Great breakdown & not just about the movie including all the opinions etc that muddles the franchise, also i never realised the storm was a boobytrap and i wondered how the crew never knew about it approaching with their tech. I have enjoyed watching the Alien breakdowns. Thanks 💯

[@joebyard4234]

That settles it Prometheus is officially a Christmas movie for me. No one can tell me otherwise

[@theocjr.43]

Die hard 2 as well

[@Quick_Ink]

Iron Man 3 alsp

[@joaovictorkelima2551]

there is an extended edit by a fan in which he puts all the deleted scenes and makes everything more cohesive with a very fluid edit

[@THEAJFrost]

I was just about to say about the Giftbearer edit that trims things, adds things and rearranges scenes so they make more sense. I still love both.

[@HumanHamCube]

Yeah like the scene about scanning the atmosphere closing the loophole about "why did they take their helmets off"

[@volleyjacket]

Wow, that spit-take-splice @18:23 was next level. And while I was drinking coffee, no les; I almost lost it. Bravo, good sir. Bravo.

[@johncaldwell4709]

YESSSSS I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS BREAKDOWN!!!

[@mckid2683]

Me too!!!

[@Anarchy303]

I don't care what anyone says, I like this movie

[@ellafieldipops]

I really like this film too. I saw it at the cinema and loved it!

[@heavyspoilers]

It’s definitely got its moment, I think it would be better appreciated if it wasn’t sold as a xenomorph movie

[@DangerMouseFN]

Same 👌

[@Humongous420]

Absolutely love this movie. I have always been more freaked out by the dang synthetic life in these movies. They are the real aliens, in my opinion. This movie deserves more credit. Not going to argue with anyone 😂 I love all the movies for their own reasons

[@jaredstonebraker7466]

The film traumatized me when I watched it for the first time. I knew then it was good.

[@llayton8466]

Love the aliens movies and the breakdowns on your Channel. Best way to kick off first day of my vacation

[@heavyspoilers]

Enjoy mate hope you have a good one

[@mattcliburn]

Paul ive been waiting for this since you did Romulus and mentioned prometheus and how the lore connected . Thank you sincerely my guys!

[@heavyspoilers]

Hope you enjoy it mate, thanks for checking out the vid. Covenant soon.

[@rossmitchellmusic1]

Its alllll connected...saving this for later!

[@Jazminishungry]

Woah! I had recently been looking for videos talking about this movie cause it’s so cool.

[@phystromo4493]

Another brilliant deep dive breakdown, definitely enjoy these passion project breakdowns and the face cam stuff x

[@JustKaens]

This breakdown showed me so many parallels to other films I didn't ever notice. This film does such a great job of being different and brilliant enough to cloud my noticing

[@captainawesome360]

Always loved this film. Thanks for covering it ☺️

[@Elevel3]

What timing! Wearing my chest buster T-shirt today, and sitting in my autonomous surgery chair while I work. 😮

[@heavyspoilers]

Let’s go

[@iamhim2285]

I just watched this movie again a few days ago. Good timing on the breakdown. This is a great movie.

[@datapenguin]

People hated this movie. I loved it. It actually got me into the Alien franchise.

[@elbobosan2]

I can see that. It has stunning visuals and David is spellbinding. It’s just that the story is filled with many instances of smart characters being very very stupid and that wasn’t really a part of the franchise which was based around death/failure through hubris or ignorance, but not stupidity.

[@ffffff52]

x2 I loved Prometheus even if I wasnt that interested in the Alien franchise; I eventually ended up only liking the 1st film + the 2 prequels

[@stomper7897]

Me too!!!

[@JorgeSanchezVFX]

Hey brother. I appreciate you and your team's time and research that goes into these new styles of videos. Great to hear and see more of the in-depth details from these classic movies.

[@Sober1299]

Love u Paul! Hope all Is well Buddy, y’all Been working hard lately, we appreciate it

[@themikeypass3828]

Not having the same welcoming intro was jarring! Come on Paul! Lol

[@iamthemurray16]

Love your team at Heavy Spoilers! Always enjoying your breakdowns and content. The james bond breakdowns were excellent.

