    Is there awesome female nudity? Did the albino space cobras make you laugh?

    No.

    No, i though albino space cobras were well done. But special effects on some other monsters seen in the movie (including you know what) were not very convincing, that is one of my minor complaints for this movie.

    On a scale from 1 to 10 how would you rate: Blade Runner, Alien (the first one) and Prometheus?

    Well, i don't like 1 to 10 ratings, but something like this:

    Alien - 10 (for a monster movie, both Prometheus and Blade Runner are smarter sci-fi's)
    Blade Runner - 8
    Prometheus - 7

    I though Prometheus explored human-android relatonships better than Blade Runner, but it cannot match Blade Runner's style and has some stupid and inappropriate scenes and dialogue.

    Blu-Ray release better has 1h more footage or something. Like most Scott's Epics, the Hollywood Jews tend to mutilate cut his work down for some greedy, sinister reasons.

    By gods, adding more shit to this would make it better?

    Please tell me you are trolling. Two hours of this was torture enough.

    I mean, sure. A few more scenes could theoretically make some of the side characters have some actual character, but it hardly will write off all the silly shit they do to advance the plot.

    It was a good movie. Really the movie I was hoping it would be, even though I assumed that Guy Pearce's character would have more scenes. Maybe in the extended version, if there ever is one.

    Well, I liked the movie, but the more I think about it, the less I like it which isn't a good sign. It's not as much as sci-fi horror film as I would have wanted and the science part is really weak. Also, as a prequel to Alien, the ending doesn't work at all*l. Elizabeth Shaw is no Ellen Ripley and while Noomi Rapace does a decent performance, she is no Sigourney Weaver. Also, simply renaming the character to something that doesn't make her native tongue English would have been better. Fassbender channeling the spirit of Peter O'Toole is superb though.

    I also don't really like the music, it sets the wrong tone for most of the time. In general, tone and scope are the biggest problems I'd say.

    Reading between the lines, and it sounds to me like a movie I don't even want to see to see how bad it is.

    Thanks codex.

    Can someone write in between spoiler tags the whole plot of the movie? I won't be seeing it in the cinema, and it'll take a while until a blu-ray release gets out, and I'm really curious to know its plot.

    The movie was shit. No tension at all. Derp all over the place. It failed, both as action Alien-like movie and as a phisolophical-rich drama about life's origin etc. God I am so pissed, because I was waiting for this movie so much! I went to the theater with my mind set not to expect too much, but just enjoy it as you can enjoy any blockbuster. And I couldn't even have that... What a decline.

    Hamster: Prometheus was a smarter sci-fi to you? Hahaha! You are in serious need of watching some proper smart sci-fi then. And science aspect in this shitty movie? - there is more science in CSI: Miami than in this POS (which speaks volumes).
