"Prometheus"

Sorry guys, I thought it sucked.

The storyline was great but the application was bad. Definately Ridley Scott's worst movie. There were so many subplots and plot items that were never forwarded in the movie. So David finds slime on a panel - so what? Everything else is black ooze!!! And can somebody explain to me why 17 strangers would get on a spaceship, stuck in cryo-sleep for two years with no clue what the mission is or where they are going???? who does that? Poor just poor. And do we really need background music for every scene of every minute throughout the whole movie??

Don't get me wrong. I love the storyline and its connection with "Alien" et. al. but it feels like they filmed everything in 2 days - "ohhh lets do this, quick, now this, ohhhh now this..."

Highly, highly disappointed. And for the record: I love the "Alien " franchise (minus "AVP"), I love Ridley Scott, I love Walter Hill (who also wrote and produced "Alien" with Dan O'Bannon and also directed some great movies like "Southern Comfort").

I would have to agree, but I didn't think the movie sucked per se, it's just I was overly excited to see something that it wasn't...and was maybe lead to believe it was by the previews. That being said if you go to IMDB and read a bit up on the questions posted it begins to make a little more sense. But I would have to say it was too filled with red herrings...and I was disappointed.
 
There were too many inconsitancies for my taste.

As an example:

As they are roaming across the landscape looking for a place to land, they see the straight roadway in front of the temple/tower/ant hill. Nowhere did anybody say "Lets explore that". Ok, let that slide - but when they go outside, its hellbent for leather to the temple/tower/ant hill. Who the 'ell does that on a strange, new world?? Don't you cautiously step your foot out, say "One small step...." and start seeing if James Arness is hiding behind a rock before racing 200 miles to the first McDonalds in Space????

Another movie where if Mr. Scott took a week off to relax in Aruba then took six months to go over the script it would be an awesome movie. Thats where my beef is. A good movie that could have been great.
