Why I think Prometheus will suck

1)The PG factor. I think the trailer pretty much confirms that this movie will be a PG. The design is clean and bland, and it looks like there is little room for gore. 2)The ‘Ancient Hieroglyphics’. This idea has been done to death, and the whole thing reminds me of Aliens vs. Predator. It stinks of it. Obviously Ridley seems to think he is onto something here..but this idea is one of the most repeated in Hollywood. Boring. 3)The Clean CGI look...if there is one thing that kills all horror and suspense, it is CGI...examples include 'I am Legend', where a latex mask would have been far scarier than shitty Playstation zombies...I slept fine that night, but wet the bed after seeing 'Alien'. 4)Ridley is Old! He should have been out of the game years ago, but he can't stay home because he hates his wife...

Let's not be too hasty folks. Ridley has stated that he prefers to use practical effects wherever possible so I doubt the film will be a CGI fest. Also we may be seeing partial incomplete CGI so the finished product may look better. I personally have no ussue with the CGI the trailer. @ jeystone: I appreciate your thoughts but i think its a little unfair to say Ridley is too old to be directing the film. I for one could not think of anyone better to do it. If he chose anyone younger then it would certainly would become a CGI fest.

The "clean" look is an attempt by scott to do something different and I think is in line with his love of european sci-fi comic book art...It is also a necessity for 3D ..It will all make sense when the glasses go on.. I'm not worried by about the certificate because sooner or later you will get the unrated cut... This movie is a practical movie...In camera effects...Models...Huge sets.... CGI is minimum in this film... The composite process is so good these days people don't know what they're looking at..

Jeystone. I know you want this to be a R rated movie, and you're let down like most of us as this is your second post concerning the rating of the film and you're just venting, but try and remember not to vent on the other members of the forum, Ridley or the movie itself. Fox is the one making the decision, and I don't think you would be upsetting anybody here complaining about them directly.

Whilst an honour from the queen doesn't instil any kind of respect from me (I'm from Wales, and not a royalist) knocking our Ridley is indeed below the waist. However, I have to say I am not a fan of CGI. CGI movement STILL doesn't look realistic to me.

Well, not everyone watches PROMETHEUS because they expect a gore orgy like many zombie movies etc. The only gore scene in ALIEN was the chest bursting. Any other kills by the Alien were shot so fast that you barely could see the splatter when the Alien bites Brett and Parker. I'm rather more concerned that they leaked so much in the current trailer. Hope the best things are yet to be seen in the movie. I'm really wondering what the Space Jockey does with Shaw as she is on the floor and he is approaching her. Also, what does the ALIEN mural mean? That the Space Jockeys already created them before the Prometheus crew landed?

Trailers can be deceitful in both ways. I remember swearing never go to see "Robocop" after seeing the trailer _ but this was because I didn´t get the irony of the movie. I only went to see it after word of mouth from friends. Conceivably most directors would want their trailers to be deceitful in the other direction: convincing most people that the movie is good, when actually it isn´t. From what I see, Scott and Fox´s suits would have to sweat a lot to wretch this project. At least I can´t remember of being deceived in a big way from trailers lately. To me the bigger enigma is the rating. Of course there are a lot of perfectly enjoyable PG-13 movies. I can´t remember none of them approaching the level where one can confidently say, "this is entertainment but also art". I think "Alien" and "Blade Runner" are as close as you can be to this level. Let´s see if "Prometheus" reaches this heights.

Bring on the new blood, ridley could never make a stunning film like sucker punch, or transformers. Lets face it the guys a novice, a complete waste of space, and experience of a lifetime counts for shit. Yeah this film will be a disaster full of Clichés and bad acting and loaded with appalling cgi . zack snyder i love you.

Ok forgive the sarcasm but really i would never go anywhere near a site or forum for a film ( and lets face it there are hundreds of them) that i have no interest or faith in and feel the way you do jeystone. I mean get a life you may as well be on the next jennifer aniston film site and slag that off. I just cant for the life of me imagine that you cant find something your really into to have something positive to contribute to .

I have pondered this for a while, myself. My conclusion is this. I believe it'll be a good movie. Good story. And obviously under good direction. However, I'm not to sure it will have the stark-raving fear of the 1979 Alien. That was a "perfect storm", in movie making. Every once in a while, you'll see that, and the movie becomes legendary. But who really knows...
