Do Mission Impossible Rogue Nation

Chen Lau well interstellar was mostly filmed in set and won best visual effects.

Chen Lau what do you mean

Draft The Filmmaker the movie was far different than the trailer and its disappointing

not even i seen WAYYYYY better

***** Such as?

Agreed. This trailer was fantastic. Better than the actual movie, I think.

*Randomly starts doing that siren-like sound*

Freddy the Parrot It's just so epic

+jhon doe nope? get outta here son

Sorry but not anymore. He sure used to be.

No, he just realized the truth early.

Not just ridley scott, but also HR Giger, James Cameron, David Fincher, everyone else who worked on the Alien series. It was a collaborative effort.

Not really.

@Jack your a mean person for judging someone who loves a movie. Not everyone is gonna hate a movie you hate.

I agree with you. I think all film enthusiasts and syfy fans should consider this a re watch. Its incredible!

@Jack This an awesome film, And my mind is made up

And then he kinda undermined it with Alien: Covenant.

K.

Id say the best

How? What sci-fi elements in this movie makes it the best?

+T-1000 What movie really matches it? And what do you hate so much about the movie?

Considering the "decade" was only two years in at that point, thats not saying much.

things the size of a small town

@@the22game Need a big cup of coffee to dunk that big donut into.

+Res Bck Yeah, that's stupid but even in games and in real life we made that stupid things

+Res Bck I mean, this sort of shit happens in real life all the time. People end up running in the same direction as the threat heading towards them.

They stupid, but why the hell i see you everywhere on youtube?

I luv that avatar

Paradise? It is the second part of this film?

2nd part is in 2016. have fun waiting 2 yrs

@@FirstGoblin He/she meant Alien covenant. Alien covenant originally was going to be called paradise or Alien: Paradise. Ridley changed it to Covenant.

+Ahmed Hassanin judging by your comment,using "bullshit "word,you and your 49 people who liked your comment got the mind of an12 years old kid.thats the kind of people enjoyed this pathetic "bullshit".

+ologus locutus in all seriousness, have you taken the time to look at where this movie sits in the franchise in full depth? while the movie mayn't be the great on its own, with some elaboration and further exploration with the help of the internet it might turn from a pathetic piece of bullshit to something less of that. Take a look at some of these sites: screenrant.com/prometheus-alien-connection-benk-176223/ wegotthiscovered.com/movies/big-small-beginnings-prometheus-connection-alien/ au.ign.com/wikis/prometheus/Connections_With_Alien If you have already looked into it and still find it a pathetic piece of shit please disregard my statement as nothing more and have a great day :)

Please enlighten me as to why I am a "retarded nigga"

Root Ping not particulary reason :D

Not in this world.

Wtf 😂

Wow

Me too!!!!!

I recently re-watch Alien series and look up is there more spin off besides avn, and I found this. 2015!

Because you don't know the Sumerians and their Annunaki and igigi. the invisible pointer goes to those kleytablets, the link to the alien movies were for the hollywood censure and sheeple.

Ryan Cooper Me! 😊

you

Just saw the covenant trailer it sucks big time

JASPAL SINGH I think it looks good. Hopefully a blend between Prometheus and Alien. People moaned that Prometheus wasn't scary and lacked xenos, now we have it people are moaning it's not original!

Just came for the ominous siren music

Some things were left unresolved to make way for the sequel.

But somethings were also left out to hasten the pacing, which made the overall film unclear and annoying to watch

I enjoyed this move more than any before in the alien franchise

***** Dear lord....

gaspar30 at least this prequel actually lived to expectations that A LOT of others dont

+Mike if you want to just show some special effects make movies like lord of the rings full of special effects and entertainment but if you are making movie on topic like origin of life then have some sense in story

+Mike I also enjoyed a lot Prometheus; it´s perfect? No, it´s far to be it. Does the plot have troubles? Of course (personally Filfield and Millburn both are more a failed comic reliefs than serious ones due lack of development) but still I think it deserves to be in the Alien Universe. Hopefully Ridley Scott and the new writter would fix such issued for Alien Paradiste Lost.

