That's why I didn't buy the TF3 3D Blu-ray or the Pirates 4 blu-ray. At least Disney knows how sell their Blu-ray combos

So you're saying that what I mentioned about reading earlier was right, then?

[Show spoiler]The rise of our own made religion upset them? The fact that the statues of them show some sort of the Engineers having their own religion? Did it upset them that we didn't follow theirs? Where's the evidence they were present after our creation to prove that, if that's even what they wanted?

Those last two questions, I can find to be more appropriate along the lines of what you guys are saying-- I mean,

[Show spoiler]the last few lines were practically saying Shaw was going to look for answers by taking the ship back to where it came from.

I'm going to give it one more viewing, keeping what you said in mind. I still have plenty of gripes with the writing, so the fact that the sequel is already getting a new writer is a great start.

any writer will be better than Damon L.

It seems to me that you think you can do a lot better job at making movie than the legendary Sir Ridley Scott.

Besides I never said you don't have imagination. I said you're not using it.

I'm not upset. I think you're a moron for saying we have no imagination, but you say it blindly without reason.

I quoted an above user who gave specific examples of stuff I may have overlooked throwing clues to a set up, that I'm hoping get fully answered in the sequel, but for now let us hypothesize until it is released.

Finally!!! Thank you.

BTW, you were kidding about me being a moron. Right?

I am glad somebody replied in a very good manner-- More than what you can say about your senseless posts.

I'll check this out when my store gets it in this Thursday and see if what he mentioned is present there. I'm sure it is, I'll just be more attentive and looking for it.

I'll post back when I see it that second time.

Considering they're calling the 3D set the Collector's set, you can think of it as paying more for the features, rather than paying more for the 3D disc. They won't be that different in price, and it's just a choice of wanting the features or not caring about them that leads that decision... I'm not using the 3D disc either, but want the extra disc mostly.

+1

See. We can agree on something.

Kira, I am sorry if I offended you. Believe me I didn't mean to offend or disrespect you personally. I never said you have no imagination. But I guess you thought I did. So I would like to apologize to you. I hope we can call it water under the bridge and be friends.

I wasn't offended, just read into your words based on myself being one of the more "complaining" person. I had questions I felt it didn't answer, and was looking for someone to enlighten me, and clue me into what I might have missed. i got that, but thanks for apologizing. I'm sure you meant to post something along the lines of what helped; maybe I read into it differently.

Pretty mixed response there, wouldn't suggest so if the 3D version doesn't drop to twenty dollars.

I mean, I thought the film had some massive script problems, but I loved it because of the atmosphere it oozed.

It's not a brawl by any means, just I said my reasons already why I thought it to be disappointing only for the bad writing:

[Show spoiler]Faults with it that won't change but were stupid: Why did Charlize Theron commit to the dumbest death I've seen this year? Yes, if you run straight instead of diagonally, you're that stupid you have to be committed to want to die; in this case, chalk it up to bad writing. Why wasn't there any arc to the character of Idris Elba? In the beginning when the two biologists were in the chamber, he very jokingly and carelessly said they can stay there overnight. Yes, you can chalk it up to "well at the end, the risk of Earth being destroyed or under attack of the Engineer made him want to be hero", but why all of a sudden? Not enough screen time for his character to show he even second guessed it, when he immediately let his teammates in danger and to their death-- Did they even show his reaction? I can't recall. Again, why cut out the reason why the Engineers, who created us, wanted us dead? Sure, maybe they wanted to start from scratch if they thought we were ****ed up, but to not answer it in the movie is ridiculous. What did David say to the Engineer that set him off? I heard it was, "This man (Weyland) wants to live forever." Blah, blah. It shows their creation's greed, but again-- I got that from reading it from post interviews. Why should I have to guess that? Sure, the pieces were there that Weyland was greedy, but a little more clear cut would have been nice.

I could go on, but this video asks more questions that weren't answered, points out stupid plot holes in a funny way, so I'll link you guys:

[Show spoiler]Prometheus Parody

Ohhh, I wanted to have this conversation but when I came back in here it was all over...

However one thing I can say about that Red Letter Media video is that if you actually watch their real review, they both liked Prometheus and had a lot to talk about. That video is more of a parody of everybody asking questions. So its humorous to see it being held up like a banner against the film.

[KarmaNL]

The deleted scene with Milburn finding a small worm and getting all excited about finding the first Alien lifeform would have made the scene with him petting the big worm make a little more sense.

Now it's just stupid.

They do not even run in a straight line!
They run to the side and the ship turns with them, with flaming debris falling all around.

I swear 99% of ALL the criticisms are from people who didn't pay attention.
It's like you didn't even see the film.
