Prometheus, C4

Just switched over, thanks for the heads up JC

I saw it at The Brixton Ritzy, I quite liked it but not a film I'd ever care to see again to be honest. 5/10 at a push.

Couldn't possibly live up to the hype and was more cerebral than most would have expected. As a stand alone I'd have given it a solid 7.

Awful Alien prequel.

2/10 in my film database

We know all about your film database you mucky pup.

Do you want that copy of Debbie Does Dartford back? I think somebody spilled some tea on it.

Really EO, a solid 7? I can't agree with you there, that is a score I'd give to a very good film and for me this wasn't.

7 is a good solid film for me slippy. I'm a generous sort and whilst you could argue the sum of it's parts weren't the greatest some of it was very good. I especially enjoyed the sacrifice scene with The Engineer early in the film and Charlize could cause a three week old hammered down coffin lid to explode off.

The CGI in stuff like this is amazing these days.
We've come a long way since the cutting edge special effects of "The Dambusters"
But even video games now have effects in them that 15 years ago would have been major news as a film.

I'm enoying it so far but no way I'd take the helmet off, anyone who knows anything knows as soon as you put yourself in an environment where there may be bugs and so on your immume system can't handle .. madness.

NO spoilers EO, FOR SHAME.

Don't worry checking. From memory you're already past the point I especially enjoyed. I think.

Awful film..Im massive fan of alien/aliens and this was biggest anticlimax of any film I've ever seen

Can't disagree with giggity.

Very disappointing filum.

bloody hell, I'm beginning to wish I hadn't bothered recording it 

i have been watching it, i wouldnt even give it a 2/10 at the moment.

It doesnt get better..

Never one to seek to convince people that dog shiit is caviar I've recorded it again and will give another review on second viewing.

If you guys are like this when you're supposed to be pro-metheus, I'd hate to see what you're like when you're anti-metheus

I'll see it through to the bitter end

I bought the DVD as soon as it came out because no way its gonna be crap ..just watched it once

I will genuinely send it to anyone for free if they want just PM me address

watched it at the cinema when it came outand fell asleep half way through then woke up 10 mins from the end,didnt miss much total crap

Well it's not best film I've ever seen but not that bad, a little slow maybe.

It's a bit 2001-ish as I'm not quite getting what's going on in places, especially with that robot as he's not making much sense wrt to his "final mission" if it's to help his boss. And some of the decisions by crew are pretty stupid.

The woman trapped naked in the confined space with a monster was a bit unnerving, reminds me of the time I pulled in a one man tent at a festival

Obviously none of you lot are intellectuals...

Classic Mike

FS The alien is that russian boxer who married the cheerleader.

Woops ukrainian isn't he, he might not like that, sorry, if he's on the betfair forum.

Panettiere?

Yes, I'm knackered, can't remember my own name, neber mind hers!

OK call me a geek but where did the baby squid thing get the biological matter from to grow to that size in a sealed room?

I was about to say that when they came in to land there seemed to be more than one of the pyramid things further along.

with it being a prequel why is the technology more advanced ?

It certainly isn't caviare EO

Jeezzzee that was terrible.

I really liked the idea of the little auto mapping drone things.

I'm sure that actress was on Norton a few weeks ago, and though her accent is spotless, she only started learning English a few years ago or something?

Must be 3D night at channel 4, next film is Piranha 3D.

If you saw Alien, imo, one of the best sci-fi horror films ever made, you'd know that the alien grows at an exceedingly alarming rate and reaches its full size in under a day.

That girl is Noomi Rapace, who shot to fame in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and it's 2 sequels, back in 2009.



Anyway, is the last scene wrong? He was the only one left alive, and he was found in the chair at the helm of the ship at the start of Alien.

He was killed by the alien bursting from his chest while sitting in the helm chair, not in the medical bay, as depicted in this film.

it looks good, the mood is strong and consistent, there are some great performances and there are some memorable stand alone scenes (the caesarian probably being the highlight), but that does not make up for a diabolical screenplay which makes absolutely no sense and is littered with gaping plotholes.