***** Well, more than plot holes I would say chararacter developments issues as the Fifield and Millburn characthers and yes, lot of people were angry cause they want the answers all served in a fancy tray (it´s like a David Lynch film). I thinks Prometheus in its way it´s a great film, it´s not an action film, it´s just sci fi, not the cup of tea for anybody.

***** Me too! David was by far the star of this movie. I think one of the flaws of this movie was the trailer teased at the end of 2011 (it showed a lot of key scenes as the Engineers), also Fox and Ridley relied too much on internet virals. Probably Prometheus would not be "classics" as other underrated gems when they were released as Blade Runner or Metropolis but still a very competent in it´s genre and a very solid addition to the Alien universe, in fact Alien 3 was very criticez due lot of people expected the same formula executed by James Cameron but nowadays is considered a classic.

It answered no questions. In fact, it raised more questions than it did answer. I absolutely hate the idea of the engineers being "Our makers" I wouldn't mind it so much if it didn't tamper with Alien lore. Saying it's better than AVP isn't much... at all...

Mee 2 :)

SliceofBread123 You haven't seen very many movies bud.

+Jacob Harris can you suggest some?:D

Dudee Ricsii confusing movies? Mulholland Drive, Lost Highway, Donnie Darko, Primer, Synecdoche New York. That's a good start.

+Jacob Harris Eraserhead, Brazil(kind of)...

Darkness Empire Leader definitely Brazil isn't confusing IMO, just wacky. And I didn't say Eraserhead because I haven't seen it yet, but I know a lot of people consider it Lynch's most confusing.

***** If this film was supposed to be a mystery film, I'd have no problem with it. It isn't, though. It's a sci-fi horror film. It shouldn't raise a bunch of questions and never answer a single one. And now, it's unlikely we'll ever get a sequel (at the very least, not with Ridley Scott attached).

***** It's trying to be horror as well a mystery/sci-fi film. It doesn't really hit any of those marks well, though. And I know filming is set to begin at the end of 2014 on Prometheus 2. However, I wouldn't be surprised if it was canned before then. However, I'll remain hopeful because I want the mistakes of the first film to be fixed and I'd like it to lead more into Alien. I'd venture to guess that Ridley Scott won't direct the film, though. He already has two projects he wants to do that aren't Prometheus 2. Well, actually 3 now counting Halo.

Ridley Scott is returning to direct the Prometheus Sequel. It's been confirmed.

Chris McMahon It hasn't been confirmed.

IngenFiles it's getting a March 2016 release. Ridley Scott is returning to direct.

***** Aw, now my feelings are hurt. First, to return in kind: go fuck yourself. Second, you're right, it doesn't affect me. However, it is a film that relies on something I find fairly stupid and morally questionable, and which is still broadly socially accepted. To my mind it's roughly comparable to a film that has as its central premise the virtue of racism. You'd be pissed off about something like that, right? Right? Even though it didn't affect you, or force you to believe in it. You might disagree with my evaluation of faith and religion, but I hope you can at least understand it. Pity you had to be such an arsehole about it.

***** Oh, c'mon... those films may be *about* racism, but they do not expound racism as a virtue, quite the contrary. I'm talking more about a film like Birth of a Nation, which has a viewpoint that, fortunately, is no longer considered socially acceptable.

The film was about figuring out where we come from and shit. They only showed a few god related stuff with the main woman character. Now when did wanting to understand how we are here and why become such a stupid topic? Just because you dont believe in a specific god or religion doesnt mean you are more right than anybody else. You cant explain why we are here today either. Science cant prove that and neither can faith in god. Dont believe if you dont want to. Just dont think youre better than everyone else for not thinking that.

