Fast forward to the present:
Prometheus
I’ve watched it at least 8 times this week.
OH!
One of my favorite subjects concerning bad movies. I must confess that I have watched it more times than I like to admit.
Yes, yes... It was stunningly beautiful yet hideously inconsistant and downright irrational.
So, why did the Engineers leave a map on Earth to their weapons depot?
As a scientist she WANTS to believe the Engineers created humans without any evidence!!
Man I hope finding alien civilizations will be this easy. Got to a planet and turn left.
This team of "scientists" is 5 minutes into the exploration of a totally unknown alien structure and they take their helmets off!!
No one tries to keep the silly android from randomly pushing buttons and opening doors when the team are wearing no helmets.
How conviennent that the only alien recordings are those that relate directly to specific plot points.
And for a species with such technological abilities, their recordings really suck.
Weyland's daughter (no surprise there) states that the ship has come half a billion miles to this alien world. That is just about the orbit of jupiter, not another star system.
So the two redshirts go wandering off but no one notices that they don't take a vehicle back to the ship.
The android casually hauls one of the weapon pods back to the ship and stores it in the fridge but no one notices or cares?
After the annoying scientist is infected, does he tell anyone even after seeing "things" swimming around in his eyes?
And after he gets torched, what do they do with his body? Leave it outside? Next thing we known he is hunched down by the cargo door and starts killing people.
The engineer head gets sterilized and they decide to dissect it in open air. Then the alien infection starts growing but they leave it in open air, then the 2000 year dead engineer head suddenly has the ability to twitch and move, THEN they decide to isolate the head. Right before it explodes.
WHy is the auto medical pod only calibrated for males when they are numerous females on board?
As an exobiologist the first thing I am going to do when discovering an unknown alien species is try to play with it.
When the alien craft is knocked out of the sky by the Prometheus, falls back to the ground and starts to roll why do the characters run in a straight line from directly in the path?? The doc slips and falls but has only to roll twice to be safe.
I could go on and on....
ANyway..
Next!!
