It was okay. It kind of ruined the whole Space Jockey thing for me.

No it doesn't, you're the stupid one

It's absolute kino, and I fucking hate the Ridley caved into braindead alien (((fans))). Paradise Lost was going to be a great extension of the first film, but instead we get something completely neutered to appease people who can't be appeased. Every single second the movie refers to the ideas of the first (Shaw, the Engineers, the civilization of the 'people' that look like the Engineers, etc), I get excited. But then it comes back to the story of these people randomly stranded on this island. 'Disappointed' doesn't do it justice. How senile does Ridley have to be to not understand that the reason Prometheus did so well is because people thought they were getting another Alien flick? So many normies criticized the film, yet Ridley just looks at the money and then unironically goes 'hurr Prometheus was good but people wanna see more of this guy [Alien]'. Then he gives it to them and surprise surprise, no one fucking cares.

Whatever, at least I'll always have to first. Rewatched the fucking thing like 10 times, I don't know why I enjoy it so much but I do.

It was well directed, but it had a subpar script written by proven hacks and the theatrical version was purposefuly left more vague and confusing than it should have been in order to hype up the extended home release which was basically the video game DLC strategy applied to a fucking movie. I hope all the executives who made this decision / approved it die of cancer.

SPACE AXE BABY

its not up to me

i only watched it an hour ago, for the first time. i was kind of waiting for the space axe the entire time. when it showed up, i realised the image was already permanently imprinted on my brain because of constant posts of it here back when the movie came out.

honestly the shot of the chair from alien really got me, but its all i would have wanted for references.

It was a bad HP lovecraft movie.

starts good devolves into shitfest
still has some extremely memorable scenes, probably some of the most memorable to come out of big budget hollywood this decade like the ceaserian and the meeting with the engineer
was eager to see the sequel but they just killed the main protag and made another generic alien movie for whatever godforsaken reason. either way it's pretty obvious the film contains a lot of scotts inner thoughts as he's nearing his expiration date

Maybe it belonged to a space fireman

fuckin reverend X would do a better job than that senile hack

utter shit

they couldn't even get a straight axe

maybe david? or his legacy he leaves behind and the power he has over the company with his research. there was some bonus stuff on the covenant film that had him sending a threat to WY to not fuck with him so he could keep doing space/goo science

if you hadn't noticed, aliens 3 and 4 already existed before. prometheus is better than those two flicks at least.

You're not gonna cut anything in space or what?

Prometheus 2 was horrible. Prometheus 1 was pretty good. You have to go into it with a desire to look at it as if the aliens created mankind. Otherwise you will find it completely idiotic to view. It´s more like a religious movie than a sci fi movie. Massive religious over and undertones to everything in it.
This is why i think prometheus 2 was so bad. But then again prometheus 2 is very hard to make without somehow digging yourself a hole you can´t get out of by trying to explain too much about the engineers.

>its time to admit that it had the dumbest scientists ever
Yes. And shaw saying no weapons this is a scientific expedition.
ANY scientific expedition on a foreign possibly hostile planet should be accompanied with soldiers with TONS of fucking weapons to protect them..
Not like our biosphere is kind either if you just decide to randomly walk around in jungle in a fucking hazmat suit.

That pic.. it´s like he never saw a snake before. If some alien organism was doing that. I'd fucking run, not pet it! Prod it with some kind of metallic probe from a safe distance..

So like the whole franchise?

it was retarded, but its not like it would make a difference. for some reason there was that stupid fucking zombie event.

Just like Kingdom of Heaven.
If you can't tell the story you are trying to portray within the 150 minute theatrical release you are making films wrong.

God it was so dumb. Had some cool set designs and art direction everything else was just shit.

It WOULD have been a classic if that no-talent hack Lindeloff had never gotten his hands on the script.

An axe is one of the most basic tools along with the hammer. Always useful to have one in emergency situations when electrical equipment fails.

why would they program robots to be such fucking assholes?

>It's an axe, a good old axe, but it's also the future, so it's curved now

This fucking axe perfectly summarizes this stupid piece of garbage movie

Didn't they get lost even though they showed that guy having a map?

Yes. The movie is fucking retarded

I don't remember much about it except that it had gorgeous looking scenes in the caves and shit but from what I remember it was at least better then Alien 3 and Resurrection and possibly better than any AvP movie but then again, I don't remember much about those either

I hate them and I am not sure.
Maybe visually.
@OP: Kill yourself.

