Well that's just the way it is today. Aside from the Transformers movies most big budget Hollywood flicks seem to have really shoddy CGI in places.

It's frustrating that many things could have been improved about this movie, though at the same time there are still plenty of impressive moments and nice little ideas. Flawed certainly, but better than Sunshine - which had the same oriental fella in it.

I thought this was almost a complete stinker. Fassbender is exceptional, but the plot is awful. The characters act irrationally, and there are too many of them to begin with. The premise really is exactly the same as AvP, and the end reminded me more of Alien: Resurrection than anything else. Ridley Scott seems to have completely forgotten what made the first film scary, because this movie is big, loud and overly complicated. It has none of the elegance or grace of Alien, and the villain(s) are ridiculous.

I knew this movie wouldn't be as good as Alien, but I'm very disappointed in how badly it turned out. Somebody stop Ridley before he ruins Blade Runner as well.

I think a director's cut could help aspects of the film, but there are some fundamental storytelling flaws in the film that I can't imagine any director's cut would fix. I could be wrong.

So how did LV 223 become LV 426? There was just a lot of action sequences that were thrown in just to have them with no cohesive overall plot.

It is not the same place.

Edit: Or it might be the same gas giant and LV 223 and LV 426 are two of the moons that orbit said planet.

Apparently so. Or Lindelof couldn't bother to fact check.

I might actually see a sequel if they don't bother to tie it in to the rest of the Alien series. If they say "Okay, so Alien was the springboard for the last movie, but now we're in uncharted territory while the events of Alien happen elsewhere" it could be cool.

What they should do is say "Okay, Prometheus is its own thing. It takes place in the same universe, but you won't see Ripley in these movies, or Shaw in the Alien movies." Then release a Prometheus sequel AND a new Alien movie.