kernel fleak "You can't explain why we are here today either." Well, that's an easy one: We have to be. What exists, exists because it must; our understanding of the reason is incidental. The equation that unspools reality in its infinite states is unbound and tautological; inasmuch, we are but one representation of its syntax, the evolving complexity of which gives way to ever increasing daedel semantics. No matter if the origin of our particular subset of existent form ushered forth from a hyper-advanced sentience or was the simple unfolding of incrementally compounding complexity unto a mirror state (wherein the configuration of the existent object duplicates the nature and function of reality itself, effectively doubling back reality into a Möbius strip of self-generative, self-modeling recursion), the fact is that reality is necessarily self-contained, self-caused, and self-propagating, encompassing all that is without boundary (what is real enough to exist would exist within reality, a tautology that precludes the possibility of being "beyond what is" [logically impossible]). Now, as far as giving relative, pragmatic and historically relevant explanations for our current state, that's highly speculative and as-of-yet unproven. But what can be said, without question, is that 1.) Reality exists, 2.) Reality is all that can be, 3.) Reality necessitates the promulgation of every possible state, and 4.) Something as unbound as reality necessarily is infinite in complexity. The moralistic takeaway, salient to Prometheus' theme: Creation is synchronous with the passage of time, and bears no prejudice or preference. While we can hope the forces that ushered us forth seek our maximized relative utility and the emotion such self-actualization realizes ("happiness"), the impetus can run the gamut from beatific conception, indifference, or most inimically outright hostility. It's the creator's prerogative alone, "creator" meant in its most unanthropomorphic sense (i.e. preceding state). We will simply respond as the equation dictates, and through the sequence of events give passage to one more manifestation-maladious, empyreal and every increment in between. We fear pain. Most of all, we fear the possibility that pain is more than a dispassionate eventuality marking the pole of a spectrum of states, the worst feasibility of which is that our pain is the aim. While Prometheus doesn't paint such a bleak relationship between humankind and the Engineers, it does hint that they are as unconcerned with our unique states as we are of the animals we selectively breed for food, resource, recreation or hobby. "There's nothing special about the creation of life" could be amended thusly: "There's nothing sacred about life." Such a sentiment can equally be a salve to fears of existential selectivity or a horror to fears of our indeterminate inevitabilies. And if "god" is synonymous with "reality," then it's true: He does not play favorites.

John Doe did you copy this from a movie or some scientist quote? omg you used big words to respond to me which means that you are absolutely right. how you proposed we are here and why we exist was based on rules of physics and sciences that make up the world we are in. but? what makes these rules work and function? i believe that a supernatural force beyond my human understanding created the physics and tools needed to make such a world possible. this force maybe made me because it can. and i both love it for for giving me the opportunity to live in this beautiful world and i fear it because of how beyond intelligent and powerful this force that i fell helpless and small when i think of it.. what you gave me is a theory as to how we are here, you based this theory on existing laws and rules that make this theory theoretically possible. but you failed to explain to me how these rules and laws came to exist. maybe the reason as to why i dont say that i dont believe in god is because the explanation as to why god is there is something that my mind cannot understand and process. my mind has always worked based on my surroundings. i understand things because i feel them with my senses. if the reason why god exists cannot be understood by the senses he gave me then i will never understand it. so i just believe that such a force exists and that it wants something from me and thats something my brain can manage. i try not to thing of the reason why he exists because i know im not gonna find that answer in the world he made me in. and sure you could disagree with me and look at me funny for believing in this, and i can look at you the same way for basing your entire existence on a theory that a. hasn't been proven yet and b. is based on rules of physics and sciences that you cant explain as to why they exist from the first place. so no you are not better than religious people for believing in such a force. you too believe in something that has not proven itself to exist. in Prometheus the main girl even said that the engineers might have made us but what made them remains uncertain. so both atheists and religious people have good claims as to why we exist. i myself can understand agnostics as they dont believe in any of the religions we have on earth but are open to accept the truth once its given to them, its atheists that i feel sorry for and i dont want to be placed in their shoes. the thought that i will end up having the same fate as child rapers and murderers is horrible to me. there just must be a higher purpose to our existence and it doesnt make me less of person then you are to believe in that

Godzilla was pretty good, at least the monsters were, the humans on the other hand...