He didn't have a map, he had robots that uploaded a topographical map to the ship, the storm cut comms so the crew couldn't guide them, and regardless they couldn't leave because the storm would have killed them. This concept was too complex for some of the audience to grasp ().

I did not want an alien flick. I did not even care to have a decent continuity.
I cared about a good movie. The movie has just good visuals.
Characters are good in concept but horribly executed.
Themes are excellent in context but horribly executed.
This is, very simply,because the writers are not smart or cultured enough to write something that is above capeshit level. Is really that simple.

i like the very first alien movie, but the same kinda shit happens in that one. if you went onto an alien ship and walked into a room with eggs, would you stand directly over one if it opened? if an alien is loose on your spaceship, would you go looking for your cat by yourself?

>one of two of their star doctors was just completely useless.

another thing, idris elbows accent was awful.

you already @'d me with that quote, discordfag. its retarded to claim the alien franchise wasn't shit already.

No. It's still a terrible film that:
>completely fails to solve its own mystery
>has a detective that automatically solves everything or destroys everything using zero logic or evidence for any of his actions
>features nameless characters who only exist to be killed off randomly to fulfill a gore quota
>has an arbitrary action scene every 20 minutes because the producers said so
>the space cobra scene featuring space Crocodile Hunter
>completely pointless plot twist that Weiland is still alive because surprising the audience is more important than telling a cohesive story
axes are used to hack through walls to save people in the event of a fire

>discordfag.
It's not going to work buddy.
Stop spamming this stupidity. The movie had potential, good concepts and visuals, but is an utter failure.
Is true that Scott caved in with the second, because the usual suits did not get that people did not want "another alien" but a consistent movie.
Now kill yourself you fucking child.

>>completely pointless plot twist that Weiland is still alive because surprising the audience is more important than telling a cohesive story
This is what happens when you have tv writers on board.
See SW, etc etc

twatter then, whatever. take your @ and nonsensical point and shove it up your ass keyboard warrior.

Pretty sure he gets lost before the storm since he gets stuck on the ship during the storm.

She also got alien goop inside her fucking wound, then sealed it up. Was a cool scene though.

This. Alien was at it's core, a space slasher, and like any good slasher, it has tons of "DON'T GO IN THERE YOU FUCKING IDIOT!" moments. What made alien famous wasn't the realism of how it unfolded, but the insanity of just how far-out the basic premise was, coupled with the absolutely god-tier production design.

Given its similarities to the original, Prometheus is far more like Alien than any of the other Alien movies, and while the premise is a little less cool than Alien, and while the production design is a little less incredible than Alien, at it's core, it's still a space slasher in which you get to watch a bunch of dumbfucks in space suits get offed one by one by nightmarish space creatures like teenage girls in a Scream movie, against a cool-looking sci-fi lovecraftian horror backdrop. For that, and that alone, Prometheus is the best Alien sequel ever made.

People aren't that stupid in the original, they act in a believable manner for their situation

That alien grew up fast.

>it was a good movie
The production design was good. The lighting was good. Some of the acting was good.
Everything else was crap.

This, Parker was right about everything.

no
This is what you brain damaged idiots cannot grasp.

Did you watch the first movie? If you did, you are incredibly stupid.

they acted like a crew who was unsure about the bonus situation. can we talk about that?
i think having a small crew like that helps. in prometheus they even had redshirts.

Like a lot of things about Prometheus, I like the engineer concept independently but trying to retcon it into Alien lore where it didn't really fit was a mistake.

I can kinda picture them wearing togas and doing a sort of greek god thing like in the opening scene, but I really don't see them doing the biomechanical creepy-looking ship thing. It feels like their tech should have been a lot more sterile and clean, not a dank cave filled with goop.

No.
They are both an "at the mountain of madness story".
But the characters in the first movie are well written, albeit the second movie is closer to such theme.
But prometheus sucks. The potential was there, but Lindelof gotta Lindelof.

Are you me? I have exact same thoughts.
Prometheus is an absolute kino and the best sci-fi film of the last decade (I prefer FanEdit over theatrical cut though).
I would've loved further exploration of engineers and origin of life, but instead we got this mediocre Alien film shoehorned into Prometheus timeline, with David as a main villain. What a shame. Covenant fucking sucked, I give it 4/10.

Is there anything hotter than having an alien octopus monster in your womb? Jesus fuck

Would you be afraid of a snake while you're in a futuristic hazard-proof spacesuit? He did not know he was in a Alien movie, and he had no reason to be cautious.

