You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
(yesterday this thread was about prometheus)
 i don't much about the lore of the alien series so im not rating it on the basis of whether it sticks to canon, just as a normal movie. it was pretty cool and interesting. makes me want to watch the others in the series.

————————————————————————

felt like watching the rest of the series so i got alien 1979 and aliens 1986. should be a fun day >.>

My stupidity is self evident.
It didn't deserve the hate.

I think it had some consistency issues on its own.  However, it was an OK story, and can be enjoyable as long it's not taken seriously. Just like the original Alien films.

I wonder if we'll ever have the origins of the Xenomorphs explained; maybe that was the point of Prometheus-- it's up to our interpretations. Still, a lot of things don't make sense.

like isara said there were consistency issues

People also went in expecting Aliens and got something else entirely.

Hmm...
I wonder if we'll ever have the origins of the Xenomorphs explained; maybe that was the point of Prometheus-- it's up to our interpretations. Still, a lot of things don't make sense.
Might just be me, but I thought it was pretty heavily implied that...

Spoiler
Those snake things that infect/kill/change people were the precursors to the face-huggers and were designed by the Engineers as bio-weapons to kill an entire species on a single planet (Earth's coordinates were on that ship IIRC).

wasn't the snake thing a meal worm that somehow ended up in the room w/ the containers and got contaminated?

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.

This is why so many people hated the movie, it's so convoluted and leaves so many more questions than it answered.

Aliens is a masterpiece, and you can definitely see some of the inspiration it had on the Halo series and other sci-fi. I love everything about it, and it still feels fresh and new.

From Alien? I was talking about the 1986 sequel, which is Aliens haha. It's more of an action movie.

emigrate or degenerate. the choice is yours
Atmospherically it's a great film, but it has a few plot and pacing issues. Decent start to the series no doubt, but I personally prefer Aliens.
