Mia fired up for PROMETHEUS (2012) Movie Reaction FIRST TIME WATCHING

[@munkeypantsman]

The original script was a bit blunt, but made more sense. Unfortunately there was a lot of studio meddling which resulted in a final draft that was confusing and left a lot of questions. Without going into too much detail, the original script was primarily about the humans being one of many failed attempts by the engineers to recreate themselves, having become infertile. They had attempted to correct humans, but their teachings were rejected (Jesus' crucifixion.) Earth was ordered to be sterilized, but an accident occurred and the ship never departed. ~2000 years later, the last engineer is awoken from his sleep to find an android and human selfishly asking for eternal life. He views the android as an insulting attempt by the unworthy humans to usurp the engineers as creators, and attacks them. It plays right into the title of the movie, Prometheus, who stole fire from the gods and was punished.

I have seen 2 consecutive Prometheus reactions where the reactor didn't notice David discretely insert the black substance into Dr Holloway's beverage. David's nefarious actions are even more enhanced in Alien Covenant.

I don’t think David’s true motivations become apparent until Covenant. He also gives Holloway the choice - how far would you go - and Holloway consents - saying he’d do anything and that was logical enough for David to infect him.

The engineers are an ancient alien super race. That is a call back to the first movie and the comics. They are responsible for seeding life on multiple worlds for various purposes. The black goo is their preferred multi purpose terraforming tool. Instead of building the atmosphere processors from aliens, they just spread the goo around and direct it to work. I say "multi purpose" because it has an additional setting that may be unlocked.... It is also a deadly bioweapon planet kilker.... It has a pre designated Endstate that no matter what it comes into contact with will eventually lead to Xenomorph forms... IF The weaponized setting is activated. Think of it like keeping a loaded gun rack, Herbicide, and Insecticide in one corner of your garden Shed. Unleashing Xenomorphs is what the engineers do when they decide to [CTRL+ALD+DEL] a project. David is definitely short the full set of Asimov protocols. 💀💀💀

I was very shocked that these had such a bad rating with some fans but most just want a shootemup movie and not let their minds wander a bit but i can appreciate them both.

[@danielpeckham5520]

Prometheus fans didn't like Covenant because it failed to answer any of the questions Prometheus posed and it killed off Shaw making everything she went though pointless, They should have continued Shaw's journey properly. Covenant also annoyed fans of the original Alien by suggesting David created the xeno, which is a silly idea.

[@Filboid2000]

This is a pretty good movie if you overlook several instances of sheer stupidity: if you're on an alien world whose atmosphere matches that of earth EXACTLY you still do NOT take off your helmet - the atmosphere may be perfect but you've no idea what kind of micro-organisms might be floating around. Second, upon finding an alien organism, you do NOT approach it like you're approaching a kitten, and you certainly don't get within arm's reach of it. Next, although one may have sympathy for the crewmembers who were "infected", under no circumstances should they be allowed on board the ship - they might infect the entire crew (remember what happened to Ripley in the movie "Alien" because quarantine protocol was over-ridden?).

There are a million different awesome potential explanations for it, and if left a mystery and up to the imagination, it could be any and all of them. Instead, they attempted to explain it and did a less than mediocre job, which, by virtue of canon affects the original movies, as well as any future movies.

[@LukeLovesRose]

Ok. I just realized why the scientist was so excited about the xenomorph snake. It has no teeth. It essentially looks like a giant worm. Who would feel really threatened by a worm, especially if it has no teeth?? In fact they did start out as worms. But the audience knows that every creature in this universe is beyond lethal. So we all think we know better and we treat the characters with disdain if they do something that goes against our better instincts. And about Charlie taking off his helmet, i mean, the instruments say that theres an atmosphere with oxygen. If theres no contaminants, why not? I cant believe critics get so petty as to attack Shaw and Vickers for not running out from under the falling ship. They clearly werent paying attention. The falling debris from Prometheus was hitting the ground like meteors.

[@philosophymf]

You still shouldn't go around poking some unknown organism even if it seems safe, the guys field is biology and there are plenty of animalia on earth that look non-threatening but are pretty lethal. The instruments just tell them whether the atmosphere is breathable, they don't what kind of flora and fauna could be present or airborne viruses, they don't know what's in the water that was dripping on them. Breathable atmosphere does not warrant breaking your seal on a planet you literally just landed on and know nothing about. The debris could be just as easily avoided as being crushed by the ship, and it mostly fell in one piece from what can be observed in the wide shot and the Prometheus ship likely crashed some place else since it isn't seen for the rest of the movie, so yeah that was just a dumb writing decision. Not just critics think this, a lot of the actual audience is of the same opinion here. There's a huge disconnect in how the characters are written here versus Alien, Ridley should have spent more time on the script than he did in the end, cause there's a lot of great things about this film too but the bad outweighs them.

