Watching the T4 movie special on Prometheus. This shit really does look good!

The fact that it's getting a sort-of good wrap on qbn means it must be pretty shit hot. I've rarely seen a blockbuster film go down well here...

Saw this last night (in 3D, as it's actually harder in London to find the 2D, but there you go).
Won't ruin it for the Americans who have to wait a week, but it's a great cinema film - Mark Kermode's review is pretty accurate - and Fassbender is top draw, one of the best performances of his career.

This movie will be good for the teens who haven't been drowned in Giger's work over the past 20 years. ugh! Maybe it time for a alien makeover?
Boring!
- They're faithful to the original art direction. Giger's work still looks fresh after all these years. Top notchbiusness
- what do you mean faithful to original art direction?74LEO
- Talking about taking the original Alien styling & making it still work in 2012, it just doesn't date. Amazing for a sci-fibiusness
- I think you are wrong I expected more.teh

Saw it on Imax last night. It really sucked. Someone needs to shoot that Lost fuck with because he's steadily ruining everything with his myopic monorail approach.
Definitely a sequel coming. This set of prequels might best George Lucas in the 'what the fuck have to done to your own franchise' charts.
Weel sloppy pointless characters. What the fuck is the actual functional purpose of Theron's character for example. Utterly fucking pointless. God I'm so disappointed.
Do not fuck Mad Max 4 up, film-maker people. Do not.
- should say "shoot that Lost fuckwit" not shoot that lost fuck with.Horp
- Conversely, you were a fairly big fan of 'Look who's talking now' if i recall correctly, so I'm not sure whether to trust youdetritus
- What?? I don't think I've even ever heard of Look Who's Talking Now. Isn't that a big baby with John Travolta or something?Horp
- something?Horp
- After googlieing I can confirm I never ever saw that movie Detritus. Must be a case of Miss Taken's Eye Dentistry.Horp
- Bullshit - I've seen the fan stickers, old and peeling as they are, festooning the back of your van.detritus

Come on. It really sucked?? Seriously? I coudl understand it if you thought it was average, but this movie was way better than most of the action junk that is released these days.
And why does every aspect ( and character) of a movie have to be perfect? Most movies are so over explained that a monkey could understand them. I find it liberating that some directors trust the viewers to fill in some gaps..use your imagination..
- Whaaaat? This film isn't bad because I'm incapable of filling in gaps, its crap because its sloppy and incoherent.Horp
- Well, i didnt think it was and apparently so didnt 80% of imdb&rottentomato users either...inv
- As long as you're in the majority you're okay buddy. General rule for life actually... go with the herd.Horp

And what about therons character (vikers)? Just because she is the most famous person in the cast does she need to have an important role? If someone else played her role you wouldnt care. She had to be there, but wasnt any more important than the captain or whatever (and not given more screentime either)
- I couldn't give a fuck who the actor was, my question is, what was the purpose of the character?Horp
- She was the expedition leader...there had to be someone...inv
- Do you still play with action figures?Horp
- I think the where playing with the artifial child / real child relationship but that really didn't came out ->tank02
- because they where giving johnny rotten, the geology guy to much screentime...tank02

I give it 6 out of 10 points on gut feeling.
- Its about that.
8 for visuals. 4 for script. 3 for plot. 12 for daftness.Horp - "What's this in the big room in your private quarters" "Oh that? Don't worry, its just something we need later on in the film"Horp
- Thats usually how movies work...inv
- Some movies tend to go with that approach, yeah. Its always easier, for sure.Horp
- I havent seen the moviedrgs
- What did you think of it Drgs?Horp
- Its about that.

I didn't even know it was written by the writer of Lost. The writing of Lost was horrible.
FUCK.
- Correct: the writing on Lost was terrible after it was pretty good. The show went to shit because they realized they didn't have that manymg33
- that many seasons worth of a story to tell. I'm still bitter about it.mg33
- My impression of Lost is that they made it up as they went alongukit2
- Raised a lot of questions and then answered none of them satisfactorilyukit2

Poor - good 1st hour building tension but then descended into typical unintelligent Hollywood CGI dross... Holes in script everywhere and some real cringe moments (not good cringe). Also avoid the 3D version - added nothing. Oh and the music - awful - OTT melodrama style. V.disappointed.

74LEO & co. are borderline trolling here. Yes, we know you didn't like it. Yes, we know you want to tell us that.
...but if you're reading this forum before watching the movie then it's your own fucking fault. Was hoping to have a decent discussion with the Americans over this one, hopefully won't be derailed.
Certainly a flawed movie. Lots of silly, superfluous BS, plotholes and loose ends all over the show (in a bad way), but you can see what Ridley was trying to do with the core of the story. And there were some interesting bits that has us chatting with randoms on the bus ride all the way home (like the constant reference to Christianity and the fact the Engineers were coming back to destroy us "about 2000 years ago"...)

Saw it last night.
I made sure not indulge in over expectation before I saw it.Was breath taking. Especially 'the scene'.
The scenes immediately after 'the scene' were a bit rushed, and some were not needed, but overall a fantastic film. Yes Fassbender was superb. Rapace was great too.- wordy words! did you see the crushed blacks for this?teh

AMAZING FILM.
You surely have to be into Sci-fi, alien theories, evolution, etc. to enjoy this.
I loved it and all the small little details. I'd watch it again.It's a very different type of film and definitely not everybody's cup of tea.
- clearThoughts0
Can we move on and start discussing the film? Through some spoilers in the thread???
Like the meaning of the engineer's first scene...
- That's easy. He sacrificed himself to create life. Destroyed his own DNA and it reconstituted to animal/human in the waterbiusness

Still excited to see this...but I'm worried by the large number of negative reviews, both here and on other sites.
Could it be this year's Phantom Menace/ Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?
- Best to ignore those reviews. See it for your own enjoyment & make your own mind up.AVAVA
