Cool design and look plus David kino
I just find it weird. It’s not a superhero movie and I don’t really think it’s like a special original movie with memeable stuff like say blade runner 2049. It’s similar to all those science horror space movies. And It flopped when it came out
It’s not even that popular and most people didn’t like it because they didn’t explain how the alien was actually but how a decon was created
>a special original movie with memeable stuff like say blade runner 2049
Cringe
> And It flopped when it came out
No it didn’t
this, it only killed its own intended trilogy
financially it was still a moderate success
>Also all the “scientists” seem stupid as hell taking off their helmets and not wearing masks
there is no reason for an astronaut to take off their helmet in space or a surgeon/dentist to take off their mask when operating. That is basic sterile practice
The computer said the air was breathable lil bro
Breathable doesn't mean there isn't any radiation and there aren't deadly alien pathogens in the air.
I’m sure it accounts for that as well, the technology was very advanced you should be asking why they didn’t wear space suits in the sequel initially because that planet didn’t seem like a dead world
How would a computer account for completely unknown alien things that no one could have ever programmed it to detect?
It would say unknown pathogen detected these people traveled millions of miles in space that is completely unfathomable currently
>you should be asking why they didn’t wear space suits in the sequel initially because that planet didn’t seem like a dead world
because the had biometric data and it was basically like earth
yeah well the computer said its okay so im doing it. im a scientist, i trust the science. with my life.

>Mean IQ has plummeted to 70 due to stupid people reproducing more
>As a consequence practically all of humanity are anti-maskers
>Every single xenomorph outbreak happens because people just refuse to wear facehugger protective masks
Facehuggers are a israeli psyop
Nostromo 2122 was an inside job
>there is an unknown weird and dangerous looking creature
>let's *smokes joint* pet it
They're like reddit's idea of a scientist.
I liked it. It's frustrating how shitty the screenplay is, but it still looks beautiful and has unique atmosphere.
The same is true for Covenant, but that one was somewhat even dumber.
Jesus was an alien creation
>Also all the “scientists” seem stupid as hell
reddit was ferrous over this but the reality is scientists are fricking stupid and do stupid shit like pick up aliens and play with them
it's the same hubris that created the kung flue
A real scientist would have complained that it's cold and his feet hurt and go back to the ship immediately.
all's I'm saying is someone had to taste the deadly night shade plant to know its poisonous and who better than scientists
It's a copycat of AvP, but AvP is a much better movie.
>continue to stay popular
it didn't, it killed its own intended trilogy with how bad it was
both were clunky rehashes of the previous films but with interesting additions
I particularly liked David plotline and the atmosphere from covenant
and it sucks we will never get a sequel with David going ham on a colony ship
unfortunately they had interesting ideas trapped in the carcasses of even worse ideas wrapped in a bad script with studio meddling on top
rewatching Prometheus brings home how dumb it really was. David was pretty much the only good thing about it.
Nobody in the movie actually got sick or died as a result of that, though. So they weren’t wrong.
>Also all the “scientists” seem stupid as hell taking off their helmets and not wearing masks
This is a thing in every sci-fi ever. Nobody complains that characters in Star Trek don't wear helmets when entering a new planet.
Star Trek crews visit new planets with alien life every day.
They got all kinds of magic technology to deal with it.
In Prometheus alien life was supposed to be a brand new discovery.
Fassbender and Noomi made it watchable tbf
It was a cool action space adventure
