    you are correct zeebeezee. Ridley makes his first good film in many years and everyone is split over it. The bigger picture viewers versus the ocd, they chose wrong ways to write human interaction and why were there flutes arguments. The bigger idea the whole film is so much more fun to think about and discuss than the plot details within this film. The details get completely masked imo. The details that do work are all amazing, David, the creature design, the ship design, the way outer space is presented in the film, fx in general etc. I have already stated my case in this thread. Glad you enjoyed it as well zeeberz.

    yeah, I agree. The scene would have been more shocking. Rubber Johnny has already scared and scarred me, so this time he wasn't as scary. Still a scary scene though, dumb ass geologist all folded up creepy crab style. Great torching scene. Gotta love them flame throwers!

    from movies.com glossary The Pyramid - The name of the structure where nearly everything goes down. It was originally designed to look more pyramid-like, but became more dome-like in reference to some of H.R. Giger's Alien designs for "egg-shaped mounds." The book contains one of the earlier, unused pieces of concept-art from when it was still a pyramid, which reveals an entirely different and more civilized vision for the landscape of LV-223. The Engineers - Everyone already knows them as the aliens who created everything, but it's worth noting this name comes from Spaihts' original script for the film. Their physical design, particularly their head, was, "inspired by Michelangelo's David, Elvis Presley and the the Statue of Liberty." The mandate for their exosuit was, "Russian cosmonaut meets Samurai." The Ampule Chamber - AKA the Room With the Giant Head. Scott's cue to the design team was to treat it like a cathedral, though without any clear ties to known religions. The murals on the ceiling depict the "Creation, Armageddon, and Judgment cycle." The Ampule - These are the containers found within the ceremonial chamber. 70 ceramic Ampules with lids were crafted and carved with alien text by hand. Note: what oozes out of the Ampules after they're activated is referred to as the "black slime." Babyhead - The production nickname for what Fifield turns into after being infected by the black slime. The original designs had him transforming into something remarkably more alien, as partially seen below. Hammerpede - A production nickname for the snake-like creature that evolves from the black slime inside the Ampules. Its design was inspired by translucent sea creatures and it was built practically to be used on set. In fact, when it breaks Millburn's arm, Ridley Scott was operating the cables inside it. The Juggernaut - The production name for the Engineer's spaceship. The design had to be modified from the crashed ship seen in Alien because the team modeled it and found out that its original horseshoe shape meant that it wouldn't roll like the film required it to, so its ends were brought in a bit to give it more of a donut shape. The Orrery - The holographic navigation system David activates inside the Juggernaut's hibernation chamber. Trilobite - The team's name for the impregnated creature Shaw removes via Med Pod-assisted cesarean. Animatronic versions of both its embryonic and grown forms were created for the film, with its final look being created by famed conceptual designer Neville Page. The Deacon - Ridley Scott's own name for the offspring of the Trilobite and the Engineer, who dubbed it so because the final design - which includes elements from Shaw, the Engineer and the Trilobite - looked, "like a Bishop's mitre, the evil Deacon's pointed hat." Two versions of it were built: One for inside the birthing sac within the Engineer, and one for when it stands up. http://www.movies.com/movie-news/prometheus-glossary/8313

    the flute was a freemason reference Robbie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IR8GFUTMP_E and a hearty lol Mirezzi.
  16. Atop
    yes, lol...that would have thrown out of my seat in laughter explosions.....re-edit please? SKrillex could have been in the hologram djing

    we came from the Engineers, why wouldn't they make music like we do? Why would it have to be synthesized music? I love the first Zelda. flol!
  18. Atop
    Was alright i guess :D Needed more blue aliens, sam worthington. up until the flute playing i was sorta into it, then it just became more absurd than Mission to Mars I walked the fuck out of MTM, still have yet to see that last scene everyone tells me was worth sitting through the most boring space flight film that I can remember. It took them forever to get to Mars. So I left. The flute playing is what ruined it for you? Come on man. You have read enough about Ancient Egyptians to know that sound and chanting was a very important part of the priests and priestesses lives. I felt that it drew from that historical knowledge therefore making it a great detail. Gave me the good chills. The map looked incredible in 3D.
  19. Atop
    Nope, I was thinking more about what the fuck kind of messed up toy does she have inside of her goddamned uterus!
  20. Atop
    the Engineer ship control room, when David starts up the holographic playback, didn't look bad ass in 3D to you? One of the most idm things I have ever experienced on film. Truly idm as fuk!!!!
  21. Atop
    this is the best 3D i have experienced thus far. Worth seeing in IMAX, if you have the time, money and want to do it Mirezzi. Otherwise I am waiting for the Blu-ray as well.

    fuck Alien: Resurrection in its awful, cheesy slimy butthole. As I type this I am listening to the John Yoo mix. hehehe

    Wait, what ?! I was only half serious and half fucking joking! Edits provide holes everywhere throughout an entire film, defying time constantly, defying reality. Take it easy mod! I knew what you meant, Cody. Tension and release, the 'unreliable narrator', withholding information; all of the classic tools of effective storytelling are built around holes in our perception of narrative events. thanks Benji, I figured most people would get the joke. I haven't read that article yet but I think as far as the film goes, it depends on if you are more of detail oriented person or a bigger picture viewer of art. I feel like you are more of a detail type guy Robbie. The potential ideas within the film and a potential sequel, an extended Lovecraftian-like mythos gives me excitement in my mind. and what the fuck is this????

    Yes, he is a pretty man. Giving his David by Michelangelo pose. SO am I crazy for being a fan of a film with so many plot abysses?
