October 15, 2012This appears to be another section of this site that addresses the Furious Gods documentary but also other material on the blu-ray disk. As I said in the other, any true fan of Prometheus must see this documentary as it is loaded with information regarding many many aspects of how this script came together all the way to how they shot all the amazing special effects. I have never seen such a sophisticated process in the making of a movie. The pre-Vis scenes I have never seen done before. For those of you who are familiar with the term, they basically take a hand drawn storyboard such as Ridley Scotts famous Ridleygrams, and convert it in one day into a video game quality mock up of the same material that in many cases winds up looking like the final choices in the scenes they shot and doctored with special effects such as CGI. They are really becoming very sophisticated in their techniques nowadays than they used to be. But Ridley Scott also went back to some of the older mechanical building that has almost become a lost art, with the idea that if you can shoot a scene it is both better and even less expensive then CGI though most people don't realize this. The questions that it wont answer is the whys of the finished movie, and that is fine since they plan on making sequels and if they answered too many why questions there would not be sufficient material to work with down the line. If this were going to be the only solo work then everyone would be justified with all of the unanswered questions such as Dr Shaw is asking: "Why did they make us and then change their minds and decide to destroy us?"