Conceptually amazing and visually stunning but the execution of the actual story is full of really dumb and cliche action/horror flick tropes. It feels like he put loads of effort into the aesthetic but just phoned it in when it came to the script.

>You have to go into it with a desire to look at it as if the aliens created mankind.
That's exactly what the movie fucking shows us in the first fucking scene of the movie.

>Are you me?
Probably yes, yeah

i'm confused as to why they even made covenant. it was obvious what was going to happen with david anyway. feels like a completely unnecessary cash grab and filler, but why bother? especially after the possibility of new stuff after prometheus set it up.

Its a rare movie where the sequel made the original worse.

>Would you be afraid of a snake while you're in a futuristic hazard-proof spacesuit?
Yes, the space suit clearly wasn't alien snake proof.

imagine the smell

I have enjoyed David and unironically liked the engineers

>he didn't anticipate that never met before life form would have super-strength
What an idiot ikr

>Then he gives it to them and surprise surprise, no one fucking cares.
People wanted a good alien film, not trash like Covenant.

>Let me just piss off this obviously agitated alien organism when I have no idea what it is capable of
Clearly an idiot as he died moments later.

>That's exactly what the movie fucking shows us in the first fucking scene of the movie.
Really user. Yes i know. Yet at the same time when the movie came out. Lots of people were going..
>what the fuck is this movie about i don´t get it.
The entire movie is about the suggestion that alien species made mankind. So if you are not constantly accepting that premise. The movie is idiotic to watch. That´s what i meant.
Every dialogue and thing in the movie is about that. The question the movie asks is how and why.

It seems like normal suits just to keep the temperature / oxygen level normal, not to protect against attacks. Even earth based creatures should be able to bite trough it and when you encounter alien lifeforms and you have no fucking clue what their abilities are then you stay the hell away from them.
Its as dumb as diving and touching every fish you see. Maybe you get lucky and finger a clownfish, maybe you get killed by some poisonous sting.

No.

>characters we're clearly supposed to identify with often get most, if not all development moments before death. Like the black pilot and his buddies. We get a moment with the guy earlier on, then his big character moment as he crashes and dies. That's it.
>for that matter, there's too many characters in the film. Not a sin in and of itself, but in a cast this large, introducing characters in previous movies helps a lot. You end up getting away with spending mere moments on characters who are already developed and known to the audience. Prometheus just throws characters at you and kills them off quickly, offering no real development or attachment.
>this one's a nitpick, but Prometheus openly goes against the events of the other Alien movies, placing itself in a fantasy, fanfic universe. Sadly, a fanfic written by the series' creator...

It looks nice, has some good shots, is cast well and the special effects are decent. But it's NOT a good movie.

>what the fuck is this movie about i don´t get it.
I believe that was in reference to the plot going nowhere. Everyone can see the obvious religious themes, that's all characters talk about in many scenes, it's that the overall script is a mess.

>he had no reason to be cautious.
Why would expert space scientists not observe absolutely rigorous health and safety protocols when encountering alien fauna they know nothing about? This is just turn off your brain trash right here.

Given it the future, it could've been some super strong material we don't know about. Ofc it's never mentioned in the film, but that could've given him a false sense of security. Plus having the first contact ever with another life form is the most significant discovery of all times, so he got excited.
In any case this scene didn't bother me in the slightest, but it's always the first thing being brought up when shitting on this movie.

Both posts reference characters and events from prometheus, and are specific to just that movie. It's ok to like the movie, but to say it has no flaws is just retarded. Other movies don't have these problems. Prometheus does.

To be fair they were wearing protective equipment and probably didn’t expect the snakes to have the strongest acidic venom in the universe

Alien 3 was fine

Yeah but the film makers didn't bother to indicate in the slightest any time was skipped.
They initially wrote a scene where the alien raids the kitchen stores in it's intermediate form (1.5) but they never made the scene due to movie length.

George fucked the prequels up because he had too much cash, ass lickers, money sharks and too many commercial constrains.
If he did the phantom menace trilogy first, i guarantee you New hope would have been a fucking mess.

It took the At The Mountains of Madness story and used it as the basis for, you guessed it, a slasher movie, right down to the "plucky heroine manages to kill the slasher and escape the spaceship/summer camp on her own" trope. The only twist is in the lovecraftian setup and origin of the slashing monster. Otherwise, once the chestburster scene happens, the alien might as well be Michael Myers or Jason.

But that's not my problem. People explained with points and observation why the movie is a disappointed wasted potential with nice visuals.

