Last night it was...

Spacey,

What did you think about "Prometheus"...?
I felt it was a huge disappointment....


Maybe I missed something?

Why were you disappointed?

Well like you I felt the production was good.


 But it was not without areas that lacked in authenticity.........or at least a better effort towards  realism?


I didn't care for the evolution of the story line and the lack of over all resolution.


I really feel like they threw out a theme concerning creation and our origins,  to draw us in.
 But..... took that theme, and surrounded it with rehashed status-quoe  "Hollywood" Sci-Fi /Action garbage to create a full story line?


I'm still unclear as to the true  meaning of it all, it seemed to lack clarity?
I took a few interpetation's  from it.....not in a good way.



   

True meaning? I don't know. I kind of thought it was a simple story line- an old man trying to beat death but all I know is it was fun for me.

That was clear.....With a push towards becareful what you wish for?


What do you think the point of the "Alien" popping out of the engineers was? It surely does not fit the timeline of the "Aliens" and "Aliens vs Predator" series.


And what was the proof we were even created by the engineers?Perhaps we were both created by another entity. The genome proved nothing but a genetic relationship. I mean the entire human race (with the exception of South Africans) carries a 3%-7% Neanderthal genome........yet I doubt they created us.


I just don't know..........


There are other things about this film I just didn't get.

I saw it in the theater.  Over all, I liked it.  While I had expectations, I tried to stay away from the hype as much as possible so they wouldn't get out of hand.  Like both of you, I found some plot holes, but they didn't bother me enough to spoil the film.  

I'm not a big fan of 3D.  The effect has tended to distract rather than enhance the few movies I've seen so far.  They did that right in Prometheus.
