Happy Birthday David (NEW Prometheus Viral!) - YouTube

[Lomac]

I'm so excited about this movie, as I'm a huge fan of Alien and Aliens (Alien 3 & 4, along with the two AvP movies ruined the series... at least IMO).

This movie is loosely based on the Alien universe. That is to say, the space jockey from the first movie and the origin of that particular race is part of the focus, but the aliens that we know from the other movies will not be appearing. I read something with Scott stating that while this movie (and any possible sequels) is loosely based in the Alien universe, it's not a direct prequel and will be more of a "reboot" than anything else.

Should still be good, though. :fullofwin:

[StylinRed]

anyone going to see this tonight?

[optiblue]

.

[murd0c]

Can you spoiler that shit especially about the end comment WTF

I'm going Sat....

[k00laid]

^^good thing I saw your comment before I decided to scroll through the thread

[murd0c]

I'm ficken livid right now cause I have been excited about a movie in ages. I just reported it since nothing has been done yet.

[SkinnyPupp]

Glad I could edit without reading it. Fucking moron

[eclipseman]

I saw it last night in 3D. Loved it.

[Tegra_Devil]

damn.....gonna have to check it out...

[604pt]

Caught the midnight showing at metro last night. Solid 9/10.

[krazynuck]

^ Nice was it busy?

I will be going Tuesday....really looking forward to it

[ime2006]

Going to watch it Saturday Night 11 PM at Metro....

A lot of my Friends said is epic ~~~ Its a must watch film if you love Alien movies.

[iwantaskyline]

So many god damn questions I have...

[beanzzz]

Visually the film looked awesome, however I thought the last half of the movie was rushed. 7.5/10

[b0unce. [?]]

Anyone else thought nearly every scene was a bit predictable?
example:
david touching that black shit. you knew he was gonna poison someone.
the moment fifield kissed shaw. i said to myself "alien baby".
2 guys left alone in the tunnels. dead for sure.
when david speaks to the space jockey people at the end. you knew he was about to fuck everybody up


too many unanswered questions and shit that i felt didn't make sense throughout the movie
they never explained why that space jockey dude in the first scene drank that shit
the 2 guys that got left behind. first to leave and had the most time to get out and they get lost. also, one of them is the navigator. they also decide to touch that penis snake looking thing when it spawns. the dude with the tattoos was too scared to go into the room but now he's ballsy enough to stick around when that alien thing is right infront of him?
after shaw got the caesarean section, she just left that squid thing just chilling in that room. it was never dead. she never thought to report that to anyone? or at the very least i would imagine every room might have a camera or something. either way that bothered me through the movie cause in the back of my mind i knew that thing was stilll there and they just ignored it.
the space jockey people never spoke too. when david speaks to them near the end of the movie, i thought they were going to say something before fucking everybody up.


i thought the overall acting was great. cgi was well done. i felt it was way over hyped. a bit of a let down to be honest. i was expecting this to be amazing.

5/10

[murd0c]

I thought it was very good and the CGI was excellent for a movie that is mainly filmed in front of a green screen. I thought the story was told well and even tho there are lots of questions thats what you want from a movie

I give it a 8.5/10

[KingDeeCee]

Considering it's Ridley Scott, the home video release will probably have a director's cut that answerers these unanswered questions.

[xmisstrinh]

It wasn't terrible but it wasn't my cup of tea.

[pinn3r]

It wasn't terrible but it wasn't my cup of tea.

'cause you're a woman lol :awesom:

[2damaxmr2]

6/10. It is probably the worst movie he made. I blame the sloppy writer and fox for fucking up the script.

[LiquidTurbo]

Just watched the 1979 Alien to prime myself for the movie! How does it compare?

[MrGoodbar]

Warning: Major Spoilers beginning to end for the rating I have chosen to give the movie.


I was facepalming the whole way through the movie thinking that these "scientists" lack any common sense that you would otherwise find in any other normal human being. Or perhaps my standards of common sense is unreasonably high.

The writers are either smashing their heads against the keyboard to write something comprehensible or the budget was 0 and went all into the CGI.

The movie started off ok, it set the stage and pretty much tells us that anything that happened before man kind started that these otherworld humans created us. Fuck theory of evolution, fuck religion, fuck all that; no not saying it was aliens, but aliens created us. A few millennium ago, these people that created us decided to fuck all that and kill all humans.

