Prometheus was brought down by the clunky pseudo religious bollox that was tacked on and the re-working of the story to turn it into the 1st of a trilogy during the re-writes by Damon 'lost' Lindelof
not to mention some rather unbelievable actions of the characters
to turn it into the 1st of a trilogy
Holy unnecessary cash-cow-ing, Batman!
There's a pair of films that didn't need to be planned.

The religious aspect of the film was a) mostly the point, and b) in there right from the get go.
bit late to the party but
Get. Out.Hell, even Die Hard 2 is awesomeness.
or donnie head **** as my mate called it, was a proper weird to watch then I checked the website and ooooooh!I think you just described Donnie Darko.
a dozen viewings? hmm I thought it was only a couple of steps up in complexity from pulp fiction, I'd have thought just a couple (or find the easter egg on the dvd that lets you watch it in chronological order) Cracking film tho very cleverly done.Take Memento. That's a proper noodle-baking movie the first time you see it; but there's enough info in the film for you to untangle everything. Ok, it'll probably take you a dozen viewings, but it's all there.
Seems lots of people are keen to explain Prometheus in various ways:
Take Memento.
If I got a penny for every time I have said to my wife 'have we seen Memento?', I'd have £5.63.
Making the joke about whether you can/can't remember if you've seen momento....also B ark criteria 😀
I know, I know. But I still catch my wife out with it 🙂
And 10 bonus points for where I paraphrased the joke from...
Prometheus fans seem to think that underlying themes were lost on most watchers. No, there was just too much of stupid action by nearly all characters which drowned all the good ideas.
Simple stupid 80's and 90's action flicks have their place - bad guys get always hurt which is not the case in real life anymore. 🙁
getting away from ridley's nut job of a movie....
terminator TV series and 3 new movies as part for a reboot - somehow a timeline split at some point in the original movie,
what do YOU want to see?

^^^THIS, as soon as the idiots removed their helmets it was all downhill from there.
terminator TV series
The Sarah Connor Chronicles were very good, just a shame it was canned.
somehow a timeline split at some point in the original movie,
No need the Terminator timeline is constantly split.

More Chronicles = more Summer

more summer = more dullard acting, yet it does mean, more summer 😀
cut from the T3 movie was why the T100 looks like Arnie (because a character in the T3 movie played by arnie was used to model the robot) [url=
What's this T100 of which you speak? Arnie was a T800 model 101.
apologies, i got it wrong actually his full model is CSM-101 T800

That is awesome. Terrible. But awesome.
Love the people who use the woman running in a straight line from the ship was stupid. She wasn't getting away from it as it was freaking huge then it rolled over. I also reckon she shit her pants and paniced. Who care picking on such details when you've got a life form that has sulphuric acid for blood seems silly.
Oh and the xenomorphd have always grown without eating.
Cameron does the "shooting up a police station but somehow not hurting anyone" bit:

the original script is definitely more of an alien prequel, many of the sillier actions of the characters actually make sense
and noomi rapaces character is a scientist rather than a woolly headed whatever
nice comparison here

If you were stood in the road and you suddenly saw a car approaching you at high speed, which direction would you run?
I stand by "stupid" here, I'm afraid.

on the list already

so? still on the 'too stupid' list.
if that was about it, those two things, that would be an entirely manageable single serving sized suspension of disbelief, but Prometheus presented us with a whole smorgasbord of improbable, inexplicable, and downright impossible plot devices and characters
(and yes, I'm aware it was sci-fi)

You'd be surprised how many panic and do nothing or get it wrong.

That is all.
