Prometheus (2012) Synopsis :
Millions of years ago, a spacecraft of an advanced humanoid alien race arrives on Earth. One of the aliens consumes a dark liquid, causing its body to disintegrate and fall into a nearby waterfall. We see its DNA break down and recombine, seeding Earth with the building blocks of life.In the year 2089 on the Isle of Skye off the shore of Scotland, archaeologist couple Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and her boyfriend Charlie Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green) discover a star map in a cave which they record among the remnants of several otherwise unconnected ancient cultures. They interpret this as an invitation from humanity's forerunners. Peter Weyland (Guy Pearce), the elderly founder and CEO of the Weyland Corporation, funds the creation of the scientific deep space research vessel called the USS Prometheus to follow the map to the distant moon of LV-223 several light years from Earth.
The ship's crew travels in hibernation stasis at light speed while the android David (Michael Fassbender).......
Goofs: Revealing mistakes: Just before Dr Holloway points out the area to land, he unstraps himself from his chair. While leaving the chair he bumps it and you can clearly see the chair is loose on the floor.
Plot: A team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race. Full summary » »
Story: This film is set in 2093 and takes place in the same universe as the 'Alien' movies. A group of explorers, including some archaeologists, are on an "undisclosed" mission. They arrive at a planet millions of miles away from Earth. The team spot what they believe to be signs of civilization. They go to investigate and find more than just signs, they find conclusive evidence. But some of them have an ulterior motive for being there, including the Weyland Corporation. They believe that this is where the human race actually came from. Things soon turn from excitement to survival once inside their discovery. Written byMichael Hallows Eve

Prometheus (2012) Review by michael-albertsen from Denmark
I'm really sorry, but this a major disappointment.
No, I didn't expect miracles or something close to the original Alien.I've been following Scott for 30 years - and it's clear that he hasbeen on the decline since Gladiator and Black Hawk Down.
I liked a few of his later movies like A Good Year - but most have beenrather flat and uninspired.
One thing I've noticed, is that he's gotten increasingly complacentwith his own "point of view" in terms of historical facts and howthings work in reality. It's like he has a complete disregard forplausible motivations or factual information about how things work.
Case in point - there's a scene in the movie where a certain characterhas to have an operation performed on her body - and it involvesslicing directly through the skin and muscle-tissue of her abdomen.After the procedure, she's simply "stitched together" by metal clips inlike 3 seconds - and with a bit of local anesthetic, she continues tomove and jump about with some moaning. Ehm, you CAN'T have any kind ofnormal movement with your muscle tissue completely severed - and therewas absolutely no healing involved. Just one of a series of ridiculousevents.
The plot is entirely juvenile and cliché stuff with "profound"questions like who created us. For some reason, the beings who createdus also want to kill us - and it seems to involve incredibly elaborategenetic engineering that also happened to kill most of them in theirremote "lab facility". They're CLEARLY much more powerful than we are -and they could just bomb the hell out of us, or do it in a thousandsimpler ways. But no, they seem to want to utilize excessivelyelaborate and dangerous genetic modification or infestation - that theycan't even control.
They also like to record recent events with some kind of holographicrecorder device that is unable to render clear images, only some coolghostly images that I bet Scott loved to play with. But they're quiteflexible in how they let you play recordings of their securityprocedure - so you can access their systems without effort.
Characters are void of personality and growth, they're REALLY stupid -and they like to freak out for no reason, and they like to stay calmand playful when there IS a reason - like when encountering a nastylooking cobra-worm - an alien - for the first time in history.
Among these faceless people - we have some willing to gleefully commitsuicide by ramming an alien ship, because they like their captain, andthey're required to do so because he "can't fly worth a damn" - despitehim being the primary pilot hired by a billionaire to do nothing butfly the ship.
We have a religious scientist who concludes that she's found ourcreators, based on: "It's what I choose to believe".
