That's just the thing, it doesn't make me think.. It makes me have to research crap.. It's not that I don't have an imagination, I get it when the movie leaves the viewer wondering what happens, but this isn't what were talking about here. Vague scenes were shown and leave it open to almost any flippin theory in the world.. The more I hear people making up excuses for this movie the more I hate it.. It's like saying I can make a movie full of plot holes and no explanations throughout, just as long as someone writes up an article explaining my nonsense. All I need is dazzling scenery & special effects to fool people into thinking it's good. And yes, visually, it was. Storywise.. what story? Were practically writing it for them

To me a movie doesn't have to explain everything to be good, and a bunch of nerds arguing about what was left out doesn't affect my enjoyment of said film.

..sigh It doesnt need to explain everything, but there's kinda something wrong when it didn't explain ANYTHING. You're missing the point.. 2 people in here literally had to post links just to make sense of the movie.. I'm just not into these "choose your own adventure" films is all I'm sayin. I mean, besides the most important making sense part, there were plenty of other things this film also lacked.. (action, suspension of disbelief, continuity, R-rating, etc..)
Shmokes did you see this yet?? I want hear what this guy has to say. I like reading his reviews lol

(If you'll recall, there were all kinds of conspiracy theories about Deckard in Blade Runner because an actor flubbed a line in the beginning. it was redubbed during Final Cut. Oops.)

Which line? You mean the "six replicants" yeah? That wasn't so much a flubb as a budget constraint. Six were originally planned for. I have the shooting script, Bryant's "Don't be an ---uvula---, Deckard. I got five skin jobs walking the streets. " Originally read "six" skin jobs, six has been crossed out and "five" pencilled in. I know you're a bit of a PKD fan Jim - just a titbit of useless trivia. The errors in that (original) film have almost as much cult coverage as the film itself.
As to Prometheus, this is copping a slamming as a turkey just about everywhere I look. What a shame, what great films Alien and Blade Runner were, it all seemed downhill for R Scott after Black Rain, maybe Hollywood producers write cheques that are just too damn big for Scott to care about a decent screenplay. I worked in Television and Film in the 80's, he was the hero of lighting guys I knew back then for his awesome atmospheric effects and probably still is.
