saw Prometheus, hated it. every character is a complete fucking idiot.
- why is there a MALE med-pod in Charlize Theron's room? and while they are rare, surely a company that can blow a trillion dollars on a ship that is probably one of a kind can afford to pack two of them!
- the fucking geologist. so he's a fucking hardass when the biologist prick comes to talk to him, talking like a fucking mercenary or some shit, and then he's a cowardly geologist? and then, after freaking out by the door, he's almost happily playing with the snake alien thing.
- THE FUCKING SCIENTISTS!!! they take off their masks and go and fucking touch everything! WHAT THE FUCK?! who in their right minds would ever fucking act like that on a fucking alien planet?!
- seriously, why is no one acting scared or at least cautious?
- how do the geologist and the biologist get lost when most of the cave is already mapped? and why would they choose to stay in the creepy room, of all places? and don't say it was because they were lost and hadn't seen what was beyond the door before, the fucking alien corpse was still there by the door.
- why would Mr. Weyland's motivations be contrary to the mission? everyone could get their answers.
- while i can maybe see the point in infecting Holloway and impregnating his girlfriend, it could all be done SAFELY back home (after making sure that alien shit won't kill y- oh wait), or at least they could've knocked her out as soon as they were sure she was pregnant.
- scottish scientist woman: what the fuck? she doesn't know anything about the mission and suddenly she's siding with the company like it's no big deal?
- why isn't anyone surprised at the alien hologram shit? and i loved it, "please tell me you can read that" and the robot says he probably can and then everyone promptly forgets about it and goes into the MYSTERIOUS ROOM WHERE AN ALIEN GOT HIS HEAD CUT OFF.
- why not let us know what David told the alien?
seriously, terrible movie. visually appealing, but that's about it.
i haven't seen and do not care to see any of the Alien movies, although i did read the plots on Wikipedia because i have way too much time on my hands.
The pod was male because I expect it was for the auld man, not Charlize. As for everything else, yeah, why the fuck would you behave like that? That said, I still loved the film.
