Registered 12 years agoWatched this again last night. Usually, I'm more than happy to ignore some silly stuff when it comes to sci-fi, but I can't get over the fact that the characters are probably the single most stupid set of people in existence, and we're supposed to believe that these people are responsible for trying to make the biggest discovery in human history. It's hard to fathom just how dumb these people are. Did Weyland run out of money and have to hire people on the cheap? Have the people of Earth gone mad from eating contaminated meat?
That said, I did enjoy the overarching mythology and ties into the Alien films. Think Prometheus 2 should be alright if they put more focus into the sense of discovery and less into paper-thin, dumb as fuck characters. -

Request for the Prometheus Sequel - ensure that the entire cast of characters aren't completely, hopelessly thick. -

I will never get over the fact that the one guy creating a map of the complex got lost.
That is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. It could have been rectified by having anyone else become incensed and trundle off. Anyone that wasn't actually a scientist so as to not be curious enough to stay.
There was lots to like but damn, those flaws are massive.

Morgan Freeman really loves a good flood story.
You get the same insight into the workings of the universe and the triumph of human endeavour from the flood story as you do from Deep Impact. -

"Yet Aronofsky, director of the Oscar-winning psychological drama Black Swan, revealed in February that he had won a battle with Paramount to screen his own version of Noah in cinemas after around half a dozen alternate cuts also failed to find traction with evangelical filmgoers. The studio had reportedly been so desperate to court Christian audiences in the US that it tested one version that opened with a montage of religious images and ended with a Christian rock song." -

It wasn't a snake - it was an alien. It didn't even have a head or a mouth. It was surviving on a planet with no other life meaning it's unlikely to be carnivorous. He's a biologist encountering the first ever alien life a human has ever encountered - that thing is fame and a Nobel prize. He has a suit and helmet on that can survive in a violent storm of sharp rocks. The hissing is to put the audience on edge. The character had never seen Alien.

Registered 16 years agoOn the other hand, its a life form he has never encountered before, on a hostile planet, where a catastrophe of some sort has clearly happened and it has evolved almost overnight from something that appears to be some kind of biological weapon.
And it also looks exactly like an earth king cobra with a fanny for a mouth.

Still though, it's an unknown creature. They didn't think there was life on the planet, but there it is - so what did they think it ate? If that's there then what else is?
And it may not have a head or a mouth, and it may be an alien, but still even I know when to recognise when an animal is pissed off and displaying. Maybe it wasn't being threatening, but they couldn't be sure and considering they were cut off from the rest of their group in a weird alien structure you'd think he'd at least consider the fact it could be deadly.
Because it was.

You can't really defend that moment...That was just dumb as hell for no reason...
THey could have so easily fixed that...Maybe have the non-biologist try and hug it? Even give the snakealien a small light so that it hypnotises or entrances its prey or something akin to viperfish... -
