thank you, thank you.

did i not share that i equate david to Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer), blade runner?

that another bloody movie tht will bore the hell out of those who find holes in Prometheus movie the size of moon's craters.

i know i dont always agree, i for one found james cameron's Avatar unimaginative, in fact i think he should stick to titanic Fine, if it had supposedly a large scientist community consulting him etc. ok enough, dont want to go there.


i hope to catch this again in imax

actually a lot of us presumed the beginning sacrifice scene to be giving life to humanity.

ridley didn't imply it was earth (he did say it could be anywhere in the galaxy)

we don't know IF it was a sacrifice was for the creation of life, what we did see the giant engineer drank the goop, fell into the waterfall, he then appear to disintegrate, stands of the DNA appear to break up, and appear to become something else. what else? what IF it was other what we, many of us presumed (mankind)?

while ridley/lindelof did say the engineers probably created up, in the movie, shaw showed us we share the same DNA, but for not the sacrifice itself did not lend to more then the young giant engineer 'died'.

Ridley did say the engineers travel thru space, somewhat like a gardener. still, it's open to interpretation.

Watched it, Like it, Would like to see what happens next.
Even though Vickers death looks like a comic relief for me.
Just don't understand what is the problem with the ending.
Aren't we supposed to be excited to see Prometheus ties with Alien?

When i read this it reminds me of Neil deGrasse 's Complaint on the wrong sky in Titanic.

What noooo, cameron don't make mistakes

well dat sparks the creation of life on earth mang....our first living organism....

who is the 2nd child? I know the first one is Alien, as burst out from the maker. how about the 2nd one?

The birth of Predator perhaps, hence the war between both species (AvP), while human is torn apart in the middle, hey, we're all cousins btw

I understand what you're saying about the satisfactory feeling when leaving the cinema ... however, I often believe that feeling corresponds to the expectation before entering the cinema. But let's say for casual movie-goers, who usually choose movies based on posters/movie stars and who want to enjoy the movie as standalone, without the need to consult external FAQs; I guess the feeling of being disappointed with Prometheus' scientifically 'stupid' with plenty of unanswered questions movie, is expected.

For me, I was wary of the mixed reviews before watching, so maybe that's why I could accept and shrugged off most of the minor complaints, but those 'bad writings' don't distract me from the bigger picture ... I was actually excited when the Engineer 'suited' up the Space Jockey gear; ya, the link to the 1st Alien film, however distant, is cool for me. And when I left the cinema, the movie got me thinking, made me read up more online and wanted to discuss more ... so, in that sense, it's a good movie for me; unlike some genuinely bad movies that made me wanna forget the whole thing.

A case in comparison; last weekend, I watched Synecdoche, New York (2008), the debut directorial film by the writer Charlie Kaufman who often used some scientific speculations in his screenplays. I thought based on his previous works, Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Human Nature, etc., I would be sufficiently entertained even though I might not get the whole film on 1st viewing. I watched without expectation, without even looking up the ratings/review score ... halfway thru the movie, I was totally confused and then sleep-watched thru the 2nd half. When the film ended, I was like WTF did I just watched? I went on imdb, expecting low if not mixed reviews ... it has 7.2/10 on imdb, and 67 metascore. So, I'm the one that don't get the film, I guess ... after reading the FAQs, I'm was humbled ... this is one of those films that required a lot of pre-requisite knowledge before watching in order to fully enjoy it. Is this the type of serious artistic movies that shouldn't be watched for pure entertainment? I'm not sure ... those who got it wrote reviews saying that it made them laugh...it is categorized as a drama & comedy. So, can it be considered an intellectual film and is the writing too clever for average audience? I guess so ... one user review said that half the cinema audience walked out half-way. And Roger Ebert considered "Synecdoche, New York" the best film of the decade ... (of course, we don't often agree with Mr. Ebert). So, without fully understanding, I could easily dismissed the film as a bad movie. What is a bad, a good or a great movie then? That I think, is what's interesting about films made not just for casual commercial entertainment ... it could be one man's meat or another man's poison, which reflects the diversity of human minds. When one starts to feel all films are boring, then one should analyze one's jaded life. We are all still learning ... no such thing as boring if our minds aren't.

Sorry, too much thinking aloud ...

As mentioned before, Ridley Scott and James Cameron don't consider the AvP 'prequels' canon. Anyway, AvP could be said are more to Predator series, the xenomorph aliens are just animals to be hunted.

Yes perhaps and I would agree with you on this.
So, I've watched Prometheus not long ago and yes, this movie is a splendid prequel. Honestly, I have not watched any films from the ALIENS franchise except Alien VS Predator (?).

At first I didn't know it is a prequel to this franchise until I read an article about it.
Looking forward to Prometheus 2! (Spoilers: So that thing at the end of the movie is the alien thingy? Woah!)

Waaaaa... imagine we all came from that one person Engineer DNA... hahahahaha
means that unknown Engineer that eat the black stuff is the god???

Then what created the Engineer..... interesting...
Prometheus II

So now...
Unknown species do something > Engineers species
Engineers commit sacrificial > Human mankind species
Human mankind (Elizabeth Shaw + Charlie Holloway] + Unknown Engineer > Green Aliens species

Ok, this is confusing now.
I'll have to read the full plot once more since after watching this film, I still got confused somehow.

omg mindforking movie lol

According to wkipedia this film's box office is now at $217.9 million
Is that good or bad?

I'm so afraid that they won't green-light the sequel

For a movie with a budget of $120-130 million, I guess it may have to surpass $240-250 million to greenlight a sequel.
Of course, DVD sales & merchandising could be deciding factor as well.
Hope we will see a sequel.

http://collider.com/what-david-said-to-the...metheus/174637/

~ according to Dr. Anil Biltoo of the SOAS Language Centre in London, who served as the Linguist Teacher on Prometheus.

Then he should attack Peter Wyland 1st, instead of pulling David's head.

Was David the nearest? I can't remember.
Or maybe it's a case of the messenger get shot first.

Anyway, before this I thought David said something which made the Engineer realized that David is a creation of human being; which confirmed their intention to eradicate human race before we become more advanced than the creator. He will kill everyone, and the idea of David being a creation of their creation, made them angry ... jealous even, perhaps. Heheh ...