You really interpreted this movie very differently from how I’ve seen everyone else interpret it. David is not a good guy. He was less concerned about the safety of the crew and more concerned with the safety of the mission, which was to discover and find out about the engineers vis-à-vis his creator. That’s why he intentionally infected the scientist by putting the black goo in his drink.

[@verkpunk]

Still the 3rd best Alien movie.

[@jenssylvesterwesemann7980]

I love-hate this film, for several reasons. What I despise most about it: it celebrates ignorance. We do actually know quite a lot about the topics of Prometheus; not everything, but so much that it is unwarranted to give any credit to the stance of Shaw in this film of "choosing to believe". The writer, Damon Lindelof, apparently didn't know anything about genetics, he didn't understand astronomy, or even distances in space (half a billion miles to get laid just gets you to Jupiter); he didn't even understand basic biology. Just staple a gaping wound closed and then run around and perform abseiling? Wouldn't work. The problem is, you could address it in-script, like they did with "Dredd" from the same year: they solved the problem of a gaping wound by applying some foamy substance to the wound that would close it. They gave it some thought, Lindelof didn't. What's more, the characters in this film are selfish and unlikable. Apparently, Lindelof has never met real scientists before, let alone decent people. A beautiful film in every respect, except the tiny little detail of the screenplay. What a wasted opportunity for a great film.

[@mm9773]

Lindelof is an idiot - no idea how they let him anywhere near such big movies. No wait, I have: previous projects of him have made money, and that’s the only way success is measured. It’s just weird that Ridley Scott allowed this to happen, he used to fight over every detail.

Charlie gets despondent after the initial failure, despite there being multiple structures to examine (shown when they land). Why is Mr Burns, i mean Weyland, kept hidden from the crew? He's funding the mission so what purpose does it serve, except to surprise the audience? How does Fifield get back to the ship with nobody noticing?

[@lurkerrekrul]

I hated this movie. Why? Because it took one of the most intriguing aspects of the original Alien, the fossilized Space Jockey, and turns it into a space suit for a humanoid alien who could pass for a lazy Star Trek alien of the week. For years fans speculated what the creature would have looked like when it was alive, how it could be part of the chair, and then along comes this movie, and oh, it's really just a big bald guy. It also appears to directly contradict the original movie. When they examined the Space Jockey, there were clearly eye sockets in the head, and rib bones, not a helmet and space suit. Beyond that, I can't stand all the stupid things. Like taking off their helmets when there could be alien bacteria in the air. Bringing the head of an alien on board when it could also contain alien bacteria. Wanting to touch an alien creature. And those are just the stupid decisions by characters. Why do they have tech that's about a century more advanced than what they had in Alien? Why are the helmets made out of brittle glass that shatters if a character merely falls down and it hits the ground? How is there breathable air on the alien ship when they didn't pass through any kind of airlock that would keep said air inside? If the ship has just sitting there for a couple thousand years with the doors open, there wouldn't be any air left, except in sealed compartments. And of course the biggest bit of stupidity: There is absolutely no way that David could know how to pronounce the alien language. Learning to read it would be virtually impossible without some frame of reference, but there is no possible way he could know what it sounds like when spoken. If you were given a stack of books written in Japanese, and stranded alone on an island, you would never be able to figure out how to read them. And even if you were given a translation guide, and you learned to read and write Japanese flawlessly, you would still wouldn't have the faintest clue how to pronounce it.

[@changsangma1915]

There are some comics that attempt to explain the true Space Jockey species. In one comic they are called as the Mala'kak an ancient species master of bio manipulation to an extent their very technology look like a bizarre blend of flesh & metal fused together. Some fan theory suggest these ancient species created the Engineers as a slave race to serve their purpose. But over a course of time the Mala'kaks died out and the Engineers decided to carry on their intended purposes by fashioning their technology & looks to honor their fallen masters. As for David, let's say he's one robot designed to be Really smart in reading into things and he has been collecting datas once inside the pyramid dome. Him activating the wall interface must be purely by accident but as a robot he saved the data of the symbols that will enable him to work out the other pieces of information as the mission went along...& getting to see the hologram of the Engineer speaking to other crews in the pilot room thus figuring how to speak the language.

[@lurkerrekrul]

@@changsangma1915 Even with a hologram, there's still no guide as to how to speak their language. Going back to my Japanese example, you learn to read and write Japanese, then I show you a 30 clip of people speaking Japanese. Unless that clip has Japanese subtitles so you can connect the spoken words to the written word, it's all just random sounds. Figuring it out by context doesn't really work either. You would need to analyze hours of footage of a language being spoken in order to piece together what was being said. And even then, you would need some kind of a guide to connect it to the written version of that language.

Imagine an Alien movie without aliens in it. That is this movie.

[@MusaFinderi]

Prometheus is a guilty pleasure. Technically it's awesome, but the characters are intolerable idiots (except Shaw) and writing is too unrealistic even for sci-fi... and then it got even worse with Covenant, like "what were they thinking" -bad.