Watchmen is a masterpiece you moron

Azazel sama yeah it was pretty good too, songs used were also good

Watchmen was perfect.

This movie was really good shut up

No it sounds like this

+Tommycruncher no the rogue one trailer alarm is the imperial alarm

Because this trailer was first released exclusively on apple website, istore or whatever it is, then people ripped it from on there to put up

Well, Alien fans thought it was disappointing because the film was marketed as a prequel to Alien when it really wasn't. That's not to say everyone else thought it was great, though, because Alien aside, the film was still disappointing because the trailers were great while the film itself was sort of poor. Not terrible, but not great either. And it raised more questions than it did answers and that was disappointing. And some of the dialogue and acting was poor.

Ahvi303 We've still yet to see part 2 you know.

cHeStEr5434 I know. That still doesn't excuse the mistakes of the first film.

Ahvi303 all movies have mistakes, to say this film is disappointing is in itself an overstatement; it grossed highly and was in the top 30 box office for 2012. Like the majority this film did not disappoint me in any way, it was visually appealing and the acting was key to Ridley's script styles; robotic and unnerving. If you have seen Blade Runner you would know what I mean, the whole purpose of the robotic acting was to make you question the humanity in the film; who could you trust? Like cHeStEr5434 said, the movie still has a second part, and when you say it doesn't excuse the mistakes of the first film you have to realise that the mistakes in your head are purely opinionated and not factual. Just because you thought the acting was poor and the dialogue was bad in parts does not qualify them as mistakes, I'm not saying you can't have an opinion, otherwise I wouldn't be allowed to criticise your comment. So you seriously have no basis on the matter of the film being a mistake, it was well thought out and left us thinking. People need to realise (like yourself) that directors have artistic license when it comes to their movies, not everyone is supposed to like it; this movie might be in the Alien universe but it is not Alien, it is it's own movie. The questions put forward were made to be answered in the sequels not the movie Alien itself, and so those that did not like the movie (I won't generalise Alien fans as I am one, and loved this film) who use the whole "Alien" card need to stop, and then you say "Alien aside" when you are really just going back around in a cycle; it was a purposeful move to leave things unanswered. The trailer itself was just showing interest in the movie by alerting people it was set in the same universe as Alien, many trailers have done this before and I doubt it will become a benign marketing ploy. All I'm saying is every single bloody comment is criticising the movie's actors and script, when in actuality they are annoyed it didn't end with a young CGI Ripley showing up out of nowhere for some much needed movie nourishment. He is adding to a universe crafted on the art of H.R Giger and numerous movies from Alien to Aliens to Alien vs Predator etc. why? Because Ridley doesn't want the Alien universe to die, just like Lucas didn't want the Star Wars universe to die and Gene Roddenberry when he didn't want the Star Trek universe to end. If anything you should be thankful he's made this movie for the next generation, I was glad this movie wasn't like Alien at all; because Alien should stay Alien and Prometheus should stay Prometheus. Sure it was marketed to look like Alien and sure people hated this film but if I went to your favourite movie's trailer, left a comment describing how all of the fans of a similar previous movie hated it (calling it a failed prequel and shoddy) wouldn't you too post criticism against my comment? This wasn't just against you, so when you see my essay of a comment don't take it the wrong way; those that hated the movie should at least confront the notion that it was a fantastic film and deserved whatever credit it got. As of now I am looking forward to the sequel.

