Full of religious undertones about God and man
Extreme symbology and editing to bleed the story in your mind, you put the pieces together slowly like a giant jigsaw
More existential symbology and long monologs about the perfection of creation, aka David

Fans mad for lack of Aliens

Rawr Aliens and shit!!!
Harry Osbourne and Kenny Fricking Powers, baby! There goes 50 million dollars right there
Visable pokeys at the end scene
Fans mad for too much Aliens
Prometheus aged like wine that had been left uncorked. It turned to vinegar but vinegar is delicious
Try again.
>Fans mad for lack of Aliens
That was entirely HIS fault for connecting it to Alien for literally no reason except to funnel eyeballs to his completely unrelated android movie he wanted to make. While at the same time diminishing everything that was good about Alien and replacing it with nonsense.
Yeah I hate Prometheus because it made the origin story so gay and lame. Hurr bald dude in a suit with genetic goo. I just choose to ignore it
both of them felt like 2 different movies
Fans seethed at the uber pretentious Promethesis so Ridley gave in and gave them a full on action Aliens movie with Covenant, but fans still seethed. So where do we go now?
Would you mind telling me what this scene is symbolic of, or what its deeper meaning is?
Thinking about trannies too much may cause brain explosions
>Prometheus is like so deep man, human and gods'n stuff!
Just because a movie includes contrived and haphazard allusions to a deeper meaning, ie "muh undertones/symbolism/monologues", which actually won't amount to anything other than some reddit essays by aspiring hack directors, it doesn't automatically mean its a good or interesting film anymore than throwing random swipes of paint at a wall makes for a proper painting.
But then again Scott hasn't made a semi-decent film since Legend yet audiences and critics continue to eat up his slop time after time so can't fault the man for making easy money.
Prometheus was shit because it the usual Abrams/Lindelof Mystery Box con job. A bunch of ideas and scenes thrown together that don't add up to anything. The lack of aliens wasn't the problem, the story was.
this
it's typical nu-Riddley Scott schlock
it's basically paradise lost for lazy "trad" atheists, and its depiction of any themes relating to religion or spirituality are purely aesthetic to pull the pseudo-pseud crowd in, ie morons who like pointing out metaphors with no deeper cognitive functioning than capeshitters
Having read Paradise Lost and Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Prometheus comes off as shallow and contrived.
What was Ridley Scott thinking doing a prequel to Alien with space men that look like marble statues?
It's the sort of film only a millenial/zoomer npc could enjoy.
>why would scott do this?
>NPC's could enjoy it
you already answered your own question
>Fans mad for lack of Aliens
No one forced Ridley into linking his Covenant film with Alien.
Covenant was great right up until David showed up. Shaw should've shown up instead. Then they could've focused on exploring the Engineer city and battling against David's creations. Movie then ends the same BUT most of the boring parts are cut and it feels like a proper Prometheus sequel.
I for one really like David and wish Prometheus had no connection to Alien. Just a nice sci-fi trilogy about a dickhead android playing god and cosplaying as Lawrence of Arabia while pleasantly monologing to himself in the mirror.
at the end of Covenant when David can't remember what she told him and he just smiles and she panics as he puts her into hypersleep, then it shows the human embryos he's going to impregnate with xeno eggs... kino.....
For me it was David and Walter conversations.
>Covenant was great right up until David showed up
nop
Covenant is good, Prometheus is mid
>God is... LE GOOD: The Movie
I don't understand how you got that from Covenant.
That's because you are a moron.
The scene where everyone dies and the ship blows up is some of the best slapstick comedy in years
David's haunted castle is great
Frick you
this
we will never get a part 3 with David experimenting on a colony ship
you got old.

Years later and I'm still mad about my time and money wasted

Lmao. Anyways, are the AvP movies any good?
they're good, AvP2 had an issue with being wayyy too fricking dark, partly because the directors said to get their R rating they had to keep it dark enough not to show too much gore, I swear if that movie wasn't so fricking dark it would have been great. you can't see what's going on half the time.
Thanks anon, gonna check them out.
No. But the games are good.
>are the AvP movies any good
no. the first is blah and requiem is awful
2 was great because of the true Murica ending, nuking the fricking town into oblivion. But yeah the movie is mostly filler shit between the AvP fight scenes, you don't give a shit what happens to any of the main characters
The second one was awesome because of the overwhelmed small town trope made it comfy and relatable. The only predator movie where the predator isn't a jobber and actually gets shit done as well. Bonus points for accidently frisbee'ing one of the annoying characters. I didn't mind it being dark because the town was in a blackout and my eyes aren't shit.
Ugly reused Resurrection alien designs, first one is too bright in a dumb ice pyramid and second one is just garbage

