End credits was fine) Seriously. Movie was a mess. Its not a prequel, its just reboot that feels like was made without completed script. It seemed that they did reshoots, and rewrites when studio cut the budget. And sets was repurposed for different scenes. And than he was made even worst 2 movies. The problem is, that they cant do a proper prequel, because it wouldnt contains a people. The origin story need to be about space jockey crew only. But who give a budget for movie like this? Who would watch movie like this? So we have what we have. Yet another slasher in space movie just came out.

Ridley's biggest weakness is that he seems unable to discern what a good script looks like. Just looking at Prometheus coming out shortly before The Martian. The gulf of quality between both there. But he keeps making enough movies that he can do a few duds and we still give him chances. Because, where his talent actually lies is in design and directing. No matter how bad the scripts are. He makes it look slick and professional. That all being said. The scientific illiteracy and reveling in ignorance and shortsighted ideas... Those factors kept me from embracing Prometheus.
@fattiger69573 ай бұрын
Agreed 100%. Ridley Scott is a great visual director. One of the greatest of all time. But Scott doesn't seem to understand people and story very well. Whenever he makes a movie with a good story, it seems like it's despite him and not because of him. When he works with a great screenwriter, then you get great results. But when he works with a hack like Lindeloft, you get this. And, based on recent comments by him about historical errors in his films, it seems like his past successes has made him very arrogant. He doesn't appear to listen to criticism very much.

I'm happy to find a Prometheus enjoyer in the comments. It's... my favorite Alien movie. My opinion on it is that no one is wrong in their choice of favorite movie. We all like what we like and I personally liked the vibes of Prometheus. Some people really like the vibe of Aliens with what Jim Cameron infused into it. Some like the OG Alien for the cosmic horror and mystery. Some want new ground to be tread - some feel that too much deviation is bad and the removal of the cosmic horror aspect retroactively colors the originals. It's a very complex set of things. But I personally love the new lore added in the prequels, the parallels to god, creation, and all of that. Thats the depth I personally wanted out of the series vs. it staying simpler and more of a monster/cosmic horror franchise. I think it gets increasingly harder to maintain the mystery and horror of the Xeno if you choose not to expand. Romulus was a great example of this I think. The Xeno in that was fantastic - but I didn't get the butterflies in my stomach horror I felt with the originals. But... I did with the newborn engineer hybrid. So evolution and expansion of the lore, I think, is necessary.

I was very lucky. I got to see Prometheus in the theater without seeing any previews or reviews or discussions about it of any kind. I experienced it totally blind, and it became one of my favorite movies of all time. It’s Sci-Fi perfection. I think the reason most people trash the movie (other than herd mentality) is because they had a bunch of preconceived ideas of what they wanted it to be, possibly based on the cryptic horror themed trailers. Disliking Prometheus because it isn’t another copy/paste Xenomorph slasher movie is extremely low IQ. Thank god Romulus takes place in an inconsequential timeline between 2 existing films, and thank god Ridley is still alive to hopefully give a Prometheus sequel another try. David might be the coolest Sci-Fi villain ever and he deserves a proper conclusion.

I think expectations were a big factor but a lot of that was down to the marketing, the trailer was shot in exactly the same way as 'Alien', even had the iconic 'dur dur duuur' sound effect ffs.

I wonder how much control Ridley or any Director even has over how their work is advertised when it’s finished? I’ll definitely make sure to avoid anymore marketing for that film before viewing it though. I’ve heard it a lot, but I’ve always felt that Prometheus WASN’T a “mess” at all. But maybe my tastes are strange. I also feel that (besides Prometheus) Pandorum and Chronicles Of Riddick are the best Sci-Fi movies of the past 20 years. Some might consider those “third rate”, but I find their atmosphere, set design, structure etc… to be exactly how science fiction should be done. It’s kind of a miracle Ridley was able to make such an old school feeling , thoughtful and moody sci-fi mystery in 2012, as opposed to the standard overhyped flashy, loud and simplistic reboot.

The Engineer storyline is what made Prometheus a great film. People were eager to see Shaw and David travel to the Engineer homeworld and get the answers Shaw was looking for. But that whole storyline was butchered in Covenant because 20th Century Fox catered to toxic fans..

"Toxic fans" and that's why no one takes you seriously. I thought the engineer storyline was terrible. Then covenant was also terrible for different reasons. The engineers could have been a good idea if implemented in a satisfying way, actually answering the questions it asks. Instead it's just Damon Lindelof mystery box writing

It will always be hilarious how part-time cashiers, vidja game streamers constantly know how scientists would act in any sort of situation with the amount of people claiming they know scientists wouldn't do the stuff they did in Prometheus.... Never understood how people thought there was going to be an amazing Alien "prequel" from a guy who had nothing to do with the creation of Alien. It was Dan O'Bannon who wrote it, O'Bannon who found Geiger etc. All Ridley Scott did was direct the movie and changed a few character names that he didn't like. Dan O'Bannon wanted to direct it himself but Fox wasn't willing to take a chance on him since he hadn't directed anything then.

I only liked the first two movies and Prometheus with Covenant. The expansion of the story, making It not just a horror but really deep philosophical story about the origins of humanity, God his creation really caught my attention. Later two movies are the pinnacle of underestimation by the auduance. Either the audience was not ready or they wanted another action, horror, sci-fi with superwoman kicking ass. The first one tried to please the audience giving action and strong woman, that's why I think It was weaker of the two. Covenant came and It was amazing. I still sometimes rewatch those movies and of those two Covenant stands out. Favourite scene was the opening one, same with the Covenant, Ridley did a great job on both of them.

I still can’t figure out how I feel about Lindelof..12 years later. I feel like Jon Spaihts ideas were better and more to the point if that makes sense. You still could have made more sequels to Alien Engineers even with his original draft IMO. Btw just subbed to your channel
