It was supposed to pick up right where Prometheus left off and explore the Engineers' home planet and finish explaining the human origins storyline. He completely reverted to another generic Alien installation. Wtf. I hate Hollywood.

Today's sci fi audience doesn't like to think about the origins of man or anything for that matter. Just keep that wise cracking racoon and his try hard comedy comin' and fill that soundtrack with light 70s pop songs.

They realized the first movie was terrible and went in another direction?  |

Prometheus crew dieded in the crash. That's the last time you're going to see them.

Prometheus just sucked, though, on every conceivable level, except for the visuals. Also, you're an idiot. |

Shut it. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 was good. Suuuuure it was, and so was the first one. The first one was a smash hit, hence the sequel. Obviously, a lot of people disagree with you. Oh, and Guardians 2 entered the profit margins within a week of being released in the U.S. Suck on that. |

Prometheus didn't suck, obviously it was popular enough to warrant a sequel. Superhero movies are what suck. No, the Alien franchise is popular enough to warrant a sequel. Prometheus' got cancelled. And yes, it does suck. I could give a complete rundown of how Prometheus sucked, but that'd take forever, since literally every frame of footage for that movie has something bafflingly stupid happening, so I'll just focus on the subplot of the Geologist and his pet Biologist getting lost on their way back to the ship after finding dead aliens freaks them out... for reasons, I'm sure. So... this film expects me to believe the Geologist had these free-floating orbs that can fly all through the tunnels and fill out a fully 3D map version of the caverns, but they only transmit back to the ship? He didn't have a handheld GPS that would also be uploading the map that was being created? Or that someone from the ship couldn't have guided him back? Instead the film expects us to believe he was flying blind trying to find his way back to the vehicles, got lost in the caves, and then decided to SLEEP in the very same cavern that freaked him and his pet Biologist out earlier?! And then when confronted with a completely alien lifeform of unknown temperament, strength, diet, and capabilities, the Biologist decided it would be a good idea to try petting it?! Yes, Prometheus sucked. Superhero films are awesome. Here's a dollar. Buy a clue. |

Yes, Prometheus sucked. Superhero films are awesome. Here's a dollar. Buy a clue. I thought Prometheus was fun. I didn’t take it as seriously as those who list the obvious flaws in logic. They are right of course but it’s a little like listing them in a Monty Python film: beside the point. How could these knights build that giant rabbit again? So yes, the crew is acting silly the whole time and barely anything makes sense. It means it’s not meant to and this film is not about finding answers but about silly questioning. There is no point searching for a creator or asking about the point of one’s existence. Those who do are self-endangering idiots setting out to meet their own fears, which is what the film portrays. The guy who is freaked out by a set of long dead corpse but finds an unknown animal beautiful exemplifies this irrationality. He is unconsciously selecting his fears, reacting emotionally: the image of death unsettles him but life doesn’t. The same goes for Shaw who “chooses to believe” rather than follow scientific logic then will have sex as comfort for the thought of being sterile. I hear Alien: Covenant is a parody. I wonder if it’s true. |
