A24 4,338 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Okay .. I've rewatched Alien vs. Predator. It's a silly film but the fight scenes between aliens and predators are pretty good. How is it similar to Prometheus again, Steef? Help me out here, my memory is fuzzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 The themes of Prometheus are speak and spell clichés for the FHM generation, done a million times before and far more substantially. Again, the script is the culprit, because visual themes (such as the eyes in Blade Runner) aren't apparent, or at least successfully conveyed.Are Koray and Thor FHM readers?Did I ever profess my deep and profound love for Prometheus? I enjoyed it on a filmic level, didn't think it was nearly as atrocious as many here claimed it to be. I also think I was one of the first people to point at the script as its fatal flaw.

The problems I saw in the theatre still exist. Like MoS I so wanted to like or love this film.I'm sure I'd go see it if it does bridge Prometheus to Alien better.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Prometheus could have been really good if it was more directly related to Alien. The poor plot and character decisions are what ruins it. I enjoyed it enough that I will go see the sequel but it's not like I'm excited for it.

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 the last scene with the creature bursting from the engineer's chest has no impact. sure some fanboys were creaming their pants thinking the xenomorph was the same as in the Alien films but it was not. We know at this point the xenomorphs in Alien has been around a lot longer and those murals on the ceilings gave credence to that belief, not to mention Predator 2, and the AVP films(assuming anyone give them any canon like authority).

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 It should have been the same planet. What they found in Alien should have been the remains of Prometheus without all the weird gene mutations transferring from one organism to another to finally get to something that only looks remotely like a Xenomorph.

I enjoyed it enough that I will go see the sequel but it's not like I'm excited for it.Exactly. It was a prequel, yet they tried to disconnect it which severely hurt the film. I didn't mind some of the side characters, and think that people were just extremely critical of the film because they expected a masterpiece and forgot that Scott is not nearly the same director anymore. That being said, if I do watch the sequel it'd definitely be a Super Tuesday or Netflix viewing for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delorean90 42 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I'm looking forward to it. I loved the setup at the end with David and Shaw going out to find the home planet. The film should've ended there. The pseudo-xenomorph thing should've been post-credits if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed it enough that I will go see the sequel but it's not like I'm excited for it.Exactly. It was a prequel, yet they tried to disconnect it which severely hurt the film. I don't get this. The more a film is related to Alien, the better? Prometheus could've been good if the material was good (psst, it wasn't). Alien was based on a good screenplay. That was the basis for making the film in the first place. It inspired people to make a great film. These days, however, people are making films based on literally nothing. It's the same with Blade Runner 2. There is nothing, no great idea, not a fantastic book, not a great screenplay ... but Ridley Scott wants to make a film anyway and so he orders Hampton Fancher to come up with a story and then he orders Green Lantern/Smallville/Heroes writer Michael Green to (re)write that story so he can make another film. Hmmm ...If it was 1978 and Prometheus was one of the many scripts lying on Ridley's desk, he would not even have considered it. But since Scott was the one who 'commissioned' it, it somehow seems there is no way back. Alex DarthDementous 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 The connection with Alien only makes the film worse, because it painfully forces a comparison with a much, much better film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,338 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 There's another problem ... Scott has become too powerful. Nobody had to guts to say, "But Ridley, this script sucks!"

Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Mediocrely [sic] written? The screenplay was awful. Only good things it had going were the production design and Fassbender and Rapace's performances. Scott's direction was as cold and unengaging as ever.You know, the more his career progresses, the more his ad-man colours begin to show through. He's a snake oil salesman of pseudo-existential bullshit, and boy is he good it at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,338 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 The direction didnt elevate the film at all.Thank you, Steef! Of course the production feels top-notch. Prometheus costs a gazillion bucks and technically it's a well-oiled product from the Scott factory. But the direction and overall artistry is bland as the screenplay. The strong passion that Scott displayed in his early movies has been long gone.Alex Sharkissimo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,338 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Well said, Alexcremers! (Oh, that's me!

Matt C 454 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Prometheus 2 (not the official title) has hired Michael Green to do a rewrite on Jack Paglen's script, and will be Ridley Scott's next movie after delivering Exodus to 20th Century Fox in the fall. (Additionally, the film is expected to use several versions of Michael Fassbender's David, but no word on whether Noomi Rapace is returning.)http://www.thewrap.com/prometheus-2-lands-green-lantern-writer-may-feature-multiple-michael-fassbenders-exclusive/And that will be the 'Untitled Ridley Scott Project' Fox slated for March 4, 2016.
