Park Life 70 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Early reviews of Prometheus (gave fire to man no less) look worrying. My money is slowly moving over to the caped crusader. "It is a muddled, intricate, spectacular film, but more or less in control of all its craziness and very watchable. It lacks the central killer punch of Alien; it doesn't have its satirical brilliance and its tough, rationalist attack on human agency and human guilt. But there's a driving narrative impulse, and, however silly, a kind of idealism, a sense that it's exciting to make contact with whatever's out there." http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2012/may/30/prometheus-review In other places it says that it isn't that scary and the cgi is too nice (clean)...It's a bit too shiny and corporate, rather than the rusty and dusty 'Nostromo' with a tired and hagard crew just trying to survive. I wonder if the 'Lost' bloke has fucked this up? Still gonna see it obviously. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 They shouldn't compare it to Alien for a start as it has nothing to do with the franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not strictly a sequel /prequel but they go to the same planet, find the space jockey, work for the weyland corporation,get attacked by face huggers etc.etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenL 0 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Sounds like they're gonna go off on a completely different direction to Alien though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere as well that they're going to make a sequel which would distance itself even further from the Alien anthology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Cameron is slated for the sequel. They haven't made a sequel of it yet though. Aliens is fucking mint btw, not the masterpiece that Alien is as the first time I watched it I was about 10 and fucking terrified. Although due to the style of film that Aliens is I can watch that no matter what mood I'm in. Gaaaaammmeee over man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Think the biggest gun was the avengers. Can't see either of these beating it's box office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 The original took place in space, where no one can hear you scream; in this film, no one can hear you scream above the deafening, kettle drum-bothering orchestral score. http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2012/may/30/prometheus-review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 4855 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Ive got tickets to see Prometheus on Sunday. Looking forward to it due to the secrecy. I'm also trying to avoid any spoilers. Batman is going to be epic. Dark Knight is an all time classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 26830 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I'm struggling to think of any Superhero film I've actually enjoyed although Superman was ok when I was a young'un. Wouldn't watch it now, like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5908 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 The first Iron Man was good. Last Batman Begins was canny too. Lots of them are crap though I would agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Nolan is the new John Ford. http://www.mastersofcinema.net/2012/05/christopher-nolan-an-icon-the-rise-of-a-craftsman/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4220 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Think the biggest gun was the avengers. Can't see either of these beating it's box office. neither of them are holding the same level of anticipation for me as the Avenger did but im more likely to go and see batman than prometheus (though probably both) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 1 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 They shouldn't compare it to Alien for a start as it has nothing to do with the franchise. The second part of your sentence has no relevance to the first. All films are comparable to an extent, but certainly films of the same genre are.

Park Life 70 Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 Will Prometheus be out in NONE 3D? Yes, after the initial 3d release it will go to normal presentation as it goes to more screens. DVD and BR will be available in two versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All films are comparable to an extent, but certainly films of the same genre are. It's deffo set in the alien universe, but with a new storyline grafted on which will be added to by the follow up. Prometheus is deffo the more mystic version of the overall mythology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 70 Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 The secret is that the elite believe they are attaining godhood and are destined for the stars. Their ancient and occultic views are reflected in the dark themes of Prometheus, the very name of which hints at the quest for eternity and power among a group who think a divine right bestowed by a higher intelligence gives creedence to their meddling with the affairs of common man.
