I stopped watch Prometheus for being to slow and I can tell this movie has nothing much to offer.
I am very impressed by Aliens and how they imagined technology in the future. Just compare it with other tech. movies from the 70s. Actually, compare it with movies showing computers from the 80's and it is still much better. Though I am not sure which one I saw, Alien or Aliens, it was the one where Ripley gets out of the spaceship at the very beginning of the movie.

How is Anti Trust? I wanted to watch that movie but I felt its just a bad movie to make a quick buck

A lot of people that have very focused knowledge in a certain specialized subject tend to have bigger lapses in "common sense", especially under stress. Not that there weren't really stupid lapses or that it was a perfect movie, just saying.No common sense whatsoever.

Re: What was the last movie you've seen?
Speaking of disappointing films with irrational protagonists, I watched The Lost World: Jurassic Park. It's a guilty pleasure mostly because the bit with the T.Rex in downtown San Diego is pretty cool and there's a ton of new dinosaurs. I also kind of liked JP3 though. 
Re: What was the last movie you've seen?
I was reading the Lost World book but it didn't grip me the way a few other Crichton novels did.

I think he may have been "forced" into writing it. A lot of the characters who died in Jurassic Park were suddenly alive again.Pulsar_t wrote:I was reading the Lost World book but it didn't grip me the way a few other Crichton novels did.

I said "it's no Hackers", which means Hackers was WAY better. Anti-Trust isn't bad but it's not incredible, either.RCBH928 wrote: @Repo Man

Yeah kind of felt that way to me to. The whole Predator style adaptive camouflage thing at the end was just to far out there for meLuke wrote:I think he may have been "forced" into writing it.

Wish the first JP movie had stuck closer to the book things were so much more interesting. Plus I liked Hammond more when he was an asshole using his grandchildren to promote his park then the Santa Clause like individual they made him out to be in the movie. The last bit with him in the book was also priceless
Anyone else notice Jurassic World(JP 4) which is slated for 2015? Posted about it a few pages back. Had dismissed any chance of a sequel after the last batch of rumors a few years back but apparently it is happening. Some "interesting" casting choices so far. Only returning character is Henry Wu. Hopefully they aren't doing the whole human dinosaur hybrid idea they were tossing around a while back sounded pretty idiotic but that could be a reason for Wu to be back
