Prometheus - Part 6

[Boom]

Not really happy about that ending, to be completely honest.

Spoiler

Way too predictable and baity.

Assuming it's genuine, of course. A few things don't sound right to me.

 

[DirtyHarry]

Just saw the preview on ESPN, this looks pretty awesome

 

[Roose Bolton]

That first part [blackout] with the Engineer sacrificing himself to create life[/blackout] has been confirmed as 100% accurate.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

No sir, I refuse to look at those spoilers.

 

[Matt Mortem]

I looked. Didn't actually tell em anything I hadn't already figured out from the trailer and TV spots and set reports I've read. Sounds good though, looking forward to seeing it all happen.

The negative reviews are coming out of France... why are people concerned? I think the suprise should be that the cheese eating surrender monkeys actually gave positive reviews for the film... and this is coming from someone who is of french blood!

I've got some distant French blood and I think they just have different sensibilities when it comes to movies, espcially American movies.

Then again, despite some pretentiousness, many of the French funded/produced Eurocorp movies are mostly over the top crap that it rivals even the dumbest American films. Plus it's tainting Luc Besson's once good name.

They can be good sometimes..like Taken, but they always have questionable broad comedy that it boggles my mind!

Huge Spoilers about the movie.

Spoiler

Prometheus begins on Earth. The Engineers arrive on the planet in the beginning of times. One of them drinks a black liquid that reduces him to DNA. He dissolves into water and creates the first cell, which initiates the evolutionary process of the human race.

In 2085, Dr. Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and Dr. Charlie Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green) find evidence that life on Earth was created by alien "Gods", and an identical pictogram in the ruins of countless ancient civilizations, that form a star map to the Engineers' homeworld, Paradise. The Weyland Corporation, represented by Meredith Vickers (Charlize Theron), decides to reunite a crew to travel to Paradise on the spaceship Prometheus and investigate. It includes Shaw, Holloway, Vickers, Captain Janek (Idris Elba), botanist Milburn (Rafe Spall), geologist Fifield (Sean Harris), Ford (Kate Dickie), Chance (Emun Elliot), Ravel (Benedict Wong) and a few others. An elderly Peter Weyland (Guy Pearce), Vickers' father and David's creator, secretly boards the ship, intenting to use the Engineers' technology to prevent his death and become immortal.

Five years later, Prometheus arrives on Paradise. The team leaves to explore the planet and finds an ancient temple. Fifield sends a series of probes to scan the place. David finds carvings on the walls that he is able to translate and uses them to acess the holographic database of the Engineers, using the knowledge he acquired to enter the room where he steals a vial containing the black liquid. Meanwhile, Shaw, Holloway and Ford find the last Engineer, who dies after a brief chase. He is beheaded by a door, and Shaw collects the head for further studies. just as Janek, who is in Prometheus, calls in to inform them that a storm is coming. Fifield and Milburn stay back while the others return to Prometheus. Janek informs Fifield and Milburn he'll send a rescue team by the morning.

David meets with Weyland, who orders him to infect Holloway with the black liquid. David does, and Holloway later learns that Shaw is infertile and they have sex. Meanwhile, Milburn and Fifield find countless dead Engineers and Fifield's probes direct them to the throne room, which is airtight. When they enter it, the atmosphere causes the urns containing black liquid to spill. A worm that had attached itself to Milburn's boot is exposed to the black liquid and mutates into the Hammerpede, that kills Milburn and infects Fifield.

The following day, the rescue team, which includes Shaw, Holloway, Ford, Chance and Ravel, arrives at the temple and finds Milburn dead and Fifield gone. Holloway's infection begins to affect him, and they decide to take him back to Prometheus, but Vickers refuses to allow him to come in. Holloway accepts his fate and asks Vickers to torch him with a flamethrower, which she does. Janek is infuriated by the turn of events.

That night, Janek notices that Fifield's helmet camera is on and recording Prometheus from the outside. Ravel goes to check the perimeter and is attacked by the mutated Fifield, who enters the ship and attacks the crew before being killed. Meanwhile, David learns that Shaw is infected and removes a Proto-Xenomorph from her, with orders from Weyland to freeze it and bring it back to Earth for further studies.

