For those of you who consider Prometheus a classic...

Lindelof gave Scott [i]exactly[/i] what [i]he[/i] wanted. Why can't some folks get that through their heads? Scott's unequivocal statement: "I'd prefer they fight about it, rather than spell things out" tells you all you need to know about where [i]he's[/i] coming from, and that's clearly a place that many of you do not enjoy. I'd respectfully suggest that anyone who feels this movie is a confusing mess, abandon all hope that subsequent installments will answer most of the questions you have, to your satisfaction.

@Svanya [i]Um, I guess I am trying to stay neutral as silly as that sounds. I have seen the coolest, most active members here turn into the most rage filled people[/i] LOL that made me laugh so hard! Yes you're right and I this was just another reaction that I had since I was so disappointed. Twice the expectations - double the disappointment. Just had to vent.

[i]The visuals weren't THAT impressive, the Matrix films had better special effects and they came out years ago. If anything, Prometheus is somewhat dated in the visuals department when compared the likes of Avatar or even The Avengers.[/i] Sorry but I find that funny. It reeks of existing to illicit a strog reaction which you wont get from me. However if it is genuine then I'm very surprised to hear you say that. In fact out of the thousands of reviews and opinions I've read that's a first. I disagree 100%.

...but if the movie is such a success at the box office then why not hire Ridley again...i don't get it?...I mean it has'nt broken any records but it is certainly doing well enough to justify a sequel....especially internationally....everyone is so focused on the USA box office...it's been no 1 in the UK for 3 weeks already and 2 weeks at the top in South Africa (i know we only a drop in the bucket...but still)... And it has'nt even been released in China and Japan....so considering that it is a R rated movie....i would say it is performing above expectations !!

@Engineering Ok so first you're whining about this thread repeatedly, then finally saying that you're out of here. Difficult to decide? After all, you really seem to like this thread, why else would you spend your ''precious'' time to return and comment?

Holy Shit! this debate is intense, missing only Spartacus and the highpriest :p

@Merc 7....what exactly do you get out of nit picking at Prometheus.....I have plenty of friends who I think might not appreciate this movie....but why are you so out on spoiling it for people....what do you wish to gain....anything or everything?

Merc7: Still not getting why you said I fan-raged... I'm not even a fan... neither a teen...

You can tell when people are on the losing side of an argument when they start vaulting Ad Hominem attacks. @ Juxtapose Merc 7 simply does not like the film and wishes to talk about the disgust he has for the movie and the people who made it. He posted an article that he thought supported his complaints very well in an attempt to enlighten what he perceives as a largely misguided and woefully ill informed fan base. @Engineering I meant what I said, the Matrix films and The Avengers were way more impressive from a technical standpoint than Prometheus was. Heck, even Watchmen boasted much better visuals throughout and did not have to rely on National Geographic style shots of beautiful landscapes to look gorgeous.

...seriously if i hated prometheus i would not even bother to come back to this site...i would have left one steaming pile of shit review and that would have marked my exit....but people that keep coming back here just to say how disappointed they were....it simply does not make any sense...?...so merc basically what i am saying is....F%#K OFF!

Merc7: Now that is just nasty... Not that I care for what you may eventually write [and I like reading diferent opinions and whatnot], but picking on people on a site is just... for a lack of a better expression... pointless. That is what Is really sad friend. Have a good night.

@ Drak...beautiful visuals is not all about CGI...it involves set pieces, cinematography, makeup, imaginative design and ultimately CGI....if you want really over the top CGI that will put you to sleep and wonder WTF just flew past the screen and managed to omit 20 explosions at the same time then watch Transformers!.... I agree that the plot was not 100% ...but sorry the visuals .....pure perfection !!....and never over bearing!!

@David 1 [i]Not that I care for what you may eventually write[/i] But you do care, otherwise you would've left this thread a long time ago. Have a good night buddy!

@Merc...ok i don't hate you.... it's ridiculous that we fighting about a movie...lol...so hugs to u 2...;)

@Juxtapose clearly you did not watch Planet Earth and Human Planet in high definition. Blows Prometheus out of the water in terms of visuals AND is actually intellectually rewarding and thought provoking. Prometheus literally has nothing you cannot already see done better in other films or television specials.

...no Drake....but i have seen one or 2 episodes....but how often do you see that in a sci-fi....i mean do anything compare to those nature shows in terms of camera and cinematography...no...not in any movie ever!....plus they filming real things...their is no cg or concept involved....so not a fair comparison !!

@ Juxtapose what about the documentary ALIEN PLANET... [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZ8AIfwcKn0]FAIR COMPARISON

ok...i have not seen that one yet...not gonna download it cause it will eat all my cap....but will check it out eventually...any movies you think that stood up to it?....look prometheus is not visually perfect perhaps....but it blows most 3D cg movies out of the water....it balances set design, cg and cinematography almost perfectly and the engineers...OMG....those where excellent!!....but yeah I have appreciation for the shows you mentioned....will check them out....for now i am off to bed....good night!!

I believe that you've all had your chance to flame each other. I hope you all feel warm and cozy inside. Please keep the thread on topic or it WILL be deleted. No further warning...

So hacked off I missed out on this thread -when it was peaking! Everyone on here knows what I think of this film, How I make a living. I'll like this film for you - but its not going to be pleasant. I value my integrity and knowledge about film making a lot more than 3000 denial filled bloggers. I'll like this piece of steaming shit for three, but i'll like it and i'll write nice threads again...for ten. Now you gotta way it up - Do you want to come out of denial and start having intelligent conversations again? or do you still want to keep pretending this movie is something more than an anti-cinema creative retard and be living in a sound proofed denial filled shell for the rest of the summer? Mediators, Drake equation, Merc 7, Ladies and Gentlemen.

@David 1 Like I said [img]http://www.josephpan.com/images/Obsessed_logo.jpg[/img] Can't let go can you?

@The High Priest Backtrack to the previous pages and you'll soon notice the members that you simply cannot have a conversation with, because of their comments. So this is intentional because it is so fun to reply to angry [i]Prometheus Guardians[/i]! Another fun thing is, it seems very difficult for the majority of fanboys to READ, and ask simple questions; ''what's your opinion in this''? ''what's your point''? ''Why so harsh?'' It's simple, it's my provocative way of making a point (freedom of speech remember), which is; read the article if you want (again nobody's forcing you) or simply ignore it. But as I suspected, the angry mob did not like this topic. I wanted to know how/why people disregard these moments in the film. If they see things differently, why is it so hard to spell it out. So it's simple, immature statement-immature answer. Objective question- objective answer. So far, it's not been very classy but hilarious!!!