Michael Ling To start, I wasn't saying the film was a financial disappointment. It wasn't. I'm saying it disappointed a lot of people because they were told to believe this film would be a prequel to Alien and what they ended up getting was an okay film that was barely connected to the Alien storyline and answered almost none of the questions it raised. That, however, is not why I was disappointed with it. I was disappointed with it because I thought it was poorly written and with the exception of Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender, it was poorly acted as well. That's the way I see it anyway. To say there's going to be a sequel isn't an excuse for all the unanswered questions the film raises, though, because for a long time this film wasn't going to get a sequel. We're lucky we're getting one now. A film like Prometheus should have felt more like a stand-alone film and left us with just one or two unanswered questions to make us want a sequel, but be satisfied with the first film as a whole if we didn't get one. And as a filmmaker myself, I completely understand what artistic license is. I wasn't expecting the film to directly tie in with Alien, though. I just wanted enough for me to feel like it's the same universe (which I sort of got). Like I said, though, a lot of people were expecting the film to tie directly into Alien because the marketing for the film and the producers said as much. It wasn't until after the film was released that people were told it wasn't supposed to directly tie into Alien and you can imagine how disappointing that can be: to be promised a prequel to a film you love only to be slapped in the face with a film that's far from what was promised. All this being said, though, keep in mind I don't hate Prometheus. I own the special edition Blu-Ray of the film and I'm looking forward to the sequel and I hope they answer the questions raised in the first film. As it stands, though, to me Prometheus is still disappointing but when I watch it I enjoy it. I just hope the sequel is one of those sequels that makes the first film even better.

I absolutely agree. I've never understood why so many people hate it.

from beyond

So many people have seen ALIEN(s) which they are in love with and only compare this movie to those movies. They don't appreciate it on it's own. As someone who didn't really enjoy the Alien movies as much as most people, i thoroughly enjoyed this film.

Yeah the movie implies too much and leave thing unanswered. That's lazy scriptwriting there. Why do you leave the audience to make up theories of what happened when the movie should have explained it in the first place.

Sergio Esteban Fritz Rieloff the most pretentious thing I’ve heard today

Raphaël T Judging a movie by one fucking trailer that barely shows anything is the definition of stupidity. Give the movie a chance. It's only been one fucking trailer. Also, just because the trailer to you was not as good as this one does not mean the movie will be terrible. The trailer did it's job but this generation loves to complain for absolutely no fucking reason at everything. Especially when they don't get what they want like little fucking children.

Settle the fuck down! What an ironic overreaction, complaining about other people complaining.

The Covenant trailer is way better than this. This trailer literally shows the entire movie, shot for shot.

Well fucking duh. Seeing a Covenant trailer I can already make a draft for the whole movie, including how almost each character will die. It's all there. Not considering it's another survival horror flick tries to live up fro original Alien. And don't worry. the whole picture will be there when a bazillion trailers, featuretes and tv spots will come out later.

A trailer is always edited by some random editing company that only gets a few select scenes to work with and edit into a coherent and eye catching trailer. So no. it's not a good or bad sign. It could just mean the trailer company sucks at making trailers.

+scannaunderscore1 Because it leaves all of the actual problems caused by an incoherent plot out?

My thoughts, is this film was always gonna have a sequel, which is starting filming this year supposedly. Actually, thats not my thoughts, thats truth. So just wait.

the engineers did create the xenomorph race, it just backfired on their asses.

That's because there's going to be a sequel.

2nd part is in 2016 lol

Equilibrium

yeah but i feel that the Convenant movie will rock

***** how dare you say resurrection was shitty... yes it was much better than AVP but not resurrection. Oh and we have the same name T_T there cannot be 2 of us.

Isaac Clarke you are insane if you this Alien Resurrection was better than this! It ruined the Aliens films without question.

Bender B. Rodriguez Great idea, terrible fucking movie. I was beyond hyped on the premise alone. Xenomorph comes about through alien microbial science gone wrong? Fucking genius!

Bender B. Rodriguez You're not a true Alien fan so shut the fuck up. It's obvious you haven't read the comics. This movie stayed true to the comic book Aliens: Apocalypse - The Destroying Angels published by Dark Horse Comics.

But if any of you is really trying to come to terms with this movie, like me, then I found a good answer. Watch it as a comedy.

Get Lost Hater!

haters going hate go cry somewhere else.

Jager Ruiz This page is NOT FOR the haters, it's for fans. The haters need to go cry somewhere else, such as a page dedicated to ripping on Prometheus.

How could you possibly know if the changes made to this film were for better or worse?

