Prometheus is a great example of “what could have been”. Great themes, fantastic visuals, some cool ideas, but… I don’t know what the word/phrase is but the people, their motivations and actions are almost all just ridiculous.
To call it all off, they just abandon the interesting potential they set up by killing Shaw, all the engineers, and basically repeating the movie in covenant.
I still maintain that Prometheus was god enough, and hypes were still high for Covenant. And I liked the earlier concepts they had, but killing off whats her face before the movie even began and going in the direction they did made Covenant much worse than it could have or should have been. I still haven’t seen the new one.
The story and ideas were great. I loved the abortion. Michael Fassbender was appropriately creepy.
However, this is the movie where the Prometheus School of Running Away came from.