Then we have the very same religious scientist look at an alien "head"they brought back - and she notices some strange growth on it. She thenspends 2 seconds thinking and concludes that this is obviously somekind of "foreign cells" (impressive deduction, I must say) - and shedecides to stimulate the cells with electricity - just to see whathappens. No research - no caution - no nothing.
We have people who decide to open the door to their ship, seeminglywith no thought process, despite having just faced complete chaos byextremely hostile alien forces - because one of their crew mates seemsto be lying in front of the door. This while other crew mates have justbeen taken over by some kind of alien infestation.
Then we have the boyfriend of said religious scientist (a douche) whodecides that the air in an alien environment is safe to breathe becausehis device tells him it is - and he immediately removes his helmet. Aclassic Hollywood scientist moment, and clearly there's no need toworry about biological contaminants in a place like that.
This movie is FULL of this kind of utterly implausible behavior andrandom decisions.
It has a couple of "for effect" gore scenes - but Scott manages toinclude ZERO tension along with them. As a result, they're mildlydisgusting - but they have no lasting effect whatsoever.
The "aliens" that are a part of this movie all look like plastic -because of overly smooth and pale skin. They look like Lovecraftcreatures without a much-needed paint-job.
We have a horribly predictable, pointless and wasted twist involvingGuy Pearce and a certain other cast member.
We have an android, well-acted by Fassbender, who seems to be fullyrandom in his decisions and motivations. Few actions made sense in anycontext - not to me anyway.
The music was overwrought and didn't fit with the mood of the film, andit seemed like one theme being repeated endlessly. A surprise, givenScott's usual flair for good music.
I think Lindelof is a complete and total hack - who only got the jobbecause he was the "yes-man" who could match Scott's ego. This ispretty obvious in interviews - where Lindelof always manages topublicly kiss Scott's behind.
1 Star for Fassbender's performance.
1 Star for the amazingly detailed visuals.
1 Star for how the above combine to form the excellent beginning.
Now, it's just a matter of leaning back - musing over a thousanddifferent people coming up with a thousand different explanations -each being the "correct" interpretation of this deep andthought-provoking masterpiece.
Going by the IMDb rating, I can do nothing but stay mesmerized by howefficient it is to rely on the "Emperor's New Clothes" effect and lethype do the rest. Stay real Scott, Lindelof and Hollywood.
Prometheus (2012) Review by BJBatimdb from Cardiff, Wales
Prometheus is the story of a trillion-dollar mission to discover theorigins of human life on a distant planet. Basically, this is supposedto be the greatest exploration undertaken in the history of mankind.
So who do they send? A gaggle of fractious goons whose collectivescientific nous is rivalled only by that of the Three Stooges. Withinminutes of touching down (conveniently beside the only 'man-made'structures on the planet, a'la 1960s Star Trek) the 'scientists' areyanking off their helmets, on the basis of 'it seems fine to me',dipping their fingers into strange organic ooze, and lugging a severedalien head back to an unquarantined spaceship in a sandwich bag.
Once there, they speedily discover the meaning of life. Then, while oneof them gets a bit drunk, his two female companions decide it would beuseful to stimulate the head electrically to reanimate it. They don'tsay why. They give it a bit too much juice, then too little,then ditherover too much or too little like a couple of schoolgirls fiddling witha dicky bunsen burner, while the most important scientific discovery inhuman history waggles its ears and rolls its eyes - before eventuallyblowing up like a frog in a microwave.
Are the scientists abashed? Is the man angry? Do they all calm down andremember they have degrees in clever things, not diplomas in macramé?Do they heck.
The WHOLE MOVIE is a litany of ludicrous so-called science, schoolboyerrors, and pseudo-profundity about the origin of species. Ironicreally, when none of the crew would have a chance in hell in any sortof contest governed by Darwinian rules.
