I quite liked Prometheus too. But imo it's far from perfect and not comparable to 2001: A Space Odyssey. In some ways, I find Prometheus quite clever, in others surprisingly dumb.
There's a website dedicated to that

@Völler I meant how both women blend good as one character
I haven't seen it yet even though it has been on my to do list for years. I just really need to have the time and be in the mood for 3,5 hours Tarkovsky.

But yea I get ya, I've been postponing to see that one for a while. I actually decided to watch Zerkalo instead just because it's less than a 2h movie.
Afaik there are two versions out there, 3 hours and 3,5 hours (Criterion's).

Did you seriously just compare Prometheus and 2001: A Space Odyssey? And drew parallels between Ridley Scott and Kubrik too? Daaaamn
Prometheus is just a piece of good old shallow entertainment, still milking the Alien franchise 30+ years later. No reason to speak of mysteries or unanswered Qs in that one besides the most obvious ones that are there so that Prometheus 2 can continue the milking process. It's having the plot driven by illogical and downright stupid actions by empty characters that brings the movie down. If anything, it's the complete lack of any sort of depth or hidden message that is the issue there ... being as literal, obvious and simplistic as its creator, tbh.
Odyssey is a timeless masterpiece, Prometheus is a pop-corn flick that is forgotten as soon as the final credits are on.

been there done that, bootlegging included. trust me, in time you will realize you were just lying to yourself. I don't know how you ended up there but if at all possible (and just about anything is), don't waste another second and start planning how you are gonna get back here again.

Prometheus was one of the stupidest movies I've watched the few years. If you're going to make a brainless action/science-fiction flick with awesome costumes and action scenes, that's fine by me. But Prometheus, as it seems to me at least, wants us to believe it's a smartly thought out movie with a complex backstory, with which it just fails miserably.
What's worse is that so many of the at times facepalming stupidity could have been avoided so easily.

sweety, nothing presumptuous about it - as I said, been there, done that. Only reason to stay in them developing countries is a profitable criminal enterprise. Outside of that, given enough time, one is bound to have only regrets left.

Because your single subjective experience in one country applies as a general rule for everyone in all developing countries
I can advise A. not to play the lottery because I did and didn't win anything. Technically, that'd be presumptuous too but not really.
