I had high hopes for this one. Everything...I agree. I had high hopes for this one. Everything looks gorgeous but I feel like only half the dialogue got onto the screen. I felt like I was watching a James Cameron movie most of the time. Good looking but empty empty empty. I think some things need to be left alone or they should have told us to lower our expectations about this being an Alien prequel.Kalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00663751053844271849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338557.post-60020280092121903772012-11-14T19:38:11.954-05:002012-11-14T19:38:11.954-05:00I know you're not a fan of Alien... I myself a...I know you're not a fan of Alien... I myself am... but I don't think it matters either way. Prometheus was shit. Worse, it was shit that thought it was profound. If I wasn't already thankfully repressing my memory of what actually happened in this offensively stupid movie, I could probably give you a list of 50 things about it that I thought was stupid, but Ridley Scott apparently thought we'd overlook because we'd all be so happy Ridley Scott was back in the Alien-verse again.<br /><br />I had no interest in a sequel to Blade Runner -- another film I believe you don't care much for -- but seeing how Scott muffed this one makes me downright adamant that it shouldn't happen.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11001416935247782462noreply@blogger.com
