Chindie Posted September 18, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted September 18, 2012 It's just terribly written. Apparently those 2 blokes are happy to die 'cos they're mates with a bet. The film doesn't necessarily need any more length - it needed to use what it had better (f'naar!). But the blu-ray is coming with a fair amount of cut footage if the rumours are to be believed which interests me, just to see how they cut the thing to ribbons in the editing room, maybe that may help some of the ridiculous leaps of faith and complete lack of tension in much of the film. Won't save it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Ive already seen the 10 mins of deleted footage I think they will need to add at least another 30 mins on to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted September 20, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted September 20, 2012 Oh i enjoyed it too. I'll be getting the BluRay. Firstly because I think it will look fantastic. And secondly because I love the Alien series anyway so not owning this wouldn't be right (AvP doesn't count ) But there are undeniably a number of flaws with the film.

CI Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Finally got to see it. Don't see what all the negativity is about, really enjoyed it. Definitely an 8.5 out of 10 kind of film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Watched it last night. It was pretty good but with loads of WTF? moments where characters did odd things, and stuff didn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted December 1, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted December 1, 2012 There was some talk doing the rounds a month ago about the original script for this knocking around and proving that Damon Lindelof basically ruined it. IIRC the story was another writer had done the script and while, generally, the same plot, it had the makings of a far better film. The studio then gave that script to 'flavour of the month/has pictures of everyone in Hollywood doing Naughty Things' Damon, who absolutely butchered it in his token style, and we got served up Prometheus by Ridley Scott, who isn't and never will be a script man.

CI Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I think a lot more will click into place when I watch it for a second time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