[@naildriver296]

finally home. its now snowing. time to kick back and enjoy another breakdown

[@heavyspoilers]

Have a good one mate

[@naildriver296]

@@heavyspoilers was a great video and it made me want to rewatch the movie afterwards so, i did

[@danielstreuli7563]

Thank you HS. Another great video. Friday night sorted. Cheers everyone.

[@barryscott1756]

I've just rewatched all the alien films and rewatched all the breakdowns, and now I've got this new videos to watch Happy Friday

[@TheSoulcraft]

Idk why people knock this movie. Of the Alien films it covers way more information & touches those archetypal questions way more than the others. For me this is the only one that didn't just dissolve into a 'monster in the dark' movie. I had hoped Scott would really get deeper into these ideas with 'Raised by Wolves'.

[@alindberg8001]

But it didn't answer anything, only made more questions

[@edwardryan3908]

Bravo! Thank you for the effort and care

[@heavyspoilers]

Much love

[@NeverLetOff]

14:04 lol, I love this

[@adamenriquez7291]

Just watched this last night. Love this movie and franchise. Well done 👍🏽

[@henrypreston6204]

who's this absolute legend on camera can we have more of him please

[@bmhlogan]

Yes! Prometheus is amazing. There honestly isn't a bad Alien movie. Even the duds like 3 and Covenant have plenty of good elements. Thanks for this detailed breakdown!

[@HumanHamCube]

I wouldn't consider A³ a dud. It's a pretty cool movie in retrospect. It does its own thing, has its own style and tone, isn't plagued by countless call backs and recycled one liners. Pretty ballsy compared to contemporary franchise filmmaking

[@bmhlogan]

@@HumanHamCube oh for sure, I really enjoyed it, but I'd definitely say it's weak compared to the rest.

[@gabrielpate4221]

I literally searched for this video earlier this morning to see it didn’t exist and now it does… Life works in mysterious ways and this is wild! Thanks for the release

[@jr6366]

One nice thing about newer aliens movies is that even if they're not particularly great we at least get some fantastic moments showcasing what they can do with special effects.

[@joeparson9967]

Another channel calls a certain scene from this movie “The Prometheus school of running away from stuff”. Another great breakdown, thanks Paul.

[@J-Themain]

24:37 nothing but net? David's shot circles the hoop twice.

[@joleree1]

Phenomenal analysis!

[@ianpopp87]

yay! Thank you for video. Luv you beeg

[@burningpapersun1]

I absolutely adore this film. I am a huge fan of David and his journey.

[@bethb4432]

Just made my Friday!

[@dobby9996]

On the theme of creators coming back to kill their creations. The biggest one of all is Ridley Scott helping destroy this IP that he popularised, which he then carried over to the Gladiator franchise 😬

[@pletch73]

Shut up before I give you a fresh one. 😆 great breakdown. Love this channel

[@mynameisNeo369]

I was one of the people who had no idea this movie was related to the aliens franchise. Nor had i seen any of those movies except maybe pieces. Prometheus made me a fan of all the Alien films and im thankful to be so early to this review. Thanks Paul and everyone at heavy spoilers, your work is appreciated and inspiring 💜💜💜

[@Joe-bo-cow-bo]

Love seeing the bluray boxes!

[@hansnevaloses1741]

27:13 What kind of heat do you think the Xeno is packing??

[@JH-sd9ds]

I absolutely love the Prometheus movie.... Fantastic breakdown. And the Sprite girls cracked me up!! LoL

[@SpikeXtreme]

41:06 'big things have small beginnings' is also said in Lawrence of Arabia

[@denomic1280]

Pretty good breakdown - my favorite scenes in the movie was the discovery of the constellations and them showing different ancient photos around the world with the same constellation. discovery dialogue like that is something I dig personally 😀 Never said I was normal lol Another banger my dude, thank you! Looking forward for Covenant.

[@heavyspoilers]

Cheers mate

[@VelvetMetal.]

