Through episode 4

[9/10 · 31 January 2018]

This is an outstanding service to ordinary people. Much of the revelations are known and public knowledge but ordinary people do not know what the big picture looks like. Thank you very much.

Prometheus (I) (2012)

Awful science fiction ignores basic science, professionalism, and suspense

[1/10 · 5 November 2012]

Prometheus 2012 a freaking Ridley Scott direction and it is the worst POS Science Fiction. How a movie with a half a billion dollar budget could ignore basic science, basic professionalism, and even basic horror clichés is beyond me. Ex: The crew finds a construction (alien sentience) the size of Cleveland. Loses two engineers (that just had to touch the cute alien). Ignores basic safety protocol and has to keep searching while the monsters off them one by one. Basic horror cliché: They split up and travel down different dark passages.

Insane robots (the 3 laws have been in existence close to 60 years)

Supposed scientists ignoring basic protocol, Crew members abandoning posts to get laid. An hour after a self inflicted c-section the scientist is walking down the dark passage.

I am appalled. Scott should know better.
