PETITION FOR "R"

Strong scenes of sexual nature ?? Who cares to have strong scenes of sexual nature in a sci fi horror movie ?? They will just distract from the overall plot . ( and we are talking of the director with probably LESS scenes of sexual nature in the history of filmaking ... )

I agree kinda from both points of view, but I still believe this movie independently "because of what it's a prequel to," Should Be R Rated For content that belongs in this type of movie to do the series justice as being one of the most horrifying movie experiences of all time...

I think I'll stick with others' opinions that they should release both an R and PG-13 version in theaters. I don't see why Fox wouldn't do such a thing, though I don't think movies are often released like this, possibly due to budgetary excuses or something. If they release both types, I'll go to the R-rated version, because I believe that by being rated R the movie will provide the "maximum effect", whatever it will be. A movie doesn't have to be bloody & gory to be rated R. The PG-13 version would just be something open to a larger audience, though it makes me think that they're trying to "pass something on to the new generation", kind of like what they're doing with The Expendables 2 by rating it PG-13, but that's just my opinion, and I have a rather low opinion of the next generation, but I won't go there.

A petition has already been started. I've signed both. Here's a link [url=https://www.change.org/petitions#search/prometheus%20rating]Prometheus R Rating Petitions[/url] However, it wouldn't hurt to start a new one.

"I" An R rating doesn't make a good film. No rating makes a good film. But I would like a great film with adult themes and a dark tone that could only be captured in an R-rated film. I'm not looking for a gore-fest or pornography. There's a difference between a horrific, well-filmed scene that has gore (i.e. Kane's Death in the original ALIEN), and the execution/torture scenes in Hostel. Alien is a great, complete film. Hostel seems more like an endurance test to see how much you can take before you get sick. I have no interest in seeing the type of violence in Hostel (Might as well watch Faces of Death. And no offense to those who like Hostel.) Another great R-rated (Scott) film is Black Hawk Down. BHD has intense violence that was important to the film. Imagine that movie without an R rating....just not the same. The violence didn't make it cheesy, and it wasn't there just for the sake of being there. If Prometheus is supposed to be about the horrors of extreme genetic changes and possibly violent, god-like beings...well then I would much rather prefer an R rating.