IngenFiles The original script(before the new director was brought in) was made available to the public. And it fixes so many of this movie's plot holes. And most of all, it actually makes what take place in the movie make sense.

i wouldnt call it disappointing..

disagree, great directing but the script might be one of the worst even written i have never seen a movie with so many plotholes, its insane the writers should be shot dead

cHeStEr5434 The fuck sense does taht even make, kid make some sense

googleslocik Try reading it again, if you're still having trouble ask a parent and/or other legal guardian to help you :)

cHeStEr5434 oh no, please elaborate on your amazing shill detecting abilities unless your moronic comment was just a pathetic random insult with no underlying meaning let me guess, everybody who dont like the shitty movie you do this week is a paid troll ?

To me it’s like the Star Wars prequels. Nice concepts but flawed execution. Like the implied idea that Jesus was a space engineer who got murdered by humans motivating the engineers to murder the abomination of their accidental creation is so fun to think about. It’s a really soft spot.

1. The thing that came out of the engineer's body was a Deacon, not a Xenomorph. Your theory about the Deacon being a Xenomorph Queen doesn't even make sense. We've seen a Xenomorph Queen before in Alien 3 and Resurrection. 2. The help message couldn't have been from David and Shaw because they were on LV-223, not LV-426. 3. "These "weapons" were Genetic stuff which breed those Alien Kraken(forgot the name) and these Breed Xenomorphs. The Xenomorph is perfect bc it was made ona Planet which needs all that to Survive. ((Bad eyes)-none included)" - That is so horrendously worded, I can't even figure out what you're trying to say. 4. "Hope you idiots get the meaning of the film now..." Maybe you should do 5 minutes of research before you call other people idiots. K, thanks, bye.

DestronTC I got this from wiki lol.

DestronTC Engineer + Kraken = Xenomorph it said aswell .. theres a picture of the rise of the Aliens. It also said the Deacon is the early version of the Xeblnomorph.

SiLveRsLiDerZz First off, Trilobite. The squid is called a Trilobite. www.prometheus2-movie.com/community/forums/topic/24800 The comments on this page are a great read. www.prometheusforum.net/discussion/3986/deacon-tomb-sculptor-comes-out-of-the-closet/p1 And here we see that Xenos have existed before Prometheus. And that Xenomorph evolution picture is fan-made speculation. Nothing official.

SiLveRsLiDerZz You were still off the message. This film took place on a completely different planet, and that can be confirmed on various websites and wiki pages.

Go home.

spector969 Miscegenation is killing all races. As for your opinion towards me, if I were not prepared for sheep to bleat awkward ad-hominens in my direction, would not have uttered this controversial truth.

It may be killing "races" but at least, we get more resistant children. Diversity in a gene pool is way better than homogeneity.

Ran Kasai Show me the research! All you've given is an opinion. I an the other hand can give you studies of lower mean intellect, persistence of genetic disorders, such as sickle cell anemia as well as cancers and on, ad-nausium in hybrids of the white and black taxonomic groups. If all you have is your opinion, it is best not to utter it as fact. My statements are backed by studies that are by the nature of the NWO deliberately not topping the GOOGLE search results, but they are pier reviewed, scientific studies.

spector969 Anyone with half a brain is laughing at you right now... Do you realize the extent of your ignorance... Where to begin with the difference between taxonomic groups and familial genetic proximity.... The sad thing is that half of this planet shares your intellectual capacity and 49% of the rest is either too brainwashed, uncaring or scared to disagree with your Pavlovian response which stands in contradiction to all strategic survival methodology.... As for your personal attack.... Man to man (and I call you a man with a great deal of reservation). You are a f@cking coward who would not dare to say "F@ck your mother" to my face... I will not stand for this.... Were you toe to toe with me now; you would be bleeding profusely from newly formed orifices. YOU WILL NEVER BRING MY MOTHER INTO THIS IN SUCH A MANNER AGAIN YOU SICK FUCK!

Lol

yes exaggerate, there's some really bad films out there but sure Prometheus was the worst movie you seen in a while. People either complain too much nowadays or are on some heavy duty drugs
