Quite hard to put any faith on any sci-fi movie going on on modern days.
Specially things that borrow from past success.
I´d wish Firefly would get continued...
I hope to be wrong, but I can´t bother.
Jam Factory? In South Yarra?
By the way, what do you mean by "modern days", anyway?
NOTHING is better than Aliens!just watched this, well worth seeing!

I agree - Prometheus wasn't great. Never believe the hypeJust saw Prometheus tonight, it was good but not great . Id say 6.5/10
Prometheus was a beautiful looking and ambitious film, yet it was horribly written and edited disappointment - I wanted to love this movie. I don't understand how the product I saw on the screen was the final cut.
For starters, it had one of the worse screenplays I've watched in a long time and they really dropped the ball with most of the story arcs it built up, dropping almost every single one. Lindelof seems to have totally misunderstood everything about Alien/s. His whole shtick is questions are better than answers, being vague allows each of us to have a different and unique experience like looking at a painting of abstract art. BAH regardless, creators of artistic material should aim to reach for something more than meh which this film was. I hate him.
If you ignore the flimsy characters, plot holes and heavy handed symbolism, you get a pretty thrilling sci fi horror though. Are there too many writers in the mix with modern movies? Multi million dollar projects seem to literally be losing the plot. Also, like tree of life it seemed like it was trying to encompass everything, yet wound up as a compilation of confusing rough cuts. It also has the plot of alien VS predator which is a film that I pretend doesn't exist most of the time. Uninspired, misdirected or confused by the writers. So many moments of excitement though. HR Giger art coming to life was cool. New monsters were cool even though they seem to have done it just because it was expected. Also the message of "everything is alien and we have to get as far away from it because it will KILL YOU ALL" was so clumsily narrated.
The beginning/middle and end was horrible sludge. The squid baby was painful (in many ways) to watch and could have been one of those scenes which people talk about forever but the punchline fell flat. Why didn't anybody notice her injuries nor the squid baby in the next room? What happened to the people in the hazmat suits from the previous scene? Blown up?, but she didn't knock them out.. they just were never seen again. If there were other ships, why was there only one engineer left? and why did he chase down the last human when he could have just gotten on another ship (yes, he didn't expect the squid baby) but that's just stupid.
The religous theme was unneccesary, underdeveloped. Aliens spawning all life on the planet using their DNA... somebody doesn't understand science, Evolution doesn't work that way... Chariot of the gods boring crud "AVP all over again". There were a more than a few idiotic parts to the plot. There were humans, engineers, worms, dicksnakes, zombie humans, squid babies, soft skinned xenomorph.... too many fucking different/unexplained aliens.
It was unsatisfying as a stand-alone film, they knew they needed to keep some kind of connection to Alien, but they didn't bother to make it fit in perfectly with continuity.
I think this movie needed one of those “Parental Advisory” stickers with the warning “This was designed by committee”. I'm hoping somebody can convince me it wasn't as bad as I thought.
In my opinion its a great film and does a good job of pluging some holes, the alien at the end is not a normal alien but a queen, who do U think lays all the eggs that are in the alien film?
