PROMETHEUS Blu-Ray Trailer Promises That, "Questions Will Be Answered"

Too little, too late.

Questions should been answered in the theatrical cut.

@PirateOpossum
Same here! If you listen and engage the brain,everything you need to understand it is in the movie.The movie makers simply over estimated the intelligence of the general public.

@Lokibane
You're assuming the tagline doesn't simply refer to the movie that was released.As in answering the questions:Who was the giant guy in the arc-ship in the original 'Alien',and where did the xenomorphs come from?

@PirateOpossum - I whole heartedly agree. I loved Prometheus! I think that nostalgia and rose-colored-glasses may be sweeping this website by storm. Honestly, I do.

Everybody else - So what? Would you guys prefer Nolan's blatantly realistic take on things that leaves no imagination? In 'Inception' there was nothing close to a real dream or nightmare. Or would you prefer the crowd-pleasing style of 'The Avengers', where nothing is THAT complicated? Perhaps you'd prefer Matthew Vaughn, whom everything he touches is gold simply because he sticks to what the source material?
People are gonna have problems with everything that is released, that's a given. But this is just ridiculous. Pathetic, even.

Oh, and I just noticed that attempting to copy and paste anything from this webpage will immediately add to the pasted material: "Read more at www.blah blah blah". Not sure if that's necessary, but okay, I'll accept that. Lol

Wow, it's cute that all these people are trying to defend the intelligence of this film, by calling the general audience stupid.

In case you dumb twats didn't know, there's a big difference between leaving things up to interpretation and lazy writing.

Lindelof is a notoriously lazy writer, who pulled the same shit for six seasons on Lost. By promising intelligent answers to tie things up, only to wrap it up with an insultingly simple "it's magic, bitch". Later, a writer from the show actually came out and said they never actually planned jackshit, they just kept throwing random shit at the viewers to keep the excitement high. The only plotline they planned was with Walt, and that got dropped.

Now for one second, forget the questions and their answers. Within the logic of it's own world, was it even a well written film?

1- the mission was undermanned and underequipped to deal with a (quite possibly) hostile Alien force of unknown power (but here we're supposed to assume that they created humans, so about their power...). Especially embarrassing for a trillion-dollar mission

2- the people on the mission didn't even [frick]ing know what the mission was until they had already been on the ship for years

3- a geologist scared of fossils

4- a biologist treating unknown Alien creates with a "let's poke it with a stick" attitude

5- a really weak twist --poorly built up --poor writing

6- none of the characters were well developed beyond either "he's an asshole", or "he's okay, i guess". how many of these characters can you honestly say you truly knew? memorable character have been one of the strongest points of the Alien films. The characters in this film were underdeveloped and utterly forgettable

7- philosophical questions that are just asked, but never explored. For these sort of questions, you don't need answers. You contemplate the different possible answers, leave it to the viewers to make the connections with the story, and at the end, let them make their own conclusions about the whole thing (or least provoke provoke thought). This film didn't do that. Just asking smart questions doesn't make it a smart film, you have to do something with it.

Do I even need to say more?

So no. It wasn't a smart film. It was a stupid, stupid one. Which collapsed in itself not because the audience wasn't smart enough for it, but because it wasn't smart enough for the audience.

Hmmmmm. Not answering questions? Reminds me of that trash known as "Lost".

cool... maybe they´ll explain the lazy writing, the plotholes, and the cliché one dimensional characters doing stupid things out of SyFy channel movies.. (still laughing at vickers williecoyote-esque death)

I understood the movie perfectly but that doesn't take away the fact that there was a sh!t load of unanswered question hence the reason for a trailer titled "Questions Will Be Answered".

Really a terrible film

i'll pick this up. i know people didn't like this movie, but i am not interested into getting into another flame war by trying to explain what i liked or my interpretation.

i not starting sh!t here, but why comment on something you don't like. eveyone whips that one out when someone rains on someones parade in other articles so i thought its my turn to say it!! freedom!!

@INSTANTJUSTICE: thanks bud, next time someones says avengers or tdkr sucks i'll just say that so people getting mad or deleting their comments will have a change of heart ;)

You guys complain too much, I really liked it and will be buying it the day it comes out.

So, apparently you're intellectually chanllenged if you didn't understand the plot of this movie, huh?
No, how about the script had many plot holes that required several leaps of logic. Not to mention, they cut so much out that scenes did not fit together very well. This is a case of poor writing and poor editing. This film was not so advanced that we couldn't understand it.

Former debate team captains unite!

"...beef up your criticality" :P

Sounds better than the stock: "..anyone who has taken (insert high school, collegiate level or whatever course here to show your desperation)course in biology...," response. No Dr. Who fans here? :P

I personally have never aspired to be a professional fanboy or Hypocritic, if you will, but I do know a film from "pappy pap." This film took chances and in today's market that is "having balls," especially on that budget. By the way, wasn't going to a particular article to bash it , the kind of trolling that this site had had enough of? The film was good, if you didn't like it, sorry about that, but.....

@Loki Lost was great! Don't be drinking that haterade ;P