I don't understand why people are so perplexed by the axe. firemen use them to chop open walls all the time for ventilation reasons.

I mean if you positivity needed to chop would for something what would you use? Besides it reminds me of a stupid news story: "Crew of researchers freeze to death because no axe to chop wood"

I don't care it's supposed to ignore. It was based on Alien movies, half of which are goofy shit, and even Aliens would be considered garbage by todays standards

Now you just lost any chance to be taken seriously.
Prometheus did not try to go in that direction. Is actually a pseud drivel in the guise of cosmic horror story - too bad the writers are idiots.

No. It wasn't

Why is the axe so weird looking?

this

it was the studio that demanded the rewrites. blame them.

It did but it wasnt really a followup or real sequel. It's like a whole was skipped in between the two. We learn nothing of the engineers or their homeworld, Shaw is long dead and experimented on, and David somehow creates full blown Xenomorphs because Ridley is a senile coot who thinks hats all people wanted despite Xenos clearly already existing in Prometheus

Lindetard IS the rewriter.

A bladed instrument, more specifically an axe, is almost always useful. One of the best tools to have in an emergency. This argument is dumb.

This. We needed a sequel that focused on the goo and the engineers.

>Im being a faggot and nobody can stop me!

No, that was Disney. George only improved it.

They thought the alien was a tiny fucking lizard when he went looking for the cat. The first argument is solid but that's one person being an idiot not the entire crew.

It sure as shit ruined the Lovecraftian sense of the horrible and unknown by explaining everything. It was like being a little kid and having an awesome magic trick explained to you. It sucks all the mystery out of it, and therefore the fun.

>aliens look like humans
>aliens hate humans because they killed Jesus
It was terrible

The prequels were objectively bad
But they still felt like Star Wars, somehow
The sequels are completely fucking soulless

Yes. And even the SJW hags who ADORE GoT now despise the shit show it turned into. Meaning that everyone but apparrently you is able to see flaws and change their vote on something. Or see flaws at all, for that matter.

Prometheus isn't totally unenjoyable, but it's still a bad movie. It's in similar territory to the original Evil Dead: it has many flaws, but it's fun in it's oddball ways and is well shot.
Other than that, it's got nothing.
The plot is asinine, every character is retarded (even the inteligent ones), it plays at being a higher concept, but watches like an 80's slasher movie, I can go on.

And this is comming from a guy who considders Prometheus and Covenant to be guilty pleasures. Also, the poster ofBut I, unlike you, am able to recognise when something I like is actually bad.

Hell, Covenant is asses, but I enjoyed it a lot more than Prometheus. Except for people saying "my wife" every few minutes, and more totally retarded scientists doing things a child would be smart enough not to do on uncharted, potentially dangerous alien worlds.

Just admit to yourself that you enjoy it in spite of it's massive flaws, and move on. There's nothing wrong with having guilty pleasures.

You forgot the great soundtrack

i liked that two different people slipped on the same massive smear of blood within minutes of each other - hilariously horrific

It's an alien and evolved on a different world. The last time you should have been mystified by anything was in Aliens.

It's almost as if humans have had a need for basic tools for thousands of years...

What a fug.

Who hired these retards?

The only alien movies are Alien and Prometheus. All of the others don't come close.

I'm just going to say that charlize therons death wasnt that stupid. At least, its low on the list of occurred stupidities. Turning to the left would have decreased her speed forward and she might have gotten squished anyway. Turning straight left would have guaranteed her squishening. A trivial point in a movie with many greater errors

The arbitrary nature of minor offenses cause disaster while big offenses did nothing. All of this though pales in the light of the giant self-fulfilling paradox on which the entire plot is built and which the characters involved don't even question. Everything could have been averted with a couple of questions before anything really got started. Most of the plot is driven by the stupidity of spacefarers whom were supposedly hand-picked to be cautious, intelligent, prudent and predictive; none of the characters showed any light of cleverness or brilliance.

>a lot of people like
>Prometheus
kek, this pleb cope

Prometheus is such a good pleb filter. The movie was so good it didn't need any plot, people who complain about plot are the ultimate brainlets.

why is the axe bent like that?

>>how else am I going to chop down space trees?
Why would anyone stranded on an unknown planet for years at a time ever require material such as wood?

If the Derelict from Alien turns out to have been sitting there lying in wait for ten years instead of an ancient evil then I'm going to be fucking pissed

good taste.

I don't know why everyone bitched about helmets, it was the least of the problems

Didn't people hate the axe too?

Beautifully produced and shot, but bad characters and story.

kek
