Prometheus directed by Ridley Scott
(Spoiler-Free: May-Bee); designed for fans of Sci-Fi
Just got done #soloing the movie Prometheus and thought Id make an Artistic, minimal spoiler, review and preview.
What if:
- Allegory on the Greek Titan (Proto-god) Prometheus; of course.
- If humanity achieved Immortality; then the only goal would be to invent a Monster to commit suicide.
- Emotion is necessary for life; there must be an irrational reason to live; Love!
- Technology should replace ancient religions.
- The monster in the Alien movies is the Grim Reaper; an intelligently designed Death!
- If free-will is real; then belief or disbelief is the only choice humans have...
- Morals:
- Fund NASA instead of privatized space exploration...
- Never trust people who display ritualistic behavior; Artificial Intelligence
- Ancient religions are regressive; designed to deceive humans by #Ancient_Astronauts
- Imaginary, real-life, back-story of film:
- A retake on the film Alien; as opposed to a remake
- So many unanswered questions; the script probably looked like James Cameron's mind.
- Similar to the film Twilight; the sequels quality will depend on which characters are allowed to reprise their roles.
- Suggests the human-individual soul is imaginary
- Seems to suggest Artificial Life would always despise its creator...
- Seems to suggest Artificial Intelligence should not be designed to replicate human emotions
- Charlize Theron looks to replace Sigourney Weavers character from the Alien films
- Noomi Rapace gives another wonderful performance and far out shines the stale two-dimensional portrayals given by Theron and Michael Fassbender's (David)
- Fassbender's character David is a thinly veiled Allegory of David and Goliath
Reminder; if Noomi Rapace is looking for a new husband; I'm available...

The promotion for this film made it look freakin’ awesome but also, a lot like Alien and I think that’s the big problem with the film. It’s pretty much the same formula used over again and even though Scott tries his hardest to get our heads past that, it’s too obvious, too quick. Good review Thomas.
ReplyDeleteAgree with you entirely. It is the same film from the same writer.
DeleteI will admit I was entertained though; and in some respects that's all you can ask for the $10 it costs for a viewing; I think the difference between this film and Alien is that I own the Alien on disc and I don't plan on buying Prometheus again...
