Also, Charlize Theron was there . . . why? I'm not sure what she was there for other than to ape Ripley with the flame thrower and not letting people on-board due to quarantine rules. So, she's like Ripley only the anti-Ripley but . . . what? And then, dun dun daaaahhh (SPOILER!! SPOILER!!) we are all TOTALLY SURPRISED when Guy Pierce turns out to be her dad that she has a troublesome non-relationship with, omg so suprised, nobody saw that coming five hundred space miles off.
Everyone laughed when she got squashed. British movie audiences are mean, we started laughing pretty early on then kept on throughout. God, what a pretty, stupid film.
I thought Logan Marshall Whosits was Tom Hardy in his Shinzon era, so it was like Picard-Clone versus Alien squiggly eye-worm DNA there.
And the Scottish Geologist was a dick so it was easier for us to see him first (maybe) die but then, NO! HAHA! He's a cranky alien space homo-spider! LULZ.
And yeah, I doubt you can sit up, using your stomach muscles, to WATCH YOUR STOMACH MUSCLES BEING SLICED IN HALF. It's probably difficult to run around for hours after your stomach muscles have been sliced in half, no matter how efficiently stapled. Tom and I were howling with lolz at this point.
I don't recall the space-sleep bandages giving Sigorney such epic camel toe.
It was all too stupid to fanwank my way around, so I concentrated on how nice it all looked, and sniggering over this in my head: "I can't do it, I just can't, there's -- I'm just so goddamn SICK of fighting space marines. Mom was right. Shoulda stuck with jazz piano. Stupid. Stupid." From Cracked.
Then I pondered for the next few days how all the best sci-fi in the past god knows how many years has been the low budget stuff (Moon, District 9, Chronicle, Monsters etc), and that there's a good reason for that which shows up in Prometheus -- good sci-fi takes imagination, not big budget wow factor BS. If you factor out the big budget, all that's left is imagination to fill it. Lindelof was vocal about how stoked he was to get paid the big bucks to write "Alien fanfiction", but I think most of us in sci-fi fandom could've done a slightly more original job, if nothing else.
And yes to casting fails, apart from Fassie, who is always marvellous and who I wish didn't creep me the fuck out to quite such a degree.
