The more trailers I saw the less I expected
Posted By: scarab	Date: 6/8/12 10:42 a.m.
In Response To: Well then... (Mid7night) : Reading everyone's (varied) responses, Prometheus is quickly falling from : "must see in theater" to "meh, wait for Netflix..." : :-\ I thought that it wouldn't be good. I even thought that it might be bad but I still hoped that it would have something fresh. It was just a disappointment. Some people mistake it for an intelligent film because it mentions 'deep' issues like: where did we come from? Buts a film is neither intelligent or deep if it just asks the question. It needs to provide an intelligent insight into the issue b4 it can be labeled as deep or intelligent. Otherwise you can just list a set of 'deep' questions and consider yourself a genius. for example this post mentions: life, death, origins, sacrifice, heroism, God, eternity, moral choices, fate, existence, love, gray characters, duty, genocide, science vs religion, difficult choices, etc, etc, ad infinitum, ad nauseum Obviously this post is intelligent and contains deep issues.
