    The Alien franchise is a beloved horror and sci-fi staple, so naturally Hollywood tries to breathe new life into it every few years. In 2012, Ridley Scott made his return to the universe of Alien with Prometheus-- a not-quite prequel that follows a space crew as they deal with some scary alien threats called Engineers.
    Prometheus does raise some questions though. Like why haven’t the crew been briefed on their mission until AFTER they’ve been in cryo-sleep for several years? Why does everybody take off their helmets in an alien cave? How did they get lost in the cave with amazing mapping technology? Why did they suddenly want to touch that horrifying alien snake thing? Why did David spike Charlie’s drink? What was the point of Weyland plot twist? Why was that Engineer chasing Elizabeth at the end?
    To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Prometheus! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

It should have been called Blue Balls: The Movie. And yeah, how to discredit and destroy you're movie in 5 seconds: Write your characters a certain way, then 5 minutes later have them behave completely contradictary to how you wrote them as. A five years old could write more consistant characters! Come on! And don't get me started on the pitiful Alien Covenant...

    What is really sad, is that Prometheus could have been a good film if the writing and characters were not so awful....the music was there, the cinematic elements were great. I think Ridley tried to re-create the Alien "feel" (a sense of the mysterious unknown which fills the imagination) but he did it so badly, showing so many meaningless things that have no logic or possible answers.

    As a huge fan of the Alien movies (the first 4) and also the books I was looking forward to this. I saw this in theaters. I've never been more disappointed in a movie.
    All the movie needed to do was:
    -Have Humanity encounter Engineer tech
    -Find a planet they 'cleansed" with the Xenomorph
    -Humans exploring it find things and die
    That's it. That was all that needed to happen.

    For me, part of the horror of the original Alien was that there were so many questions: what were they? Where did they come from? But the scary part was that the universe is so vast, so old, so much more immense than humanity can ever be, that it doesn't care about our questions. We don't deserve answers because, ultimately, in the face of the black, cold, ageless cosmos, we are insignificant. And there are beings out there utterly beyond our comprehension, to which we are just food.
    The new batch of movies took that totally away, and made it all about *us.* Like, humans have this special place in the scheme of the universe. I really feel that completely diminished the Aliens' power.

    Bravo! Spot on. Still can't understand how anyone can watch this movie and ignore everything that senselessly happens.
    I knew the moment they took off their helmets, without any thought of an alien airborne virus lurking around that the movie was going to be trash.
    Nope, actually it was when it was revealed that they didn't even know what type of mission they had signed up for. Like, this isn't a military operation, who would do such a foolish thing?