Wait what? They developed super bio-weapons (the Aliens we know today) just to kill us when we didn't even have internet yet? Jesus, talk about angry people. Videos of them getting drunk or doing something stupid haven't even had the chance to hit Youtube yet and they decided to some how that we should exact some kind of revenge to have us shit ourselves and die. Uh ok. Seems reasonable. It's incredibly vague how far back these creators go to decidedly create us.

Ok so that's basically the premise of the movie. It's what's in between where the writing gets stupidly unbelievable and without throwing out all sense of reason out the window, the movie would be 2 minutes long.

So a rag tag group of scientists get woken up by some creepy-ass android after a long journey to another planet and the bright idea of the gung-ho scientist (Elizabeth Shaw) wanted to go explore without any weapons for protection that someone "suggested" taking along; more like already holding it in his hands with a power trip. Dude, if I go to another planet I'd be rocking AK47s or whatever the hell I could get my hands on just in case.

Let's compare this to something like let's say...... StarTrek. The most pacifist franchise in science fiction that has to do with exploration. Even THEY bring phasers and shit to mess shit up if things go south. Why would this stupid scientist not protect herself. And why would the bad ass geologist that already had the gun in his hand get convinced so easily not to bring a fucking flame thrower with him for protection. I guess they didn't want to stereotype men and their fascination with firearms or weapons.

Ok, fine, fuck the weapons and risk getting fucked up by shit they find on the planet. Let's find some cave with breathable air. Oh let's then suggest that we take off our helmets and disregard anything about potential airborne viruses and what not. Oh, they tripped off some hologram showing them large humanoids (at least twice the size of humans) running away from something. Obviously there's something messed with the situation but they decide to move on. Good move. Mapping out the entire cavern was actually a good idea that the geologist comes up with but he pussied out and grabbed his buddy and booked it out of the cave. Smart, logical idea. Somehow even though they leave first, they never make it back :seriously:

So after a long drawn out trip back to the ship, the ship is now a festering petri dish. No one thought that they should decontaminate themselves or scan any of the shit they bring on board. the android from the very beginning stole a jar of that black goop and decided to infect Shaw's boyfriend after someone tells him on the comm to "try harder". He tries to console the dude's epic failure to mankind but not a moment too soon before dipping his index finger into alien jizz. He pours the guy a drink weird with his index finger obviously up and you hear a distinctive *doink* of a finger dipping into the drink. The appropriate response would be, "Yo, did you just dip your finger into my drink?" but no, let's just be a drunken retard for the rest of eternity. Great, infection time, let's have sex with the girl friend.

And all else falls into place aliens are born you see an unnecessary C-section to get an alien out and no one gave two shits about a half naked woman covered in blood with her mid section full of staples. Honestly, no one, Shaw walked into a room with the funder of the mission (which is an old dude looking for the creators to prolong his life) of the mission and someone else we haven't seen yet. But no one thought to point out that this chick was covered in blood, and is half naked with fuck staples in her. :suspicious:

At the end of the day, it was the black captain that figured out that these creators wanted to fuck us up from the start AND he some how took the schematics of the cave and figured out it was an alien ship just by changing the angle it was viewed at on the holoviewer. But he dies along with the token asian and white dude thrown in for shits and giggles. No one else had a clue. University Education FTW

The flute played to work the alien ship reminded me of the Dragon Zord from Power Rangers. That is all.



I give this movie a 3/10.

[beanzzz]

Just watched the 1979 Alien to prime myself for the movie! How does it compare?

It doesn't. It borrows alot from it but it just leaves you with more questions then answers.

[StylinRed]

I just watched it. it was pretty good and great visuals but i felt the story lacking and even cheesy sometimes but i still enjoyed it

6/10



Wait what? They developed super bio-weapons (the Aliens we know today) just to kill us when we didn't even have internet yet? Jesus, talk about angry people.

