Prometheus story is really good, they just don´t put it in the movie

You know what.. People don't bring that up enough when discussing promethus. It's an excellent point

I liked Prometheus, and hope we get a 3rd sequel (which would probably end with the original space ship crashing on LV-426, full of David’s eggs)

It is a great movie with some minor character missteps and obviously poor choices made in editing to try and make it more obtuse.
They had an amazing idea here, and began exploring it, but seemed to pull back to increase the "mystery".
A vast majority of the movie works great, but people like to point out the "running from the ship" scene and the map maker getting lost to dismiss the entire production.

So good you'll cut your own dick off
OP i can't watch your video i'm at work, but is it the totally different script with the human stranded by a planetary storm on an engineer world ?
If so yes it's better than the movie Ridley Scott shat.

It's a great movie if you remove the alien connection.

I liked Prometheus until the internet taught me I hate it.

It is oddly unsatisfying either way. Another dull sermon from Damon Lindelof.

Without time travel, how would that ever be possible? The Jockey in Alien was fossilised which implies over a 1000 years at least.

I love this movie but there were so many unanswered questions.

Ridley went on to produce Raised by Wolves, which is basically a second take on the Alien prequels. Hilariously, it was cancelled exactly where Alien Covenant ended.
I know some other dude actually wrote the show but the story is 100% Alien prequels: extended edition. It's a fantastic deep dive into the concepts Ridely loves and never got enough screen time in the movies.

Unpopular take, Alien3 is an amazing movie.
I’ve watched it almost as much as Aliens and more than Alien.

Prometheus absolutely nails the sense of foreboding, there is a very interesting story here and the idea of aliens cultivating humans is deeply fascinating and works well as an alien origin story.
But, for all its feel and vibe, the movie misses too many important things and stumbled over itself. I still like it, but it could and should have been so much more.

It is a shitty movie. The fact they cut out the supposed "good" parts only shows how incompetent the writers are.

Yes they probably could have convinced the engineer to do something good but they just pissed him off

Prometheus - looked very nice, story was utter trash.
The Ridley Scott who crafted Alien would look at Prometheus and shudder.
Scott is yet another director, like Snyder, Waititi, etc, in dire fucking need of some creative oversight.

I like it, better than the shitty alien movies after 1 and 2.

It is a good film, you (everyone who hated it) were just too stupid to understand it.
Fuck anyone who complained it wasn't 'like Alien enough', we ended up with the sequel because of you.

Wish we would've seen more of that engineer world. Also their world looked like a 3rd world shithole country, strange for a species so advanced.
Lore only makes lovecraftian stories worse and defeats the whole point.
A prequel was a bad idea in the first place and they should have kept the Elephantine Space Jockey design. Also would have been more appropriate if they found that there species had been dead for a millenium before finding them only further preventing them from finding any fullfilling answers.

It’s not perfect but I really like it. I liked Covenant too. I can’t think of better modern sci fi. Interstellar? Pfffff

Arrival was better than both of those.

I really liked prometheus despite its flaws. Covenant was the first film I ever said "oh for fucks sake!" loudly in a cinema. Don't even remember what scene as the film itself was an insult to the franchise. Was all over the place. At least the dumb bits in prometheus were fun, covenant were insultinglly bad.

I really like that film too. If they'd allowed the director to make the film he wanted to it could have been even better. Either way, it doesn't deserve the hate it gets.

Titanic was called the Ship of Dreams, and it was. It really was.
They were probably scared of the Christian references.
Sigourney once said she was supposed to be nude in the first Alien. According to her they changed it because of the potencial religious audience. Movie was also made by Ridley Scott, just like Prometheus. It was already R rated, so technically it would have made very little difference at the theater level.

The movie was really good. However, some people really hate it and it's impossible to discuss it with these folks in an intelligent manner.
Alien 3 the Assembly Cut rocks, too.
Top 6 Alien movies:
1. Alien
2. Aliens
3. Alien 3 Assembly Cut
4. Prometheus
5. Alien Covenant (essentially "Prometheus 2")
Bonus: Alien 4 (if you think about it as an Alien comic book adaption)
