    I hope this brings back more of the tension of the original movies. Prometheus was a decent sci-fi movie, some cool visuals, but the writing could have been better, and even the directing.

    There was that scene where they bring the engineers head back to examine. Seems like a pretty fucking profound thing to be doing right? Well the main character who found the damn place, that younger guy who ends up getting infected, was just sitting on a table in the lab room drinking a bottle of wine and had no interest at all in that head. WTF? Terrible directing. He should have been so excited at that moment.

    There was a LOT of that in Prometheus. Characters not having a proper reaction to really incredible or scary things, like theyve seen it all many times before. I hope thats fixed in this.

    • There was a reason he wasn't excited. And you either didn't understand why or completely missed the scene why he explained it.severian
    • cheap tom hardy was drunk on champagne, swimming in anything and everything. i guess heavy drinking normally dulls the excitement for a thoughtful scientist.helloeatbreathedrive
