Prometheus
On Film 4 last night
I knew the reviews were bad when it came out but...
What a pile of of steaming incoherent £$%^&
I was going to say it was full of plot holes but that would overstate how much plot there was.
Its a massive collection of holes held together by a thin skein of references to the original Alien movie.
I've tried to describe some of the bigger stupidities but that requires explaining the surrounding stupidities,its like trying to get hold of an alien shapeshifting blob of jelly and nail it to a wall.
A few of the simpler ones;
A series of keystrokes on a complex panel to shut an airlock in an emergency
I know we're scientists on a trillion dollar expedition but its dark and scary we're going back to the ship - Oh look we forgot to go back to the ship and now we're left behind
Every spaceship should have a flamethrower handy - I wonder how many they have on the ISS.
I'm going to examine an alien head - a gauze surgical mask will be plenty of protection.
Fully automated medical pod - for men only.
Ok rant mostly over
In conclusion about as logical and scary as Abbot and Costello Vs The Mummy