[@cherylsims5636]

Your channel watched these movies out of sequence. It should have Alien, then Prometheus, then Aliens then Alien Covenant. I mentioned this but see u got different reactors. You already saw Covenat which is the sequel. So it would have made much more sense to you if you watched order I suggested. Now GET the 10 minute deleted talk between David and the Engineer. You should have played that at the end of this movie, u lost so much info. Because of all these things I have to give you a DISLIKE

[@shainewhite2781]

Not everyone likes this movie as they complained about the scientists being idiots that shouldn't mess with something that they never leave alone.

[@reptomicus]

I'm not sure what universe they live in where people don't make blunders in the edge of discovery, even scientists. Look at Madam Curie pioneer of x-ray technology, dosed herself so much that even her notes are still too radioactive to handle without a radiation suit.

[@Musabre]

@@reptomicus There's a difference between discovering / pioneering a new tech, and seeing an ALIEN LIFE FORM, and deciding to PET IT. Like, the difference in common sense, and survival instincts is vast. The only explanation for some of the actions in this movie by the 'scientists' is that they are incredibly reckless and/or stupid. That's okay to have in a movie, humans are like that all the time, but don't pretend it has anything to do with 'pioneering science' haha. They just did stupid things.

Interesting how at the beginning of the movie they give "evolution" a pass as if it's an afterthought and an accepted fact by (ex-alcoholic) Charles Darwin.

[@jarls5890]

Huh? You do know evolution IS an accepted scientific "fact" (there are no such things) - regardless of what your mom told you in homeschool.

[@gigantorize]

@@jarls5890 I was being too vague and I dislike being vague. 'Human evolution' is what I meant to specify Darwin was in error about. He was correct concerning plants and vegetation IMHO, but can you say where this human evolution first began?

[@jarls5890]

@@gigantorize In what way was he in error? There may be many details he was not correct about - that has later been clarified as the field have been further studied since he wrote his book. But by and large he was correct. When you say human evolution - are you talking about abiogenesis as in when life started? This is NOT part of evolution. Nobody has a clear idea how the very first life began. And we may never know. Perhaps we may gain valuable insight if we find remnants of basic life on other planets and moons. Or are you talking about evolution from the first mammals until homo sapiens? Or are you talking about current and ongoing evolution of the human species?

[@jgone4856]

Bro what

[@danielpeckham5520]

Huh? Most educated people accept evolution, actually most major christian churches accept evolution too.

[@botz77]

Great movie filled with some very stupid characters.

[@ECCastiron]

I really thought this movies sucked.

[@kilroy987]

If I were human and found out aliens made us and then wanted to kill us, I wouldn't be interested in giving up everything to know why. I also wouldn't want to meet the aliens just to hope they give me the secret to immortality. So this movie was a solid miss for me. It started strong but dropped the ball. As usual, I chalk it up to movie makers changing their tastes as they age.

[@rumrunner23]

I lost interest when it was clear they were going to do the same old tired bad robot story plot. Completely unbelievable.

[@phillydelphia8760]

@@rumrunner23 he wasn't really a bad robot though. David was just doing as he was told by Weyland. He was the most interesting part of prometheus and covenant imo. Unfortunately, that just didn't really go anywhere and the writing lacked creativity. The setup was there, but no real follow through.

[@rumrunner23]

@@phillydelphia8760 There would be no reason for humans to explore space if robots/synthetics were as advanced/self aware as these in the the Alien movies. It is a terrible premise and lazy writing to make robots the bad guys when there could have been so much more interest if it was about just humans exploring and their struggle to survive.

[@johnbeans2000]

​@@rumrunner23depends how you see it i guess. Maybe i'm stupid but i don't see david as a bad guy really... he does what he thinks is best for himself exactly as humans... Humans created them so how can the androids ever really be the bad guys?

[@stevesheroan4131]

@@johnbeans2000I agree in spirit with your logic, but I think the movie definition of “bad guy” is generally any entity that is posing an imminent threat to the writers’ intended protagonist. By that definition it can posited that David is the “bad guy” in this film.

[@johnbeans2000]

@@stevesheroan4131 ofc, agree very much that david is the antagonist/bad guy and very much so intentended as such. I only mention that in the larger picture of things if you think about it the androids can never be bad if created by humans. But if strictly saying androids/robots are "lazy" antagonists I can agree on that for every movie after. Too much focus on androids since Prometheus... it has become a android franchise...

[@MickeyStartraveller]

this movie is basically braindead, and the sequel is even dumber.... time should have stopped before 2000...

[@thedudebryan98]

Nah this movie is great. Resurrection is brain dead 😂and that's from the late 90s. Thanks to prometheus the alien movies were reintroduced to a new audience

[@thedudebryan98]

@beevezeepe6615 Resurrection was the final movie, and prometheus brought the interest back. Even covenant got people back into the Franshise. Trying to act like prometheus sucks and "time should have stopped before 2000" is actually brain rot.
