Guest Morphy Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 After giving it some thought I don't really think the characters of prometheus were all that stupid. In their timeline they have androids, possibly have phased out house pets or animals in general. The mega corps likely have crime under control. It's maybe been decades since anyone has had to run for their lives. They have dream recording so they probably also have really good virtual reality that people spend a lot of time in. In the Prometheus special features there's a diary entry by Peter Weyland that links him with Tyrell corp which means that even by 2019 they had replaced snakes with android versions so it stands to reason that the scientist who approached the Hammerpede had never encountered a real live dangerous animal and given that its taking place in 2093, he might not even have seen pictures or heard stories about one.

chim Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 I totally understand the offense some people take with the tonal departure of Resurrection, but still believe there are a lot of underrated aspects about it. If you can stomach the comic book-like approach, it's pretty fascinating that something like this left the drawing board. The design, the visual effects, environmental design, lighting, soundtrack are all pretty fantastic, possibly the most accomplished rendition of the Alien universe if you don't want to romanticize the retro look of the first film. All of the actors are wildly entertaining in their hammy glory - casting Dominique Pinon against type like that is baffling and Perlman is pretty great as Perlman in space. I think it's possibly the only film that acknowledges the psychosexual nature of the Xenomorph in a way that coincides with HR Gigers original vision, whether one likes it or not, and contributes to the horrific aspect. I think if you look beyond all that was lost in translation for a French auteur attempting a blockbuster shot-for-shot, and disregard the lower points (swim sequence, bullet-dodging aliens and whatnot), it's easy to enjoy the fever-dreamy, artistic space the film attempts to inhabit. No attention is paid to the space and silence of earlier films, but I'm not sure that would have contributed that much more to the series. It hit its peak a long time ago and one should make peace with that, especially when we're facing yet another redundant sequel. Scott set the bar recently when he showed zero respect to the power of mystery with regard to the once so iconic and mesmerizing space jockeys, so I'm pretty convinced of what to expect.
