InfraSuperman: Prometheus is awful. Extremely flashy and stupid, at times downright insulting. And the forced connections to the Alien franchise hurt both that series and Prometheus itself.
I'd recommend watching the Swiss movie
Cargo. It starts off being very similar to Alien and then goes the story into a very different direction, but still with the same sort of atmosphere and style.
By the way... I don't think Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was all that bad...
Haven't heard about Cargo but will look into it, thanks.
The last two Sci-Fi movies I've seen were
Europa Report and
Gravity and they were very disappointing, especcially "Gravity" for which I had high hopes. Europa Report was a horror movie with a standard script and Gravity was just a thriller where imcompetent Astronauts constantly miscalculate stuff.
One of my favourite Sci-Fi movies isn't even regarded as true Sci-Fi by some, so I often don't mention it, it's
Enemy Mine. Does anybody still remember it?
Oh and ontopic:
Yes, Indiana Jones 4 was bad. I've seen worse, but the aliens there gave me the rest.
Breja: It really is insultingly bad. It's visually beautiful, and has great music, but as far as the story goes it's one of the dumbest things I've seen, made all the worse by the fact it's very pompous, comvinced that it's actually very smart.
Yikes!
