Prometheus is literally just 4 gross-out scenes connected loosely by a plot that happens to involves characters mentioned in movies the Alien franchise

And cuz I'm sure some goon will be like "actually there's only 2.5 gross scenes"

1. Opening scene, engineer getting plagued to death

2. Fifield getting hosed up

3. Foreigner lady cutting the facehugger out of her

4. Fifield's mutated body attacking

OK it get's some mixed review's but it's a classic scifi movie and the consensus here seems to be the A:C is going to be even better

Actually this movie was ridley's idea, he just gave up on it when the production company decided that aliens vs predator was a good idea because he thought it would ruin the integrity of the franchise

So think about that. This dude finished up alien4 and was cool with that pile of garbage, and alien3 was no problemo. But AVP? No sir, that's a bridge too far, I will not work with these charlatans!

Oh, wait, more money, you say? Well... okay

I just tried to rewatch prometheus last week and made it 25 minutes in. And I'm the kind of guy that watched alien3 and 4 and told my friends "well, yeah, it's awful, but I mean it could be worse, and it is an Alien movie..."

Imo both the lovely ones are watchable as long as you have the right expectations going in. Prometheus... not so much

I like how the re-using the plot of the first movie.

Find the Engineer ship and then someone gets attacked by a facehugger.

Prometheus was a good film. It was genuinely creepy and unsettling, did some visually cool stuff, had some good performances and was brave and smart enough to leave things unanswered and go for existential dread rather than throwing a bunch of new xenomorphs on the screen. The film gets a lot of unfair hate.

David is definitely the most compelling character, though it isn't saying much. They actually attempted to make him a real character, at least