"General Grieveous, Perfect design " 👌 😂😂 cracked me right up lol highly agree

[@heavyspoilers]

Would be well useful

[@HumanHamCube]

I felt the same way about the T1000 choosing human form. John Connor should have been chased down the street by a giant AI ball with spikes

[@juangrandefranco1297]

This and Covenant made the lore in the Alien franchise far more compelling and interesting. Though it did muddy the waters regarding the Xenomorph’s existence it also added so much cool intrigue to it. Romulus was a great return to form and I hope we can have both kinds of Alien movies, we probably won’t but a boy can dream.

[@KimboKG14]

my gosh, I love this channel so much! 🥰

[@VINICIUSPINHEIRO-n9z]

i ALMOST DIED LAUGHING AT 20:08, BRILLIANT, VERY SUDDLE BY THE WAY

[@thecopperiris]

13:56 🤣🤣 perfect terminator "why" lol

[@jamiewilshaw3595]

Loved this video 👍👍

[@joshualastine7666]

Nice excited for this one

[@ryork12]

Sick! Was not expecting this one!! Hows it going Paul??

[@heavyspoilers]

I need a stiff drink

[@ryork12]

@heavyspoilers Well take the night off. If anyone asks, tell them I said it was ok.

[@amandayancosky]

I was waiting for this one!

[@cheekster777]

Thank you Paul.

[@danielsummers8410]

prometheus was by far my favorite from the universe but i also enjoyed Covenant a lot. the origin story stuff is cool - i think you can tell through the story of the series all the issues with the studios and director

[@shanejames13]

"the black goo does whatever the writers need it to do"... Is something you could also say about the black goo in the X Files 🤣

[@bucklesisfake]

I anticipated this like few other movies in my time. Watched the trailer- which like the original feel is one of the best- on almost daily basis leading up to it. I certainly liked it, but was expecting to love it like I did Alien & Aliens it's hasn't gotten to that level over time. But certainly contributes to my overall love of the franchise.

[@peybak]

There is a lot of Gnosticism in Prometheus. You can see the main idea in the movie as a gnostic tale. Ridley Scott is a big fan. He even directed an ad where a model reads "Thunder, Perfect Mind."

[@SurlockGnomez]

Who the hell would want Wesley Crusher? He's the Star Trek version of Ryan Arey.

[@Morboeatspeople]

53:24 Thank you! Anyone who complains about that run has never had to run from an immediate, sudden, lethal threat; we're wired to run directly opposed from the source of insurmountable danger.

[@elbobosan2]

26:10 In Alien it’s fairly obvious that putting the crew in danger, even though it is ordered, puts Ash in a state of conflict that could best be described as pain. It’s reasonable to assume that this is also true for David, but being that he decides to not just follow the order but exceed them, he has learned not to mind the pain.

[@tenimeartstudios]

Theron is "Therin" not "Thu-rone." Love you, Paul! I'm glad you're on camera (I didn't know how else to non-creepily word both compliments lol)!

[@vikingodin1986]

Well enjoyed 😉 👌

[@heavyspoilers]

Thank you

[@gmcmurr15]

I liked this movie. I bought it on DVD back in the day just to watch it

[@Hum0ng0us]

46:06 I've always wondered what that bright patch in North Africa near the red Sea is supposed to represent. There's no mention of it in the Art of the Movie book or anywhere else I can find.

[@alexwesson8703]

When me and my mate came out of the cinema, we both reflected on how though it was definitely a Ridley Scott film, it was not the alien film we were promised. In retrospect i still enjoy this film. Which is more than can be said for Covenant.

[@heavyspoilers]

hahah yeah I feel exactly the same, I'm hoping going back to covenant will make me enjoy it more but every single time I've watched it I've hated this. There have been times I've disliked this as well but on the whole I've probably taken more from rewatches on it.

[@lupinzar]

There is one good thing about the later Scott movies, they make 3 & 4 somewhat better by comparison.

[@adl0815]

Wow, just got shocked that it's actually 13 years since that movie came out. 🤯 Still watch it any now and then, I really like it, even though there are many open questions in the end.

