5th Viewing: Ridley bugs me a little

I actually really do like the movie, the music, and design. A couple of sloppy edits and writing I could do without. I have a hard time believing RS could be sloppy in a couple of scenes: During the Fifield melee when the Fifield monster is attacking the second victim, Jackson and a mercenary come out shooting. The camera turns away to Fifield getting hit, then it's Janek and Chance that are coming through the door with flamethrowers. WTF is that all about? After that, we see Shaw running into Weyland's quarters and Jackson and the mercenary are in the room in white orderlies outfits, calm as if nothing had happened. So, does Jackson and his merc take a couple of shots and quickly run inside??? Like I said though, I actually do like the movie a lot. There's a bunch of references to ALIEN, which is why I keep going back. I do especially like the score. It's a high tech 70's movie. It's triumph and horror. ALIEN was the opposite: horror and triumph. That's how I see it, because how it felt when I saw ALIEN in the theaters. I hope blu-ray though, will clear up some of this stuff. I also have a 70inch screen and 7.1 channels that will be itching for this to get some play time. If this is a duplicated thread, I apologize. I did use the search engine and nothing showed up.

Errrmmm... maybe 5 viewings is enough? I think you're slowly starting to notice things you otherwise wouldn't. Tiny...tiny... imperfections. And it's driving you insane. If you go for a 6th, and come back here talking about some other mundane detail, well. Don't say i didn't warn ya. There's much more negatives to talk about in regards to the movie. But i'm not gonna point out some meticulous details that aren't even worth mentioning (no offense...). Basically, what i'm trying to say it; If you can't come up with a more solid negative to talk about, i think you like the movie too much. There's nothing bad you can really say about it... Might as well go wild and join in on the Nerdculation that's brewing up in here. Theories, speculation, ideas. More theories... YEAH, BABY!

let's use the Analogy and say, "Prometheus might be a trilogy that'll morph thorugh its life cycle," did you like that? The first stage PROMETHEUS: is the egg-facehugger stage. The second stage PARADISE: is the proto-alien. The third stage P-TITLE?: is the [i]final form[/i] of the trilogy. I'm sure there'll be re-EDITs of the original Prometheus once two and three come out, just to 'finish off the painting', it's what Scott (an artist) always does. :)
