Does this mean that gun grabbers have won in the future? I mean, come on they use a flamethrower to kill the infected guy? That's just mean. Death by flamethrower? ....fuck.

Quoted:
The flamethrower is in homage to previous Alien movies. Looked good on film. Cant remember what reason was given in the original Alien for there having a flamethrower on a space tug. It was an improvised weapon. They had actual firearms, but chose not to use them for reasons already stated (hull punctures are bad, mmmkay). They cobbled together a flamethrower, a motion detector and the cattle prod thing thinking they could chase the alien into an airlock. They didn't want to kill it on the ship out of fear any wound they dealt it would cause the acid blood to breach the hull. |

Quoted: I just looked it up.......woohoo  Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: In before some tard says they liked it.  Sorry....I got a thing for Michael Fassbender. "Shame" is the movie you're looking for.   I just looked it up.......woohoo It's a gratuitous sausage fest. In fact, I think Fassbender's wiener got top billing at Sundance. His junk had more screen time than every Xenomorph in every Aliens film, ever. |

The movie sucks entirely because of Damon Lindelof. If you look at the story before this dipshit fucked it up, it actually made sense. Instead this dumb fuck decided to turn it into the worst season of Lost, and removed anything that actually provided an explanation for the story while adding stupid shit like them taking off their helmets on an alien planet.
Damon Lindelof is a cancer to every project he works on. |

Quoted: I would have taken off my helmet rather than walk into a flame thrower Good point. I can think of a few ways I'd rather be killed, then by a flamethrower inside a spacesuit. (The suit probably added a few minutes of searing pain) In one of the earlier scenes there was a guy with a rifle. What happened to him? |

Nothing says FUCK OFF AND DIE like a flamethrower...... Truth about the flamethrower, I'd love to have one.... but nonetheless, Prometheus sucked shit balls through a straw......... absolute festering fucking garbage....... seriously, Ridley Scott should cap himself for shamelessly shitting out that stinking abortion...... |

Weyland's security team had guns, flamethrowers can be used to de-ice equipment or burn off organic material.
Quoted:
In before some tard says they liked it. On the contrary, narrow minded people incapable of using the information in the film to draw their own conclusions are the ones that hated it. I liked it, but I also don't expect movies to blatantly and explicitly tell me everything, which is what modern audiences expect. In movies where things are explained people don't pay attention at all and every movie thread on this forum for example is filled with people asking questions that were answered in films but they weren't paying attention to. If you need the film explained in detail watch Comicbookgirl19's videos

It's not the unanswered questions (which aren't even that mysterious), it's the insanely stupid plot holes, terrible over-used and silly plot devices, horrendous characters and "defies all traces of human sense" actions the writing puts them through. That movie is insultingly stupid and poorly conceived from the outset, and never lets go. Instead of asking for an intelligent viewer, it insults the intelligence of the ones it has. Don't try to turn this into "I'm smarter than everyone". This is a case of "I wanted to like this cat shit on a hibachi so bad I'll excuse plot holes and TV-grade writing". It's been parodied and made great sport of by youtube comedy channels relentlessly not because it's deep and mysterious - it's because it sucks sweaty balls. Worse, it takes a steaming putrid shit on the elegantly perfect movie upon which it's based - Alien. |

Worse, it takes a steaming putrid shit on the elegantly perfect movie upon which it's based - Alien. Everything in Prometheus makes a lot more sense when you accept it's a rich asshole funding a bunch of future liberal idealists on an insane mission. It's not blue collar space workers like Alien, and it's not a military expedition like Aliens. Add in the fact that Charlize Theron may have at best not given a shit about it and picked. "No weapons, we're a research mission" and dumbass taking off his helmet clearly shows these people are stupid space hippies, most of the criticism of the character's stupid decisions disregards that people can be experts in their fields but have terrible common sense and be incredibly naive. Everything you need to know about the film and make reasonable inferences and assumptions is in there. Prometheus' mistake is that it assumes that the audience will actually pay attention and be able to piece things together for themselves. It's not a deep and mysterious movie if you comprehend the film and have some basic understanding of prior material and the religious overtones throughout. American audiences are degenerating into wanting to watch the equivalent of "Ass: the movie". People who hate the film generally wanted to see more Colonial Marines fighting xenomorphs, disliked the anti-religious overtones of the film, or don't like the idea of using their brains when watching a film; then constructed their arguments based upon those feelings. There's going to be at least one more film, so maybe you'll get answers to those "plot holes". |

Throwback to the usage in the original Aliens movies. And I would guess, for sterilization. Not much bacteria/virus/germs can survive that high of temp. |

Quoted:
Why you no like flamethrower?!? I know right, I was wondering, what practical application does this have in a space mission? Shit is beyond me Because sometimes you need to set things on fire........from a distance. 
Personally I can always see an application for a flamethrower......except maybe swimming |

There's going to be at least one more film, so maybe you'll get answers to those "plot holes". That don't even approach a reasonable explanation of the shitty plot holes, stupid contrived "Lost-esque" needless drama, the miserably flat and uninteresting characters, the entire setup which in and of itself is so fucking retarded you have to check your intellect at the first 10 minutes of the movie to even begin to enjoy it. Anyone with a brain knew as soon as they saw Guy Pearce as Weyland he was going to re-appear in the movie, everyone with a brain knew the elaborate and silly surgery machine was going to come back into the movie at a critical time. It was clumsy, and stupid, and it's an insult to anyone who's seen good sci-fi, or even good movies period. The characters didn't just act stupidly, they acted suicidally and did so again and again and not just the idealists. The pessimistic character (asshole map maker who got lost at his first chance to do so) practically stood up in the first 30 seconds of his screen time to yell "I'm a prick for no good reason, and I'll be one of the first casualties". Everyone else just acted like a cardboard cut-out of a character, completely projecting their every move so that a 6 year old could do the "who lives/who dies" game and probably guess the correct order. Even David was a pathetic re-hash of Alien's "Ash" with again a nearly suicidal recklessness and homicidal streak (that in this movie actually makes no sense given he has no clue what the bio-goo is capable of). Just throwback laziness because the film makers think you're fucking stupid. If you need no other explanation at all why this dung taco of a flick is stupid, just base it on this: The engineers visited many ancient cultures sprinkled throughout human history and apparently observed and interacted with early people (that they seeded) as gods or higher beings, and in doing so gave them a star map not to their planet or solar system, but to their secret weapons facility where they were building biological doomsday devices to kill the very people they're laying out the map for. Yeah......soooo fucking intellectual and deep, man. Soooo mysterious. Maybe you can find a youtube video by some Red-Bull slurping brainac who can take 5 minutes off of their 7-11 job to explain how that's actually not a retarded plot setup and is actually really deep and means something other than what it was spelled out to mean. The hack idiot that wrote this dumpster of fail hasn't written anything but convoluted garbage. This was no exception. |

"We're on a trillion dollar space mission. Let's hire the crew from an advert on Craig's List a half hour before we leave." Yeah. Loved how Fifield and Milburn freaked out and ran away the first time they (Scientists) run across something scientific. "There's a mumified alien there, screw this shit, I'm outta here!!!" |
