Prometheus and ALL OTHER NEW ALIEN/PREDATOR SPOILERS

[Matt]

By the way, this isn't some sort of nerd rage over a beloved sci fi franchise...I'd direct these complaints agsint any film that displayed them. Lapses of logic and coherence are simply inexcusable in any film, especially when it's a serious film.

[Matt]

I'm getting angrier and angrier at it. It's simply baffling that a movie that takes itself so seriously makes so many stupid mistakes in the basic plot details. OK, so you need two guys to get separated from the others...can you not fucking think of a way to do that that makes sense without insulting the audience? Is there honestly a person alive that would actually not shit their pants and run the fuck away from a giant alien worm? Good God...how did that not get rethought.

Also, how is it that the captain of the ship is the guy to figure out the nature of the facility? Don't we have brilliant scientists to figure this out?

How does any of the lifecycle presented to us honestly make any sense? In ALIEN a lifecycle is depicted that you can follow...it's expanded upon in ALIENS. It's logical and consistent. It's a three stage process: facehugger, larva, and adult. Here, it's a clusterfuck of events to get to the adult stage, none of which is coherently shown in such a way that you can honestly explain it to someone.

Prometheus: Pretty on the Outside

[Matt]

Imax at the zoo, 3D, came to $16.50 a ticket. Visually, i honestly have to say that i got my money's worth. It was amazing and completely immersive.

[Abraham Smashington]

how much were the imax tickets Matt? Never saw a flick there before.

[Matt]

See it theatrically, in Imax if possible. It's a visual feast that is second to none...just be prepared to have your brain exit your head and start slapping you silly.

[Abraham Smashington]

told you. At least the Hoff had fun with it.

[Timothy225]

See this yet, Tim? I'm curious as to your thougbts on it.

I was supposed to on Friday, then on Saturday, but on both days plans went to shit. I'm hoping to go this weekend, although from what I'm hearing, I'm wondering if I shouldn't wait for the DVD.

Wound up watching a bootleg of Piranha 3DD, and am still recovering from that mistake.

[Abraham Smashington]

Bummed that I won't be able to see this until next weekend. Probably gonna check it out after the ALS walk. Really hard not reading spoilers....

[Matt]

See this yet, Tim? I'm curious as to your thougbts on it.

[BMichaelKrol]

Sure, it was good looking, but it was dreck.

[Matt]

This movie was poop. Seriously.

Ridley Scott presents BEAUTIFUL POOP

[BMichaelKrol]

This movie was poop. Seriously.

[Matt]

Agreed with Nathan: it's great until Dumb and Dumber get lost in the igloo. From that point on, it's strictly IDIOT MODE and it never stops until the credits roll.

[Nathan]

I was totally absorbed for the first 45 or so minutes, then Matt's aforementioned stupidity kicks in and it lost me. Still, very glad we saw it in imax 3d.
