ChrisReeve 04/22/23 10:11:12 PM #1:	I'm not saying it's a perfect movie, but it's basically Ridley Scott's attempt at telling the story of the Anunnaki set in the Aliens cinematic universe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anunnaki https://youtu.be/8uM9wnNqt-A https://youtu.be/04jJToJdwss tl;dr/tl;dw version: The Anunnaki came to Earth to mine gold, because the atmosphere on their home planet, Nibiru, was badly damaged. They needed gold to repair their atmosphere. They initially used the Igigi as basically slaves to mine gold for them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igigi But the Igigi revolted, so the Anunnaki decided to create a new slave race to do the mining for them. Enki of the Anunnaki is tasked with creating this slave race: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enki#Making_of_man But Enki did more than just create a slave race. He gave these new beings the divine spark (basically souls), which means these new beings could some day become greater than the Anunnaki. This pissed off Enlil (Enki's brother), and Enlil wanted to wipe out all humans with a flood: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atra-Hasis The Atra-Hasis is the Babylonian version of the story of Noah and the great flood. If you know about the Anunnaki, it gives you a lot more context for what Ridley Scott was doing with Prometheus. --- https://youtu.be/3GflKh9jlCg https://youtu.be/oPS3gaQJJFQ <cite>ChrisReeve posted [p:973014937] in Prometheus...

C-zom 04/23/23 7:19:56 PM #15:	That was the goal, yeah. Watching Prometheus and Covenant for what they are barely showcases 1% of that lore. It's all vaguely implied (Cut scenes and elements from the first script for Prometheus literally justify their extinction of humanity for killing Jesus, who was an Engineer.) Prometheus got butchered in the editing room and the multiple screenplay rewrites did it no favors. The original was ham fisted but actually established all this lore. The released film has black goo, metaphor, and wooden characters. And don't get me started on Covenant. There's a reason why an ancient Ridley Scott who was owed all the favors in the world by Hollywood was stopped after Covenant and told he couldn't continue the trainwreck, so he went on to produce Raised by Wolves which retells the same concept again. --- Since only from below can one better see the heights. http://i.imgur.com/OhZgm.jpg <cite>C-zom posted [p:973031500] in Prometheus...

Commemorating the world that started with Ridley Scotts 1979 blockbuster sci-fi movie, its also a celebration of Sigourney Weaver and her iconic role as Ellen Ripley. This year is a little special when it comes to the legacy of this space-bound icon, as Weaver explained why the ship has sailed on her ever playing that role again. Our sibling publication Total Film sat down with Weaver in a discussion that yielded the reasoning why shes through with her days fighting off Xenomorphs. Sadly, a little more salt is added to the wound, as the Avatar franchise star revealed the one Alien project that she would have been game for an appearance: If you needed any more reason to be angry that Neil Blomkamps Alien 5 died in development, this Alien Day is a special one for you. In a movie that aimed to not only restore Hicks and Newt to the land of the living, but also bring Sigourney Weaver back to the terrifying saga that saw her as its lead for four films, the proposed sequel was set to give fans everything they supposedly wanted. Of course, a choice had to be made among the top brass at 20th Century Studios, and Ridley Scotts underrated Alien: Covenant was already in the works. Not even the fact that James Cameron and Sigourney Weaver loved Blomkamps idea could change the tide, and history wound up delivering the result you can see today. As a staunch fan of that particular story, as well as Scotts prequel saga in general, I cant say that living in a world where Covenant exists is a bad thing. And yet, Im of the mind that both movies could have coexisted, hypothetically giving Alien fans more of a good thing. Much like Neill Blomkamps aborted Robocop legacy-quel, his Alien 5 concept will live on as one of those prospects that fans would love to get their hands on. Any sorts of treatments and/or concept art for those two movies alone would be such a hot topic, were they ever to circulate among the respective fandoms. If there was a contest about which one would spark the greater interest, Sigourney Weavers new remarks would undoubtedly be the deciding factor. Honestly, who doesnt want to read Ellen Ripleys potential last battle against her extraterrestrial arch-nemesis after knowing that it was so good it would have given us one more round of Weaver magic?... --- https://youtu.be/yWCaHRV32YY https://youtu.be/Ju35JlupNVE <cite>GaryGensler posted [p:973103988] in Prometheus...

Commemorating the world that started with Ridley Scotts 1979 blockbuster sci-fi movie, its also a celebration of Sigourney Weaver and her iconic role as Ellen Ripley. This year is a little special when it comes to the legacy of this space-bound icon, as Weaver explained why the ship has sailed on her ever playing that role again. Our sibling publication Total Film sat down with Weaver in a discussion that yielded the reasoning why shes through with her days fighting off Xenomorphs. Sadly, a little more salt is added to the wound, as the Avatar franchise star revealed the one Alien project that she would have been game for an appearance: If you needed any more reason to be angry that Neil Blomkamps Alien 5 died in development, this Alien Day is a special one for you. In a movie that aimed to not only restore Hicks and Newt to the land of the living, but also bring Sigourney Weaver back to the terrifying saga that saw her as its lead for four films, the proposed sequel was set to give fans everything they supposedly wanted. Of course, a choice had to be made among the top brass at 20th Century Studios, and Ridley Scotts underrated Alien: Covenant was already in the works. Not even the fact that James Cameron and Sigourney Weaver loved Blomkamps idea could change the tide, and history wound up delivering the result you can see today. As a staunch fan of that particular story, as well as Scotts prequel saga in general, I cant say that living in a world where Covenant exists is a bad thing.And yet, Im of the mind that both movies could have coexisted, hypothetically giving Alien fans more of a good thing. Much like Neill Blomkamps aborted Robocop legacy-quel, his Alien 5 concept will live on as one of those prospects that fans would love to get their hands on. Any sorts of treatments and/or concept art for those two movies alone would be such a hot topic, were they ever to circulate among the respective fandoms. If there was a contest about which one would spark the greater interest, Sigourney Weavers new remarks would undoubtedly be the deciding factor. Honestly, who doesnt want to read Ellen Ripleys potential last battle against her extraterrestrial arch-nemesis after knowing that it was so good it would have given us one more round of Weaver magic?...</quote> ...
