Prometheus
There was a lot of hype for this movie, and some people have said they loved it. A lot of others are saying it's a total travesty and Ridley Scott needs to retire immediately.
So is it worth seeing? Are there any other overhyped movies I should or shouldn't avoid?

Everyone dies in the end except for the girl.

I had no impressions of it going in, and after watching it, I was kinda disappointed with the whole affair. Having the mystery of what was that spaceship and the Jockey on the L-2345wtfever explained really just killed it. That mystery is what drove the Alien franchise.
-
It's fun to watch. Kind of a one time only thing though. No reason to see it again.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] dahuterschuter It's worth it for the visuals, not much else.[/quote] I don't see the hate on it. I saw it at the theaters and I loved it.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Gibsonsg527 The ship they found on LV-426 is an Engineer ship. It's the exact same shape. Hell, they find an Engie in the control chair. [/quote]Yes its set in the same universe of the Alien franchise but none of the characters or events tie in with Alien so no its not a prequel. [/quote] Well then its a spiritual successor or should I say precursor? The xenomorph was at the end, as well as the space jockey, that we now know as engineers, we saw throughout the movie. There is a connection but it doesn't go nearly as deep as people are thinking. [Edited on 10.09.2012 6:53 PM PDT]

I thought it was great, the blu-ray with all the "deleted" key scenes is going to be well better. I think people were flaming it too harshly like most sci-fi's nowadays.
-
It was ok in my opinion. Not great, not bad. Just ok.

The DVD came out today, planning to watch it soon.

I enjoyed it. I don't understand why people hated it as strongly as they did. I may be biased due to Michael Fassbender and Noomi Rapapace being incredibly attractive people though.

It was good, one of the better movies of the year. Just don't go into it thinking you are going to get a movie exactly like Alien.

So much wasted potential. I've heard of bits of the original script which seemed interesting. It was actually more of a full on Alien prequel than the one released.

That depends on what you want out of the movie. If you are expecting a Alien prequel or to have your questions answered from the first movie you will probably be disappointed in it. Its best to view the movie as itself and not so much the films before it. Besides that though the movie did have a few flaws too and the movies expects you to fill in the questions yourself but I still really enjoyed the movie because of the outstanding visuals, it had some good main characters, the movie was well paced and the atmosphere was engrossing. So in short I would say at least rent it and see if you like it or not.

I've toyed with the idea of buying it. I have yet to see it.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Garland [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SweetTRIX I really enjoyed it, but if you're a big Alien fan do not see it thinking it is a prequal to the Alien franchise, it will just piss you off.[/quote]I'm not a super Alien fanboy, but I've seen most of the movies.[/quote] It's based within the Alien universe, but it is not directly linked to the original quadrilogy. They are planning on making a sequel, but this one wouldn't be a direct tie to the original alien movies. They'd have to make a third and have it as the 'Prometheus trilogy'. The last one would link directly to the original Alien. That's what I've read they have thought of doing.

Beautiful presentation, and an intriguing story that doesn't quite answer the questions it poses. I feel it was a solid movie. I bought it on blu ray first day, and it has to be said that the 'making of' documentary is incredible. It breaks down the movie very thoroughly - going through all levels of production - and provides clarity on the movie's subject matter. They've said there will be a sequel that will provide answers, didn't they? [Edited on 10.09.2012 4:09 PM PDT]

I didn't like it. It left me with a lot more questions than answers, and had HEAVY religious overtones. [Edited on 10.09.2012 4:04 PM PDT]

Reboot =/= prequel. There are supposedly 2 more films that are supposed to set up Alien 1. And that always works out. *looks at Star Wars*