Weird how it’s a chronological drop in quality. I really hope and expect the upcoming Fede Alvarez Alien movie bucks the trend.
Prometheus > Covenant > Alien > Alien 3 > Aliens > Alien 4
I would put Aliens over Alien 3 but otherwise I agree
>Prometheus > Covenant > Alien
Why did she burn down the hive? Didn't Queenie give her a free pass to leave?
Yes I am down 2 GAY
Personally i would not trust a giant monster
creating a diversion to escape was more reasonable
Because one of the eggs opened as they were about to leave. Also, it's cathartic
Alien>Prometheus>Aliens>Resurrection>Covenant>3
This list is so fricked up that I can't even accept it backwards
>Fede Alvarez
Yikes.
>Neill Blomkamp
Yikes again.
Bloom had a great concept and could of at least taken a fresh stab at it, unlike Ridley who bows to Fox and every demand they make.
Blomkamp is boring. He's the same as Edwards.
I mean, I wouldn't even really care if he made some Aliens sequel but I'd rather see more of Ridley's stuff, so if it becomes an either or the choice is clear.
>4
is by far the worst
There is a four?
Covenant is worse than 4 IMHO, at least the cast of 4 were somewhat likeable. I fricking hated everyone in Covenant.
They did such a bad job with the casting and writing for the characters that it's impressive. Still laughing at how ridiculous it was to get James Franco for the movie and kill him off screen. Danny McBride wasn't much better and very distracting
Just a trait of the Prometheverse
Shaw and Daniels are just deeply stupid, boring characters
Ridley is out of his fricking mind. A Good Year should have been his last movie
I wish he just let that District 9 director have a go
he was never good. alien coasted on giger's aesthetics
>The Duellists

You're delusional.

Yes and I'm kind of sick getting called "moron" by actually dumb people. Show some respect, toilet licker.
>pseud thinks hes smart because he looked at a tv real good
embarrassing
He can't write but he's still a great director. The Last Duel was beautifully shot. House of Gucci, too. The guy's an amazing talent, he just chooses/writes bizarre projects.
He's got 27 movies and only a handful are good.

>White Squall (terrible last 5 minutes)

Everything else is mid-city. I've seen them all. Actually 1492 was terrible.
Hang on, what about Gladiator and American Gangster?
Gladiator has the dubious distinction of being one of the most factually and spiritually a-historical films about ancient Rome, in addition to being mediocre at best in every other category.
It become popular with normies because it was the first major production featuring ancient Rome on the big screen in decades and it was hailed as a masterpiece by critics due to the blatant left-liberal propaganda inherent in its plot and themes.
Why was James Franco in this for 2 seconds?
He was in the trailers and that was a big selling point. It cost them around 22 million buckaroos for a 30 second cameo
That annoying doctor spraying and praying the rifle around explosives, real good stuff, I cringed hard
Still seething to this day how Prometheus had potential that went to waste due to Ridley's trash writing, direction and Alien nonsense. Don't even get me started on Covenant with the sliding in blood comedy bit played straight and that annoying fatass comedian in a serious role. Disgusting
Looking back, was there any real reason to explain where the aliens come from? Can we not just have mysteries in our movies anymore?
>Ridley's trash writing
>t. doesn't know shit
Anyone else bothered that the technology and aesthetics of Prometheus and Covenant didn't match the depictions in Alien(s)?
Still a lot better than Prometheus
Not sure what went wrong with that one but it was so bad it killed its own intended trilogy
Alien = Aliens > Alien 3 > Covenant > Alien Resurrection >>> Prometheus

the characters in prometheus and covenant are absolute idiots
absolute idiots
In Prometheus? It almost seems like it. Shaw was a gormless religious nut, her husband was a virtual non-presence, the captain was an idiot, Charlize Theron acted like a b***h, Weyland looked awful and had a moronic plan, and all the other scientists had inconsistent personalities and died like flies
McBride wasn't distracting unless you kept waiting for him to act like another character. He actually handled his character pretty well and was surprisingly one of the better choices.
I was really expecting Paradise to be even more "pretentious" and philosophical than Prometheus. Shaw and David going to the Engineers' home planet and finding some Solaris tier shit. I'd like to see what direction they planned on going before deciding to do a basic slasher movie with monsters killing a blue collar crew. Why did Rapace quit? That stupid b***h robbed us of deep sci fi existential kino
>Why did Rapace quit?
she didnt that homosexual ridley cutted her out
Yeah the ending of Prometheus hinted at something far more interesting than what we got
>predator 2018 above AVP
kys
Imagine thinking AVP has anything even remotely redeemable about it
AVP at least had a few decent Alien vs Predator fights that weren't complete cg-slop and looked somewhat organic, its not much ofc but still more than what can be said for AVP:R
>muttslop above the original
That was enough for me to not even look at the rest.
tbh the David character is more interesting than Ripley, and it's sad we'll never see him again but maybe that's for the best.
I have a feeling that the next one will try and wrap things up though, without including David.

You're far less educated than you think you are.
Alien resurrection is the best alien movie and I'll die on this hill.
The only reason Cinemaphile gets these "senile Ridley lololol" shitposts every day is because Disney proved that George Lucas and the prequels were good all along and now op is mad coping and trying to find a new target.
what
this movie was ass, not even Danny McBride could save it and the bizarre flute playing scene filled to the brim with sexual tension between Michael Fassbender and Michael Fassbender had people actually laughing in the theater
