Prometheus and Mission to Mars

[i]I will say that Mission to Mars does a better job because it actually shows the steps that went into the evolutionary process and explains what happened a bit better.[/i] That you favor Mission to Mars over Prometheus, that's what I gathered.

You might just be a troll. In my opinion Mission to Mars was a total complete piece of excrement, not sure why you are comparing the two unless you are aiming to bash Prometheus?

@ Freeze Him! Mission to Mars aims to explore the same concepts as Prometheus and also has some great visuals and leaves many questions unanswered. I don't think Mission to Mars is a piece of excrement although it does suffer from many problems. From many of the user reviews I have gathered, it seems that Promotheus also suffers from many of the same problems such as having flat characters, not giving enough time for the plot to evolve naturally, having certain characters there just to die, and not providing answers to most of the important plot elements. If being open to the fact that Promotheus is just another movie and Ridley Scott is just another director makes me a troll then I guess I am a troll. I judge each film only on the merits of that one film and do not make excuses such as "we got no answers and it was rushed but there will be sequels". Furthermore, saying that Mission to Mars is excrement does not actually add anything to the discussion. You can disagree that the story elements are not similar or you can agree that they are. Ad hominem attacks lead us down the path to nowhere.

Naysaying will get you everywhere I suppose.... Enjoy comparing Mission to Mars to Prometheus, on the site for Prometheus. Good Luck!

@Freeze Him! Enjoy being a mindless fanboy who immediately attacks people who don't bow down and worship everything you like as if it were the sacred golden calf. Many users who I actually respect saw the movie and are in agreement with me. It seems like the only people screaming about how amazing Prometheus is are those that have not seen it yet.

thanks for the compliment, I guess we are even now! It's just obvious you are getting off on being negative.... imo

@ Freeze Him! What you call being negative I call being on the side of level-headed people who judge the product and don't worship the person who made it. There are more and more people on the boards every day who saw the movie and are willing to discuss the plot and actually have a conversation about it. There are tons of threads where people who have not seen the film are still gushing about how amazing and spectacular its going to be. Just because I am not one of those people who mindlessly worships a film regardless of how good or bad it is, does not mean that I am a troll. As more and more people see the film, you will find that my view is going to become the norm. Not because of some mass conspiracy but because Scott put out a product that was significantly inferior in almost all respects to what was promised and what he is capable of producing.

You're right -- I haven't seen the movie. And I will happily reingage you in this conversation as soon as I have. To be continued.

Why is it everytime @ Drakeequation says anything certain members ridicule like its a social calender event ? It's like cyber-space stickball for you guys!

@ Sundar thanks man, I needed to know that there are still some sane, rational people left in the world.

Drakeequation you did saw the movie or you are just trolling ??

@ Frantz I did not see the movie but many of the members of this board that I like did. I read the entire plot on wikipedia and talked with them about this film extensively to form the opinion I have now. Did you see the movie?

I did see the movie ..why you dont wait a few days to bash the movie but with more knowledge about it ?? Its just a few days if you are from USA !!

Hello Drakeequation! Have you seen Prometheus yet? I want to know your opinin on the movie? Can you clarify your personal take of the movie for me if possible? The way you express yourself towards Prometheus, makes it seem that you saw the movie already.
