If any movie requires you to "turn off your brain to enjoy it, bro", you should set fire to it immediately
― Fiendish Doctor Wu (kingfish), Sunday, 30 September 2012 01:17 (eleven years ago) link
I like being surprised by movies, not figuring out who the killer is or what's going to happened next. Not saying I turn off my brain, but I'm not critical of a movie until the second time around. Unless it's just really bad and it can't cast a spell over me, Prometheus did manage to pull me under it's spell.

I also don't read review, try to avoid trailers and won't read a thread about a movie until I've seen it. Prometheus was beautiful to watch if anything, and yeah the plot had potholes in it, but I liked how ambitious it was.

"ALTERNATE BEGINNING AND ENDING" is an odd way to sell a dvd. i might be up for it if it has an alternate middle as well

though i bet the alternate beginning is like 20 minutes of noomi and annoying camping in the woods
i wonder if the engineer priest gives a speech in hebrew
on the ad it shows a bunch of blue dudes standing around the sacrificial blue dude, then the later blue dude at his controls which then cuts to a v quick shot of him standing with what looks like something alien-y looming behind him, v quick and vague
unless i got distracted that's all you get unless you torrent buy the blu-ray, normal dvd just gets the film

excuse me blu ray
next monday (in the uk anyway) and it has at least two versions. the 'special edition' has a 3 1/2 hour making-of documentary. might have been easier if scott just popped up at the beginning of the film and apologised

I actually ended up enjoying Prometheus too, despite its many glaring flaws. I don't blame anyone for ragging on it, though. There's a lot of needlessly stupid stuff in it.

Only just got round to seeing this - the first forty minutes or so were absolutely fantastic; massively intriguing, beautifully directed. Became a muddle once the action kicked in, with some cool ideas and sequences, but nothing in the way of a satisfying resolution for any of the plot threads.

I would actually like to read Spaights' version of Prometheus. He wrote a couple of hard sci-fi spec scripts, Passengers and Shadow 19, which are pretty good.
The final product really does have the stamp of Lindelof indulging Scott's worst instincts.
