Like, that opening with the engineer and the first shot of the goo pits room are the only striking visual in the entire movie.

i literally wanted to rip my hair out every time the characters did anything because they were so unnecessarily stupidOriginally Posted by Wongdong Modernart
like not even "why are these guys not acting like robots," just "why would anyone do that, ever"
also: Ridley Scott explains why he made Prometheus, confirms two more sequels
He never sleeps. He never dies.
Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don't ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don't ask why I fight.
Remember that geologist with no interest in minerals?
More like "we headhunted people who are just competent to do what we want them to and no more, also most of them have pretty considerable neuroses besides the willingness to commit to interstellar missions in the first place."
I am very interested in Dragon Tattoo lady and robo head's excellent adventure to kill God and I hope he follows through.

Prometheus. I could no longer suspend my disbelief after 30 minutes into this movie. Doctors at a free clinic take more safety precautions than these Scooby Doo scientists did on a planet without any knowledge of its inhabitants if any. And when they do encounter the "locals", they remove their helmets, gloves and any common sense. I realize this is, just a movie. but you can still maintain common sense scientific protocols and create havoc and horror. Cheering for the Aliens helped me get through this film. If the humans in the next films are going to be careless and arrogant as the first ill pass.

Also, if you like 2001 Prometheus is legit just a straight extended commentary on it so hell

One thing I gotta hand to Prometheus, some scenes made me relive that genuine ewwww of watching Alien as a child and I haven't felt that in years.
As long as we acknowledge that some of those tropes are designed to appeal to emotions not intellect and being aware of the trope obviously neuters it.
By some, do you mean the singular freaky scene, the c-section?
That scene was just stupid.
That and the snake/worm thingies.
Also the psychological fear of someone just casually slipping a deadly parasite into your food or drink.
I dunno, creepy snake-things is an ick-factor for many. Can't say it can be compared with c-section, but still.
Continuing a proud franchise legacy of sexual predator robots.
Only if it's a comedy imo.
Oh shit I just realized
It's Galaxy Quest. The greatest science fiction film of all time is Galaxy Quest.
I can barely remember the movie anymore but I remember being confused why the robot acted how it did too. Like there was a flimsy pretext but it was so thin that I didn't want to accept it.

Anyways, I know we were talking about the best sci-fi movies of all time but we can't only talk about Prometheus.
epic ecks d