Shaw escapes after the Proto-Xenomorph is removed from her and learns of Weyland's presence. Shaw, Ford, David, Chance and Weyland return to the temple and find a ship called "The Juggernaut", which was armed with biological weapons that the Space Jockey, a pilot, intented to use to exterminate the human race before an accident with one of the Engineers' weapons of mass destruction damaged it and killed the Engineers. David awakens the Space Jockey and Weyland tries to beg for a cure. When Shaw tries to press for answers to why they intented to exterminate the human race, Weyland orders Chance to silence Shaw. This infuriates the Space Jockey, who believes humans were ultimately a failed experiment. He removes David's head, kills Weyland and Chance, and chases Shaw just as they're attacked by the Proto-Xenomorph, that kills the Engineer.

Shaw and David escape in another ship. David offers to coordinate Shaw back to Earth, but she refuses, claiming she needs to know the answers, and they decide to go the other way. Vickers is crushed by the Juggernaut's debris after Janek crashes the Prometheus against it to prevent it from taking off towards Earth. The Engineer, who had been impregnated by the Proto-Xenomorph during their fight, consulves as a Xenomorph bursts through his chest.

Hmn, don't know what to think about it. Sounds a bit like a standard story. I had expected more from the story.

 

[Roose Bolton]

I'm still wondering who Patrick Wilson's playing....

 

[Boom]

He plays:

Spoiler

Shaw's father.

 

[Roose Bolton]

That'll be interesting, certainly would provide Shaw with some more development.

 

[The Englishman]

Is this film only going to be shown in 3D? I've just been looking at my local cinema listings and it only shows the 3D version...

 

[Nolan-TDKR]

Great way to ruined the movie for others by posting the whole plot before the movie is even released.

I strongly suggest not to read the spoilers!

When someone posts hidden text with the warning of huge Spoilers, it's generally assumed it'll further detail the movie at hand. No one is forcing you to click "Show" button.

Someone is going to click on the “show” button and afterwards regret it. why even post it in the first place? except for showing off?

 

[Roose Bolton]

Lay off him he put it in spoilers, it's not his fault you clicked it

 

[Nolan-TDKR]

I have already seen the movie, so

 

[QBComics]

I have already seen the movie, so

How is it?

 

[MrWayne]

I'm just glossing over this thread.. not clicking on ANYTHING!!! Lol

 

[Brem]

I don't know which cinema you were looking at, but fortunately the Odeon has put 2D listings up today.

I was getting annoyed last week because there was no listing. Apparently now they only put them up a couple of days before the release.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Looks like I'll be waiting for Blu Ray.

 

[Eggyman]

Me and the missus are taking my mum. She's never seen IMAX or 3D (only in reali life heh), and I feel evil because I'm so excited to see my mum scared sh**less. If it does that, it's money well spent. When I get back here, Friday night, I'll review it and I'll score it with a mum sh**ometer.

Seriously, I'll get a review up soon as. I'm not even a little bit French.

 

[redhawk23]

Very Intresting stuff here

Spoiler

We will see the birth of the Alien In film.If the Prometheus crashes Into the juggernaut I guess that means the ship from Alien Is not In Prometheus.David and Shaw are about only characters that could return In a sequel

I have been waiting before deciding If I see this In theatres exactly how this
Is connected to Alien.

It seems like In Alien films now

Spoiler

The company trying to get ahold of the Alien species

will get more dimension added after seeing Prometheus

 

[DoomsdayApex]

I had a Lovecraftian dream last night featuring the Xenomorphs and the Precusors (I'm assuming). It got pretty gory, and I got traumatized more than once. Yet, for some reason, the director and writer turned my dream into a generic Quarantine/Slasher one. I must have ran like 25 miles overall, fallen or tripped 1000x, and killed an entire horde of those bastards.

Waiting for part two tonight.

I'm to blame because of someone else's lack of self-control?
