Jay 37,373 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I guess in Alex's world fine = great? And also apparently he thinks that I said that some helment scene I don't remember was the only problem with the film, despite me specifically saying I thought the story, plot, and dialogue were all bad.

The direction, cast, set design, effects were all fine. We can argue about individual moments but Prometheus is a very professional production. It just isnt a good film.

Jay 37,373 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 It's one of those films that was not only very bad, but its badness was made even worse by the fact that I had such high hopes for it. Now I'm back to being jaded and assuming every movie will suck so I can sometimes be occasionally pleasantly surprised, but generally never really let down Corellian2019 and DarthDementous 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, then look at it this way, the rest of the movie was professional but not interesting enough to compensate for the bad script. That why I blame it too.

crumbs 14,319 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 The deleted scenes don't help that much, to be honest. Maybe except for the deleted first creature discovery in the pyramid: an alien slug which the biologist gets all excited about, explaining why he was excited to find the even bigger penis-alien later on in the vase room. Still, it's stupid how these scientists, on a scientific exploration mission across the galaxy (that they apparently weren't briefed about before leaving Earth) jump back and forth between terrified and excited. Piles of dead alien bodies? Horrifying! Living, gigantic penis-aliens? Cute and cuddly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 12/25/2016 at 6:20 AM, Thor said: The choice of Jed Kurzel is very intriguing. He's done some interesting scores for THE BABADOOK and SLOW WEST, in particular, and should be able to carry the eerieness and the originality requried. Looking forward to hear what he'll come up with. Marc Streitenfeld's PROMETHEUS has grown on me on album over the years (although HGW's "Life" theme is still the best part), but this is a more progressive choice, I think.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 So another big Hollywood blockbuster that's being scored by an unknown? In 1979 Ridley employed the services of Jerrald King Goldsmith. Already a veteran composer at that time. These days he just uses anyone...
