Did anyone else think Prometheus is a beautiful film? If you think about what's happening it breaks down but visually it is incredibleI've never actually seen Alien but somehow this was in my youtube recommendations and it is stunning, like what Kubrick was trying to do with 2001. Just makes me wonder if Ridley Scott is some sort of visual genius being held back by terrible writinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0k5eziWR7Gc
>>222357478you should've waited to make this thread until you saw alien vro
>>222357478Yeah visually it's fantastic.>I've never actually seen AlienHow the fuck is this possible?
>>222357478>If you think about what's happening it breaks downRetard meme.
>>222357782Because it is "horror". I have no interest in the genre. If I knew it was more sci fi than horror I would have watched it.
>>222357478No. It's awful because the entire narrative relies on very intelligent people all acting like retards and it butchers the Alien lore
>>222357905>very intelligent people all acting like retardsHello, midwit.
>>222357897did you also skip jurassic park because it has horrifying monsters hunting people?
>>222357478I hated how David wiped the world and became responsible as the architect as the Aliens. I find that retarded.
.
>>222357982No but I skip films like saw because it involves sadistic torture
>>222357947He doesn't fucking love rocks.
>>222357478>If you think about what's happening it breaks downHow so? Explain what part of the writing doesn't make sense.
>>222358005i don't like slasher films or torture porn either, but if you straight up "don't like horror" you're missing out on many great films.
>>222357478the plot is a fucking mess. the abortion scene is pretty funny though.
>>222357478saw this in a true imax theater in 3-d and it was incredible. i’ll always have a fondness for it because of that.
>>222358572I saw Beowulf in 3-d and I just got a headache.
They should have never pretended it was connected to Alien and just let it be its own series like it obviously was meant to be
>>222358058>the plot is a fucking messwhat is a mess about the plot? let me guess, you need to have subway surfers running on your phone and 5 other screens while watching a movie?
>>222358033>but if you straight up "don't like horror" you're missing out on many great films.certainly nothing that is actually talked about in the /hor/ threads here.i'm assuming you mean actual films like The Cabin In The Woods.
>>222358687it’s the on film i’ve seen in 3-d and it was pretty damn cool. the star map especially.
>>222359777general threads are gay and they should all move to discordThe Thing, The Shining, Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), Deliverance, Alien? Any of those?
>>222357897you are retarded. just get off this board. dumbass.
>>222359857>The Thingthe one with kurt russel is kino.>The Shiningit's ok, people jerk this off way too hard, i'm sure it was really special when it came out in 1970s but in the context of all movies ever, it's forgettable as any other.>Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)remake with Biel is better>Deliverancewould this even be horror? haven't watched it, no real plans to.>Alienthis film was just a special effects demo. there's nothing actually good about the characters or story.
>>222359941Consider hanging yourself
>>222359995what do you disagree with?
>>222359941>Alien>this film was just a special effects demoI'm watching Alien now and it is like he doesn't quite understand people. Everything that's not people is really well done and everything that's people is a bit sub-par.Like if everything were just a ship moving in space it would be awesome but then he has to make a film out of people and he shrugs his shoulders and does his best, which isn't any good.
>>222357478Was the cinematography and FX's good? Of course they were. Did it redeem the film in any way or make it stand out from the other Alien films? No.>I've never actually seen Alien but somehow this was in my youtube recommendations and it is stunning, like what Kubrick was trying to do with 2001. Just makes me wonder if Ridley Scott is some sort of visual genius being held back by terrible writingYou should have started with the original Alien anon. Fuck Prometheus.
>>222360195>You should have started with the original Alien anon. Fuck Prometheus.shit taste. Prometheus mogs Alien&Aliens
>>222360402Aliena and Aliens kicked off the series though anon? They are the staple of the franchise that most directors and filmmakers baser the series off of.Not Prometheus. lol. Get of your high horse bro.
>>222360495who cares? robocop 1 was fuckin slop, robocop 2 was good. that doesn't make robocop 1 better in any way it was still slop.
>>222357478The fact it is so fucking stupid the visuals can't save it is impressive.
>>222357905> very intelligent people never do any stupid in hindsight due to ego and zeal. > the prometheus crew are made up of fairly zealot scientists who are looking for something like origin/purpose of humanity as well
yeah it's kinokeep in mind the people who hate it are retarded gen x fans of stupid 80s action slop like Aliens. they want every alien movie to be about squashing bugs
if only they made it more coherent
>>222357905>butchers the Alien loreYour one of those retards who still doesn't understand that the black goo is actually *older* than the Engineers, aren't you? They didn't create it and they didn't create the xenomorphs. The black goo is primordial.
