Prometheus 2Director Ridley Scott offers these hints for the sequel, which certainly ties in with the movie's suggestion that Shaw and David are headed to the Engineers' home planet: I hadn't done sci-fi for so long and I enjoyed doing it. Plus, when it comes to the Alien world, no one else had addressed the origin question and I thought that was interesting to tackle. Prometheus evolved into a whole other universe. You've got a person [Noomi Rapace's Elizabeth Shaw] with a head in a bag [ Michael Fassbender's David] that functions and has an IQ of 350. It can explain to her how to put the head back on the body and she's gonna think about that long and hard because, once the head is back on his body, he's dangerous. <strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; ">So that's the sequel?[/span] [Laughs] I wish it was that easy. They're going off to paradise but it could be the most savage, horrible place. Who are the Engineers? |

They tried to do way too much with Prometheus. It could have stood on it's on in several ways and really didn't didn't need to interweave everything into a steaming pile of confusing, ambiguous crap. ...maybe because they couldn't figure out what the hell direction they wanted to go. If they get it together, there is still a lot of potential, but they really need to pick and direction and start producing some films. |

What would be a good sci gi flick now? The stuff from the 70s and 80s is mostly science fact now... Well, I've been waiting for a film adaptation of The Forever War for like...forever. 
Maybe Ridley could get around to making a Blade Runner sequel? Michael Assblender has his role down pat already! |

They flew to a distant moon that they had no information about. They randomly picked a spot to land, found some sort of base, discovered some inhabitants that were dead. Upon discovering this, they made the leap that, in fact, they were ALL dead. Everywhere. The movie continues under this assumption. Couldn't there have been another, thriving base 1275 miles away? This bugged me from the get go. Also, the general nonchalance of the captain and crew made no sense to me. Great effects, lousy story. |

Easily one of the most disappointing, "this should have been good, but it was a steaming pile of crap instead" movies ever. A horrifying waste of collateral totally unbecoming a supposed genius. |

Quoted: Quoted: I kind of wondered if that movie was going to result in a sequal. It should, however, be called something else besides Prometheus 2 Prometheuses? Prometheusii, like octopi, but with two capital I's to signify two. Or just pretend it never happened and reboot it. |

Yeah, it was bad. I don't know what's worse the "science" expert going "OMG there's an artificial atmosphere! Lets take off our helmets! Fuck the safety protocols.", the geologist/navigator getting lost with the other guy because they can't just retrace their steps, the "HO HO HO its Christmas, wanna get laid?" captain guy, or Weyland's security detail that must have loaded their shotguns with futuristic birdshot

He put a massive hole in him with the shot he got off. Then the bitch gets between them and he's yelling at her to gtfo of the way and then the engineer creams them both. But yeah he should have headshot the engineer. If he'd have done that though the movie would have been over at that point.

this movie had the worst characters ever, they've all been done before over and over
stupid wide eyed scientist pussy ass husband/boyfriend Guy that doesn't want to be friends and is a dick to everyone for no fucking reason The dorky guy who tries to befriend said asshole pissy little cunt woman who wants to be boss a bunch of random red shirts evil old corporate dude the same captain of the ship from every movie ever robot that goes bonkers blah blah blah How a guy can make a movie like alien with good characters and awesome atmosphere with gripping tension and then turn around and make this parody of a sci fi movie astounds me, the movie had a shit plot and it was about as tense as an ice cream social |

They could have the newly formed Colonial Marines show up to clean out the alien ship and call it Horseshoes and Hand Grenades . . . . shortest movie ever... Sir, the MOANM (mother of all nuclear missles) barrage will be arriving in 3...2...1... impact. Site is clean. Very good. Tell the cleanup crews to get in their suits and go look for anything recoverable. (roll credits, with a montage of people in space/rad suits going through wreckage) |

So many questions, not enough movie.
What happened to the guy who got deep throat-ed by the vagina snake? Shouldn't something have popped out his chest? The scene with mutant-boy coming back to life and wrecking the place was completely pointless. In fact, the whole octo-baby thing pointless. Thoroughly disappointing. |

Quoted: Quoted: Jesus Christ, they might as well just fly to the Ringworld in the 2nd one and pay Larry Niven for all the shit they ripped off of him in Prometheus already  Speed +1 Lol, I posted this in another Prometheus thread: A group of not very good scientists and crewman are taken to an alien planet in a state of stasis, and under false pretenses, by a wealthy being who has an "autodoc". When they get there, they find out that it was built by a race of aliens referred to as the "engineers": The entities responsible for the colonization of all hominid life on habitable planets. The engineers have beak like protrusions, stand 10 feet tall, and are warriors... To read more, go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringworld Speed |
