    The real problem is that there's no better genre than sci-fi when it comes to passing off halfassed unfinished ideas as "mysterious plot elements".

     

    One thing about Prometheus, though; almost all of the shit that drives people crazy about it could be rectified with an excellent sequel script. Except for why that guy thought it'd be a good idea to pet the goo snake.

    I didn't complain about Yo Is This Racist's take approach to this movie because I would expect them to focus on the controversial makeup. Which is why I'd like hdgtm to tackle the plot(s) and acting. And makeup.

     

    And yeah who'd have thought The Media Action Network for Asian Americans would focus on the white-into-asian thing?

    Yo Is This Racist did a week talking about the makeup but that's all they focused on. When I first heard about this movie I got really excited, then when I discovered it was being done by the Wachowskis I became skeptical (I do not like anything about The Matrix films), and after I watched it I didn't know what to say. I did enjoy the NeoSeoul piece and the movie looks great, but wow.

    I wouldn't call this a bad movie at all, and it still holds up pretty damed good 25 years later. It's pretty good for what it is. Sure, I wouldn't cast Roddy Piper in "There Will Be Blood" or anything, but he was better in this movie than any other former WWF wrestler has ever been in anything else. I'm surprised Hollywood hasn't rebooted it yet to be honest.

     

    By the way the South Park guys did the fight scene shot for shot here.

    Yeah I've read the Jesus elements and that Scott originally planned to make that much clearer in the film before deciding not to.

     

    All of which makes me wonder even more why the engineers would leave us space directions to their public storage unit. So that when we were technologically capable of traveling there, that we would find the black goo and seed our own worlds as they did?

     

    But if that's the case why was there a big mosaic of the Xenomorph in the goo room? In the crucifix pose, no less.

     

    Is the goo some form of judgment that sympathetically reacts one way or another due to the spiritual intent of the being that interacts with it?

     

    This movie makes me think in circles.

    Anyone want to talk about their hopes for the sequel? Personally I hope it follows Shaw and David's head to the Engineer homeworld and that is the bulk of the film. If someone finds David's head somewhere years later and we only get to hear about what happened, never get a glimpse of where these guys came from, I'll be very sad.

    If you left two eps after Gerry died, I'll tell you they're still knocking around in that big base of the Collectors. They found a weird star map, a water guy in a glass box and some armor and weapons. They have gotten a lot better and faster at fighting. You'd miss out on all of the funny banter if you skipped over the last 10, but those are the plot Cliffs Notes.

    How did 5002 people get into a room with no entrances? Because if it's in a future where teleportation technology exists, those children could theoretically all be cloned from the genetic material of Bruce Lee or Roddy Piper and programmed to kill like baby Kurt Russell in "Soldier". And does suffocation/carbon monoxide come into play at some point? And why are they fighting anyway? The two adults should be comforting the children ala Jerry Lewis in The Day The Clown Cried.

    To be fair Jarry we're talking about a prequel to one of the most popular sci-fi films ever from one of the greatest directors of our lifetime that was highly anticipated for over 30 years. I don't know if it was possible for Alien/Ridley Scott fans to not go in there expecting the world, especially after seeing the big mysterious dentist patient in the trailer.

     

    All that being said, at least it wasn't The Phantom Menace.

    I feel your pain Shannon. Maybe, like myself, you expected to find out some answers after watching the superhyped prequel to arguably the best sci-fi movie ever? Well, that's just crazytalk. In the sequel they probably end up at the diner from Spaceballs.
