Matharu's Rants and Raves

The film “Prometheus” could have been so much more, so much better. The overall premise was promising but whoever wrote the script probably didn’t care about the story and who, on the face of it, I would compare to the script/screen writer(s) for Highlander 2; that isn’t a compliment! Yes, the use of the word “lost” in the title of this blog article was done on purpose, thank you very much Mr Damon Lindelof!

The tag line for Prometheus should have been “In space, no one knows how stupid you are”. Perhaps there’s an outbreak of stupid-virus on future Earth? Or even on current Earth based on the evidence of the script!

And the scariest, most alien thing in the film was the old-man makeup for Guy Pearce!

Don’t expect too much from the movie. But there is still hope that a sequel to Prometheus can be good. Perhaps, like Highlander 3 where Highlander 2 is completely ignored, Prometheus 2 can ignore everything in Prometheus ;)

Anyway, I could go on and on about Prometheus, but instead I direct you to an article written by Julian Sanchez:

Movie makers need to understand that it takes more than just special effects to make a good movie.