Crass stupidity is rampant in every department. Hi-tech helmets recordevery heartbeat - apparently until anything worth recording happens;stranded crewmates are abandoned to their fate in favour of a quickshag, and the spaceship door is opened to anyone who comes a-knocking.Although, after hitting the 'welcome' button, Idris Alba does do adouble take and go 'Hold on a second!' but that might have just been aninvoluntary ad lib at his own character's baffling idiocy.
There is spectacular cinematography and effects, but not one iota oforiginality has been squandered on plot, subtext, tension or characters- which are as shallow as the Prometheus's muddy little gene pool.
Ridley Scott is a hero of mine, but Prometheus is not the intelligent,emotionally satisfying prequel that Alien deserves. It's a derisory,empty experience - and anyone who loved Alien is surely too old and toosmart to be fobbed off with something this bad just because it's shiny.
Prometheus (2012) Review by Jey Stone from United Kingdom
Lindelhoffed /'LinDelHôfd/
Verb:
1 a : Similar to a "Rick Roll", when one is conned into viewing aseries of moving pictures with no conclusive finale, despite the viewerinvesting a lot of emotion and time in the story.
b (1) : a bottom feeder (2) : to Lindelhoff, much like a cock tease,when a sexual partner brings the other to the point of climax but thenbails just before reaching orgasm.
PROMETHEUS Plot holes AND IRRITATIONS ***SPOILERS***
1. The dreams sequence. David can watch Shaw's dreams. Amazingly thistechnology also cuts from scene to scene like a movie camera...Please.No one dreams like that.
2. How did they randomly find the temple so quick? This is an entireplanet surface!
3. Why was the landing so soft and easy?
4. Why does Fifield start screaming at Shaw like that? Calm downmate..jeez..And later on with an Alien cobra he is cool as ice.
5. Why does that moron Buddy Holly scientist try and touch the cobraalien? not once....not twice...but 3 TIMES!!!
6. Why on earth would a scientist remove their helmets in a possiblyinfected temple? I am just a civilian and even I understand the conceptof VIRUS CONTAMINATION ON AN ALIEN FRIGGIN PLANET. They then have thecheek to talk about Shaw's strict quarantine fail-safeprocedures...please
7. What does this Black Goo do exactly? Accelerate worm growth? Infectcrew members? Cause pregnancies? Create life? Pick one and stick to itplease
8. Why does Ford straight away start giving the head electricity forkicks? Do they not have procedures? What is this fun with Frankenstein?
9. Why does the head explode?
10. Why are the medical staff so damn careless with a possibly diseaseridden and bacteria infested decapitated head? I swear they didn't evenwear plastic gloves.
11. How did Shaw know the Jockey was heading to Earth to destroy it?Pretty big assumption from a couple of punches thrown.
12. How does David know the Space Jockey is heading to kill Shaw on theMedical Bay?
13. How does Shaw know her baby will attack the Jockey?
14. i was really amazed that Shaw has this 'baby' but fails to mentionthe horrific and super extraordinary situation she had just beenthrough. ''oh hey guys, ha ha, nearly forgot. FYI, you won't believewhat just happened to me on the way here''....''i just gave birth to analien..'' ''yeah, i know CRAZY right, considering i had sex only 10BLOODY HRS AGO!!''
15. -The whole Vickers' Star Wars 'Father' line...
16. -The 'bet' between the co-pilots was cringe-worthy
17. HUGE ONE
How the hell does Shaw walk after abdominal surgery? Ifabdominal muscle is cut you can NOT walk, the muscle needs to be sewnback
But no, a few staples and she is good to go
18. Why does the tentacle creature have tentacles from the evil PlanetX?
19. Why do the space jockeys allow any old tramp to walk in an usetheir security systems?
20. Why does the space jockey want to kill, kill and kill
You'd thinkan advanced race would be a little civilised?
21. What was the point of Guy Pearce as Weyland? Why was he even there?So he just assumed this temple would contain a fountain oflife
..right
.I guess he 'chose to believe' too
f**k me
Honestly there are so many more I can't even write them all
But thismovie has more plot-holes than the Iraqi Navy