Uh ok. Seems reasonable. It's incredibly vague how far back these creators go to decidedly create us.


well it would seem that they developed several worlds with humans, when the android was getting his look at the computers there seemed to be several solar systems that got pinpointed but he looked specifically at earth

and so who knows at what stages those are planets were at in terms of science/evolution etc

So a rag tag group of scientists get woken up by some creepy-ass android after a long journey to another planet and the bright idea of the gung-ho scientist (Elizabeth Shaw) wanted to go explore without any weapons for protection that someone "suggested" taking along; more like already holding it in his hands with a power trip. Dude, if I go to another planet I'd be rocking AK47s or whatever the hell I could get my hands on just in case.

that did feel a bit cheesy how it was handled but remember that Shaw and her BF are the "bosses" of this expedition and if she wants no weapons then no weapons

Let's compare this to something like let's say...... StarTrek. The most pacifist franchise in science fiction that has to do with exploration. Even THEY bring phasers and shit to mess shit up if things go south. Why would this stupid scientist not protect herself. And why would the bad ass geologist that already had the gun in his hand get convinced so easily not to bring a fucking flame thrower with him for protection. I guess they didn't want to stereotype men and their fascination with firearms or weapons.

the Star Treks we've seen have had many many years of exploration in their pockets so its expected they would have phasers + they had the vulcans that pretty much gave them the 411 before they went out exploring so they would naturally be more prepared

Ok, fine, fuck the weapons and risk getting fucked up by shit they find on the planet. Let's find some cave with breathable air. Oh let's then suggest that we take off our helmets and disregard anything about potential airborne viruses and what not.
their systems detected nothing viral/infectious etc in the air so that was good enough for that guy... I expected at least one or two other members of the crew would have left their helmets on but whatever

Oh, they tripped off some hologram showing them large humanoids (at least twice the size of humans) running away from something. Obviously there's something messed with the situation but they decide to move on. Good move.

its been at least 2 millennia since those aliens died and there looks to be nothing around since they arrived.. i'd feel safe but obviously those 2 other scientists didn't and decided to go back to the ship where its safe so at least they showed another perspective there

Mapping out the entire cavern was actually a good idea that the geologist comes up with but he pussied out and grabbed his buddy and booked it out of the cave. Smart, logical idea. Somehow even though they leave first, they never make it back :seriously:
I agree that was weak

So after a long drawn out trip back to the ship, the ship is now a festering petri dish. No one thought that they should decontaminate themselves or scan any of the shit they bring on board.

they did decontaminate at least the ships computer or something mentioned decontamination commencing (something along those lines)

the android from the very beginning stole a jar of that black goop and decided to infect Shaw's boyfriend after someone tells him on the comm to "try harder". He tries to console the dude's epic failure to mankind but not a moment too soon before dipping his index finger into alien jizz. He pours the guy a drink weird with his index finger obviously up and you hear a distinctive *doink* of a finger dipping into the drink. The appropriate response would be, "Yo, did you just dip your finger into my drink?" but no, let's just be a drunken retard for the rest of eternity. Great, infection time, let's have sex with the girl friend.

that sound was for the audience i think in case some people were too slow to see it ;)

And all else falls into place aliens are born you see an unnecessary C-section to get an alien out and no one gave two shits about a half naked woman covered in blood with her mid section full of staples. Honestly, no one, Shaw walked into a room with the funder of the mission (which is an old dude looking for the creators to prolong his life) of the mission and someone else we haven't seen yet. But no one thought to point out that this chick was covered in blood, and is half naked with fuck staples in her. :suspicious:

It was odd how charlize theron was missing in these scenes and that they didn't explain what happened to the 2 ppl that Shaw conked on the heads

however Weyland has more pressing concerns and David must have informed him that she was wanting to abort but i agree it was handled weakly

At the end of the day, it was the black captain that figured out that these creators wanted to fuck us up from the start AND he some how took the schematics of the cave and figured out it was an alien ship just by changing the angle it was viewed at on the holoviewer. But he dies along with the token asian and white dude thrown in for shits and giggles. No one else had a clue. University Education FTW

what does he being black have to do with anything? anyhow the captain actually did more than alter the angle of the mapping he removed the outer layers from the hologram based on his suspicions after what shaw was describing to him

and yeah those 2 characters seemed out of place and considering the ship was flying itself when they were in stasis you'd think they could have set it on auto pilot and ejected with charlize

The flute played to work the alien ship reminded me of the Dragon Zord from Power Rangers. That is all.



agreed there were a lot of cheesy unnecessary scenes, points to the story etc strewn throughout

[beanzzz]

Stumbled across this video which gives a decent analysis of the movie. The Vickers' theory :suspicious:

Prometheus EXPLAINED - Movie Review (SPOILERS)

Also, Ridley Scott recently mentioned that the Blu-ray will have around 30 minutes of deleted scenes. Hopefully it will explain some of the holes in the story.

http://collider.com/ridley-scott-prometheus-deleted-scenes-interview/172202/

[StylinRed]

Oh yeah and im not sure if you guys have been to this website

Weyland Industries (http://www.weylandindustries.com/)

it was shown at the end of the credits along with a weyland logo saying the footage is owned by them ;)

anyway there's some good viral videos on it

[LiquidTurbo]

So, is Vickers a robot or not do you think?

