Re: Prometheus aka Прометей (Scott, 2012) The Reviews Thread
I think you just made a great case for why people need to stop deferring to plot so much in talking about film haha. Since the vibes and concentrations of the two films are relatively different, despite both also having "government/corporation is using soldiers for their own nefarious ends and badass soldiers are quickly shown to be outclassed by the alien(s)".
Also, this is a general question to all: Has the general public consensus on Prometheus gotten more positive with time? I remember when it first came out (and a few years afterwards), it was popular in comments sections and among my coworkers to dunk on the stupidity of the characters. I always liked the film, but I understand the complaint about the scientists taking off their helmets. Honestly, I hadn't even thought about that until someone pointed it out to me. Did people begin to believe that the other aspects of the film outweighed poor choices by the characters? I know critics at the time felt that it was fairly solid, at least.

Like with Alien Covenant I havent seen this in a while. I remember at the time I liked it more than many here, but had some problems with it. Ive actually been in the mood to revisit all the Alien films. Might go through them at some point.

^ I did that last year. It was a good time and just exemplifies how terrible the AVP flicks really are.

They're not identical, but they're also not "worlds apart." There's similarities and differences, but I think there's something about both franchises that make them compatible with each other, and has lead to a lot of crossovers in various forms of media. It's just that the AvP movies we've gotten so far have sucked.

I always felt those deleted scenes should have been in the movie as it greatly strengthens an already strong movie.

I just saw the new "Dune" trailer and if the "Alien" series needs to continue at all, Denis Villeneuve needs to get involve ASAP. Preferably behind the camera. And I would love for him to do a proper sequel to "Prometheus". Finishing what Ripley Scott fucked up royally.
