It was a fricking moronic script. All the crew were fricking awful at their jobs. If you charter a ship to this planet surely you vet your crew? They broke protocol at every given opportunity.
The mission was done under the table in a rush, they had to get the kind of scientists willing to go on a dangerous mission for money without having a clue what they were doing, aka, hacks. Furthermore, the mission was led by an unstable woman who wanted it to fail. I agree they pushed it a bit far, but they were supposed to be rejects.
>The mission was done under the table in a rush,
unlimited money and resources to get whatever you wanted. have you ever heard of cheap, fast or good, choose two? The mission cost a trillionaire dollars so it wasn't fricking cheap. They would have got only the best. >kind of scientists willing to go on a dangerous mission for money without having a clue what they were doing
Scientists will do anything for grant money. Being sent on a mission to discover a new alien species is like a fricking dream job. > the mission was led by an unstable woman who wanted it to fail
The few interactions she had with her father was to desperately please him and get noticed. How does that correlate into her wanting it to fail?

The mission was to find technology to extend his life. She wanted him dead so she could take over the company. Ergo, she wanted the mission to fail. This was all literally spelled out for you.

sent on a mission to discover a new alien species is like a fricking dream job.
The main two were hired specifically because they kept finding maps of alien worlds. The zoologist would have to assume he's being hired because he would have to deal with some kind of life form. The mapping guy invented his own tech to map out new areas so he was far from incompetent (even though he got fricking lost for some fricking reason).

The main two weren't hired, they initiated it, so your argument of unlimited resources is meaningless for them. Yet again, your lack of basic comprehension is astounding. The biologist had no idea why he was hired, this was literally stated out loud. Here I again question whether you even watched the movie. The mapping guy might've invented that, but tell me how a random programmer would perform if sent to an alien world and told to explore an alien ruin.

They didn't initiate the fricking mission. Weyland saw interest in their work because he wanted to meet his creators and hired them, The main two didn't have the funds to initiate shit. >The biologist had no idea why he was hired, this was literally stated out loud.
Durr, I'm an expert in biology and animals I wonder why I'm being hired to go on a space expedition. >The mapping guy might've invented that, but tell me how a random programmer would perform if sent to an alien world and told to explore an alien ruin.
Hire an explorer and wonder if they would want to explore shit.
Are you fricking moronic?

No, it's not. None of that's in the movie. And didn't need her to come along or him to remain hidden.

a trillion $ when this film is set is probably like a few billion today. it wasn't some experimental ship or anything groundbreaking technology wise, space travel is obviously a well established thing already in that universe.
It's just hard cope because they want it to be good, and can't accept that it's not. Even their headcanon excuses would make it a dogshit movie and uninteresting.
fpbp
its the best movie in the whole franchise
1 and 2 are good but theyre just boring slashers in comparison, at least the plot in prometheus is interesting >but the characters act dumb
true but they do that in the other movies as well so whats your point? I didnt claim it was perfect just better than the others.
I was enjoying the movie but then the crew was shown to be incredibly moronic, and inconsistently so. The biology guy was incredibly scared at like the remains of skeletons or whatever it was... but then sees a LIVE fricking alien squid thingy and goes up to fricking pet it like its a kitten? Then obviously fricking dies. So fricking moronic
It's because the movie was spliced from half a dozen scripts made by a dozen scriptwriters. Shit editing as a cherry on top. For instance some of the crew just disappears from the script never to be mentioned again.
>seems really cool from what I've seen and heard.
All you hear are terrible and negative things. That makes it seem cool to you? Are you fricking moronic?
No, you were just filtered like many other morons.

really? Have countless money and resources and you hire the worst in their fields.
That makes no fricking sense and seems like a lot of cope.
I listed three reasons why, moron, maybe address those before sperging out.

it's not a prequel
it was never meant to be part of alien universe
reminder mike stoklasa said linedlof is a good writer
can't imagine it being any worse than the ace ventura or dumb and dumber prequels
Star Wars prequels are worse
that would be Covenant
The worst prequel ever made is Attack of the Clones.

It didn't have midi-chlorians, so no.
I've never watched this but it seems really cool from what I've seen and heard.

im giving it a 10/10
The Thing 2011
Fricked by the production company.
Given the production company makes the movie, yeah, no shit.
Absolutely not.
You have my axe.