[@Hum0ng0us]

19:55 The truth of that scene is it doesn't matter where or even When it takes place, as long as we see an Engineer and the Black Goo doing what they do. It's just a set up and introduction for the rest of the ideas that are going to be presented later in the movie.

[@BagtheTea99]

In terms of crazy creature features I feel like no youtube channel has a good accurate breakdown of Arcadian.

[@ReaLEthA]

Prometheus and Covenant confirmed Christmas movies

[@FilmRevealDecoder]

Prometheus is a masterpiece of sci-fi and mystery! The exploration of our origins and the Engineers' secrets is both thought-provoking and chilling. Loved this breakdown! 🚀✨

[@JACT1101]

After seeing this convoluted mess and then Covenant, I don't get how anyone could want Sir Diddly Squat to direct another.

[@ecbrown6151]

In an alternate universe Neil Blomkamp (District 9, Elysium) got handed the keys to the Aliens franchise, which was the original plan. What a shame.

[@Morboeatspeople]

I'm eating this video for breakfast; thanks for the delicious upload!

[@breannepeace8710]

I always loved this movie and Covenant (which I really hope you cover too). It makes me sad that there isn't a planned sequel (atleast that I have heard of) to Covenant because if David made the xenos we know and he is on a ship with people to experiment on, that could easily tie into the first movie. It would be cool if engineers found out what he did, chased him, and there would be xenos and a queen running around on the ship and then end up on the engineers ship that crashes on LV-426.

[@T2Woo]

I might go back and watch this movie again. Honestly, I think I’ve only seen it once back when it was released. Great breakdown as always! Not judging at all, but it does kind of look like you just rolled out of bed for this one 😅😂 To be fair, the last breakdown I watched was Dr. No, where you were rocking a nice suit. Joking aside, much love, my friend. Keep up the great work!

[@heavyspoilers]

Haha I did tbf, filmed this over ‘that week’ between Christmas and new year. I think. Might have been first week of Jan. It was a blur.

[@Moochtv]

I want to see the next film feature the Elephant bounty hunters!

[@ruthomas8942]

You remind me of someone and it's driving me mad 😂 Edit: The boom operator! You remind me of British comedian Jeremy Hardy!

[@anubusx]

Prometheus and Covenat ruined the Space Jockey and Xenomorph.

[@ellafieldipops]

30:25 Yorkie 😂😂😂😂

[@mckid2683]

Love 💕 this movie! Used to go to sleep with it playing all night over n over for over a year. Wife and I both Loved it and still do. We love all the "Alien" franchise movies, even AVP 1&2!!! "Alien Romulus" was an awesome addition. But...We need the end of the "David" trilogy after "Prometheus" and "Alien: Covenant"

[@Atomicjedi]

I'm somewhat of an oddball in the Alien-fan-o-verse, but I like Prometheus. Thanks for making a heavy spoilers video about it!

[@HumanHamCube]

Compared to Romulus it's really creative. Problem with Prom. Is that it is simultaneously over and under written.

[@_GeneralMechanics_]

I saw this movie in theaters, and while I really did enjoy it, I couldn't help myself and cracked a joke during the scene where Shaw gives birth to the trilobite. I went into my best Tommy Lee Jones impression and said, "Congratulations, it's a... squid." I wasn't even that loud but everyone else in the audience laughed.

[@jakeakoak8435]

14:05 love it

[@theocjr.43]

36:20 are we sure thats not David Cross long lost twin?

[@leedesigner1977]

I really enjoyed it to be honest. Although like you and many others, I wish they would have left more to our imagination. The imagination can be more powerful than the answers! Cheers Paul, Lee

[@ReneGiron]

Liked Prometheus, LOVED Romulus which has reinvigorated my interest in the franchise!

[@IsabellaCatherine19XX]

"Ridley Scott did Alien Romulus" and by 'did' you mean, of course, he was a producer on the film.

[@diegoparga9324]

Studios keep making movies set during Christmas trying to get a similar reaction as Die Hard and having people rewatch it every year.

[@nissanzenkiboy]

I love this movie I want more especially David story I’m the 1,000 like 👍
