As Ancient Alien Theorists believe.......

Ha! Love that.

No, but it's dark, twisted and fvcked the fvck up where some horrific things happen but its not horror. Torture porn moves like Hostel and Saw are considered horror but they're just gross. Trying to get a gauge on how "horror" Prometheus is.

I'd say about 56 % "sci-fi horror," with enough gooey or bloody bits to leave that segment of the audience satisfied.

Ridley Scott's fairly wacko views about extraterrestrial life and human origins are fairly well known, but I don't see how that matters when using the wacko beliefs as the maguffin of a movie. Who cares? It's an interesting maguffin as far as maguffins go ... but they are NOT the heart of the film - just the thing the characters are interested in that the audience is not really meant to care a fig about.


And I suppose what I thought was the set-up for the situation encountered in the original Alien movie was just a tease for how the actual set-up is going to be revealed in a sequel to Prometheus. UGH. My liking for the movie is plummeting minute-by-minute. At least I enjoyed it while I watched, but I don't think I'll be watching it again.

It matters because as far as wacko theories go, von Daniken's are internally inconsistent and I'd thus start with an assumption that a story inspired by them would be as well.

Plus, I would assume a mind that can take von Daniken serious would produce coherence only accidentally.

I was unaware of Scott's views so now I must assume any coherence in previous movies was fortuitous accident or the stabilizing result of collaboration.

And we've hardly even touched on the...

Says who?

Great. Perhaps