[murd0c]

So, is Vickers a robot or not do you think?

I think she is and I think should could still be alive as well

[TOS'd]

EDIT: Watching video now then. Ugh, 20 mins...

[murd0c]

^ watch the 20min video that might explain things then look at what we posted.

[beanzzz]

I think she is and I think should could still be alive as well

Still not convinced that she is but I'm sure she survived. Every characters death had some importance in moving the movie forward or introducing us to the effects of the black goo.

Charlie Holloway - First human infected/knocked up Elizabeth Shaw.
Fifield - Showed us that the goo gives humans super human abilities but also drives us mad.
Millburn - Showed us that the goo enhances the worms abilities.
Janek, Chance and Ravel - Stopped the engineer's ship.
Ford - Sorry, don't remember what happened to her.
Engineer - First Xenomorph busts out of his stomach.

If Meredith Vickers wasn't played by Charlize Theron and had a smaller part in the movie I could see her getting killed off by falling debris, but she stood out almost more then Elizabeth Shaw.

In other news, Charlize Theron shaved her head for Mad Max: Fury Road

[yogenfruz]

^ Proof that Charlize Theron looks hot all the time. (Except in Monster.)

[Destephicon]

From what I hear, It's a prequel and a reboot to the alien franchise.

[stuff99]

This movie was great. 3/10? That's a bit harsh.

[LiquidTurbo]

Some people can't appreciate great movies. A lot of people felt the same way about Alien back in 1979. Now Alien is recognized as a classic and iconic.

I must say, Fassbender MAKES this movie. The guy he infected and female protag just weren't anywhere on the same of class.

[StylinRed]

well the guy he infected was never a real actor (that is never seemed to prove he had the chops) think he was on the OC in a bit part

only movie i can recall him doing is Devil

don't know why he got casted /shrug


Fassbender $$

[ziggyx]

^ might be a bit off topic but Fassbender was a pretty good magneto as well

[beanzzz]

Agreed, even though Noomi Rapace was the lead in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Charlize Theron totally out shined her. When Meredith Vickers was holding the Flamethrower and telling the team not to open the door she reminded me of Ripley, total BADASS!

I thought it was very good and the CGI was excellent for a movie that is mainly filmed in front of a green screen.

I read that only 6 scenes were filmed in front of green screen. Ridley Scott apparently hates the performances actors give in front of green screens, so he prefers to use real locations or built sets with as much realism as possible.

I was also surprised that a lot more things in this movie are real rather than CGI. Eg: Engineers were entirely real, done with tall actors, rubber muscle suits, and make up.

[Tim Budong]

Fassbender $$

yes i only remember him as Ryan Atwood's brother in the OC
HAHA

[kwy]

A movie that might actually be worth watching in 3D. The landscape shots in the opening sequence were all epic wallpaper material.

[LiquidTurbo]

If only the movie that this kind of wit:

Prometheus Viral Clip # 3 (David the Android) - YouTube

[LiquidTurbo]

And a young peter weyland:

Prometheus Viral Clip # 1 TED TALK 2023 - YouTube

[Valour]

I think clearly Vickers is a human. The scene where she invites the captain for sex. She also says y would she fly a billion miles away from men if she wants to get laid. She calls the old man father, and also when she jumps out the safety hatch she needs to put on a suit. Also when she comes out she needs to do pushups to activate the muscle atrophy.

argument re her fight with David - he didnt need to resist cuz he wasnt in any real danger/no real hostility

re male configured medical pod - the pod is meant for the old man

she drinks vodka, shows fear and self preservation (flamethrower to protect quarantine vs the mutant Dr., space suit)

David shows awareness that he is an android and corrects people when they assume otherwise. he doesn't need to drink champagne cuz it doesn't affect him

If she was a robot, I'd buy ten of her and fuck tha shit outta her. Actually, everyone would and the Weyland corp would be so fucking rich they would never have to explore space and mine other planets. You would die happy and die fucking and not give a shit if you get old...end story
