Damn. I told myself not to check the thread but curiosity got the better of me. I had a lot more responses planned, but it isn't worth getting into it. I will say however...
Sorry, it's a mess, one day you will watch a movie that was put together with competence and you will be blown away.
Ah, insults... Thank you for proving my point.
(... and I believe this conversation actually started with people stating the thread was crazy for not liking the movie... huh!)
Assuming you are talking about me going by the sequence of responses, that isn't true. If you want to believe that, by all means! You aren't going to find anything though.
Why get your hackles up about bad reviews of a film? What's it to you? You think people are "desperately trying to spread" the idea the film's a mess? Has someone here been handing out flyers? Buying TV time?
Most people in the thread agree with the second half of your post on the look of the film. But they're all trying to spread misinformation, so you're in on it too!!
Uh, what? Who quoted me and got all worked about it? You. Look, I am not actively trying to prove their opinion wrong. I don't care, but I will say that I disagree. I simply wanted to state that after seeing the film that while I don't think its perfect, it isn't "nearly" the mess people are trying to tell everyone it is, like B_Rik. Really? Flyers and TV time? Come on... I disagree with people about the film, but I'm not insulting anyone. We move on. If you don't like the film, so be it. Doesn't affect my life. I'd sure like to see a sequel though!
By the way, I called the thread ridiculous because this thread is all over the place. It was a jestful comment (albeit I could've been more clear), but you don't need to get worked up about it. I don't see much difference than going into a thread that has been hijacked by a photoshop spree and posting that same comment, and then participating in it.
And yes, the film does look phenomenal. I wish more films has the aesthetic look of this film, because though it was very sci-fi, it felt really natural. Ridley Scott knows how to make good looking films. I'd like to know what camera he and the DP used for the movie because it has such a clean image. By the way, the opening sequence... amazing.
As for the idea about ambition and tropes, I personally think Prometheus looks to talk more about faith than god, life, death and creation... I think a lot of the film revolves around faith in an idea and what extremes people are willing to go to for them. Starting right from the beginning of the film in the creation life, Weyland building a trillion dollar space ship built to send people to a planet based on some hieroglyphics a few people found, the lack of "faith" in the science team from Vickers, the pilots and the captain going all the way in sacrificing themselves to end a potential threat to Earth, all the way to the end where Shaw takes off to find out where the origin of the origin comes from. I am missing a few, but I found a lot of it the film revolves more around faith than anything else.
Makes me appreciate good writing in films.
