We should put this into perspective. We felt let down by this film but really when you look at the entire Lien series... the first one was memorable (and good, really fucking good) because it did something original: it took the horror genre into space. The second movie was a rollicking good action movie and most people enjoyed it, but it wasn't an conic piece of cinema. The third movie, well I enjoyed it to be honest, but most thought it sucked. Alien 4 was utter cacka, and then there's the Alien vs Predator shite.
So really we're expressing our disappointment in the latest installment of a set of films that really only has one, aging, gem in it, and if we were to be really really REALLY honest about it... that first film wasn't exactly perfect either.
I thought Prometheus was utter shit and I was bitterly disappointed, but at this point now I think its merely a film that reflects the state of cinematic movie making now and it could probably not have been any other way... much the same as the original Alien was a film that perfectly reflected the state of cinematic movie making back then and would not have been any other way either.
- Alien, not Lien.Horp
- I disagree that it could "not have been any other way". I think this could have had a great story.monospaced
