you? In the end you will shut it down because "too much detail, too much logic".
Again it's a movie. If the story say " THE AIR ON THIS PLANET IS AS CLEAN AS DAVIDS ROBOT ASSHOLE" then it is, move on. Why do you people do this?? Why can't you accept the air is breathable? It looks safe here etc etc. This is an Alien movie about aliens that will kill you even when you're having sexy time in the shower and not "Alien planet the Documentary".
It's like reading youtube comments.
I don't know how you got "I want a 50 hour explanation of everything on the planet" out of "taking off your helmet on an unknown alien world just because the air is currently breathable is a stupid idea".
[QUOTE=_Maverick_;51581527]Kinda lame the facehuggers reveal is same old peer into eggsack pop out jumpscare.[/QUOTE]
I wish they would do a subversion for once, like some character in the group savvy enough to keep a rifle handy and then fire at the bugger before it latches on

Hey genius!
The air is pretty breathable in Africa, but going into the jungle there would still make you susceptible for contracting tropical diseases.

Then don't go near the thing that shows fucking tons of signs of being REAL BAD.
Like the absolute cuntwit of a [I]biologist[/I] who is stupid enough to mess around with the snake in Prometheus.

Maybe build an android with no face, leaving the creature utterly confused. Or an android with lots of decoy faces, so nobody really gets hurt.
Walter is standing by as that guy gets attacked, so you never know.

I don't want a movie where they make up [B]realistic potential futuristic technology and then explain it in detail[/B]. You don't have to explain to me how the space engines work and are able to lift these massive spaceships in gravity, I'm okay with suspending my disbelief about it, it's irrelevant really.
The only thing I do want are [B]realistic characters[/B]. Because if they are fucking dumb as fuck and make stupid decisions that inevitably kill them, like say petting a space cobra worm, I'm not connected to these characters and I don't feel or root for them. When characters are smart and you support their decisions it connects you with them because you put yourself in their shoes. Case in point Alien(1979)[which should be a documentary based on your logic], they acted smart and they got fucked anyway (and it was scary to me because I'd share their fate if I was in their position). When a character is running in a straight line instead of jumping to the side when there's something rolling behind them and gets crushed, the only thing I think about that character's death is "that dumbfuck deserved it".
And having that in mind and getting to the point - Not wearing helmets on an alien, unexplored planet is a stupid idea. Space explorers wouldn't act this way, [B]it's unrealistic[/B]. And the unrealistic part isn't that they aren't getting diseases, the [B]behavior[/B] is unrealistic. It's like taking a hitchhiker who's wearing bloody clothes and a mask and has a chainsaw in his hands. I'm not going to identify with some moron who takes a hitchhiker like that and I'm not going to feel bad when the idiots from this movie get fucked over not wearing helmets. Which is [B]exactly [/B]what's going to happen based on the trailer.
