Prometheus (2012)
KrazySumwhat:
Been meaning to see this for a few weeks but keep not getting around to it. iam half hearted and it seems alot of people were disappointed with it.
I like sci fi but am always sceptical about them being long and slow and boring.
Prolly be good to see for the effects i guess.
OG Jaydc:
I enjoyed the movie but I think the problem is too many people are expecting an alien film instead of looking at the film on it's own merit.
Additionally people lI've to have the story and plot spoon fed to them. This movie doesn't do that in fact it requires the use of your brain and a lot of thinking. I'd be willing to bet 85% of the audience didn't understand a good portion of the film.
For example the poster above complaint of Davidson actions because he's not supposed to feel....
SPOILERS
Near the beginning of the film David is seen watching a film and quotes a part of the movie about and I'm paraphrasing here " it does hurt, the trick is not to show it." this is key because David DOES have feelings, he's just not supposed to but he's evolved somehow. Note the sheer look of disappointment on his face when weylands hologram remarks he can't be his son because he has no soul. Theirs other examples in the film as well.
That's just a very small example of something so subtle in the story that the average person won't catch. And the entire film is like that. The films story is told in visuals in many occasions in blink and you miss it ways.
If any wants to discuss it further I'm open to that.
Now on a side note yes the film is not perfect. The characters themselves except David basically are a let down and are chosen as plot devices to further to story rather then as full fledged characters. But this film is about mythology not a character driven drama, though that doesn't excuse them.

It's like listening to some trap rap with some nice subs in your car instead of on your laptop.

Mike doesn't have a car either.
All his life experiences happen in front of his pc (tiny speakers and dim screen). He said its even been hard to see the necrophilia/scat/rape pics he's always posting.
On topic I want to see this film again before it ends its run in the cinema. Normal 2D at my local cinema

OG Jaydc:
Lol wut?
Alien was a very basic horror movie with nothing going on. I mean their was nothing to discuss.
I really think you have no clue what your talking about. In what way did it give you all the answers? Was there a scene explaining what happened at the beginning? Was there a scene explaining why the aliens decided to destroy humans after creating them? Was there a scene explaining why David acted the way he did?
No there wasn't. So how is there nothing to discuss and how were all the answers given?
