Prometheus

[Charlie boy]

I figure Prometheus will be a film I'll never watch again, definitely not in its entirety. When it comes to being screened on television it might be background noise at the most while I'm doing something else but it's just something I've got no interest in now. I liked Gladiator and Matchstick Men, which are fairly recent works, but Prometheus was a mess to me. I personally think the problems actually start once they land on the planet and alien life comes into it.

Biggest cinematic disappointment of 2012! Awful awful movie

Well scratch going to check out Prometheus in the theatres(if it's still in, I don't know because I'm just not that interested.

I'll just have to hold out till Ridley Scott gets around to doing the Forever War and hope he doesn't fuck that up.

Have to agree, boring movie that's right up it's own arse.
High art? More like 'Wet fart'.

".....and it was frankly, nice visuals aside, just a bit shit."


Radiator...you have a gift for understatement. Just a bit? Yes. If that "bit" was a shit the size of Texas.

I enjoyed Prometheus at the cinema, but it definitely seemed a bit pointless to me. It added nothing to the Alien franchise, nor did it really work as a standalone film. Loads of plot holes, too - these don't particularly bother me, as they're an inevitable aspect of storytelling, but it was hard to ignore them really.

Finally got around to seeing this and my considered opinion is:

Dull.

No, they're an inevitable aspect of lazy storytelling.

Fair enough! Think Prometheus and TDKR could be on a par for plot holes.

"ALTERNATE BEGINNING AND ENDING" is an odd way to sell a dvd. i might be up for it if it has an alternate middle as well

[Michaelvk]

I might be the only one looking forward to this..

[SmallBlueThing]

No, i am too. Never mind all the murgus spoken by the many about how 'bad' it is, i'd rather find out for myself ta. At the very worst it's an evening's entertainment at the end of which i'll turn it off and never think of it again- like most films, im sad to say.

Im not a huge fan of Alien (and certainly not Aliens) so ive not really been waiting for this all my adult life or whatever- but i confess an interest. And, given the choice between renting Prometheus, or something hugely dull like The Raid or Taken or whatever, well, at least Prometheus has monsters and allegedly scary bits so is obviously more likely to get watched in our house.

taken is like a billion times better than prometheus! it's honestly stupid, whereas prometheus is like a pompous teenager hectoring you about the meaning of life

the prometheus 'special edition' has a 3 1/2 hour making-of documentary. might have been easier if scott just popped up at the beginning of the film and apologised

For that reason alone I'd get it..

Nah, I'm looking forward to seeing it again. I saw a clip of one of the bonus scenes earlier, and thought to myself 'actually, that does explain away ONE of the movie's bugbears'.

Only flies in the ointment for me are:

I'm about to watch my day job go up in smoke, so no new stuff for me for a while,

and

I don't have a blu-ray player or HD TV, which kinda qualify as 'new stuff'. So if the DVD release is (as I'm led to believe) lacking any of the major content, then I'll be passing entirely.
