Sure makes it sound like there will be a double-dip extended version in the future.
See, this is what I mean. I heard the same thing (about the 30-minute loner version), then it was debunked but not officially, etc.. There's just an air of mystery surrounding this release.MattAlbie60 said:I thought this WAS an extended edition, to be honest. I thought I remembered someone saying Charlie was working on one, but I could be making that up. It might have been wishful thinking on my part, ha
EDIT: No, Ridley Scott apparently said it in June, according to articles from the time. He said it would be 20 to 30 minutes longer. So maybe he just meant that all that footage would be in the deleted scenes?
I'm surprised we haven't had a HTF review yet.
Sorry Doug, you knew this had to be inevitable.I'll go out on a limb and say its probably the best science fiction film of the last 20 years or so.
I agree. My opinion is that Prometheus is one of the least notable SF movies of the past 20 years
Oh yes, I finally caught up with it last night (borrowed the DVD from my local library) & what a disappointment! I thought the film was flat & boring & downright tedious, & the cinematography was only so-so. The publicity had you thinking this was some sort of major event, a lot of people must have gone to the cinema with very high hopes...& come out a feeling a bit deflated.dpippel said:I agree.

I think you're forgetting some painful sci-fi memories of the last 2 decades. I don't think Prometheus is a GREAT movie but taking a cursory look at a list of sci-fi movies on Wikipedia, I think it's easily better than:dpippel said:My opinion is that Prometheus is one of the least notable SF movies of the past 20 years.
That wasn't what I said though. Doug said that Prometheus was one of the least notable sci-fi movies of the last 20 years so he is comparing Prometheus to the rest of the sci-fi movies of the last 2 decades. I responded to that comparison by listing more than 50 movies that I thought were worse (to varying degrees) than Prometheus. By pointing out that many titles, I think it refutes the idea that Prometheus is one of the least notable sci-fi movies of the last 20 years.TonyD said:I always think it's an odd argument when one tries to make a point by saying, well there sure was a lot worse that this one.
Prometheus wasn't great but at least it want as bad as Plan 9 from outer space..
