Why is that, do you think? What keeps you coming back if it's bad?

One thing, and one thing only: the visuals. It's a gorgeous, stylish, sumptuous, visually intoxicating movie.

It's dumb as a bag of hammers, though. Maybe I should start watching it on mute.

:lol:

Agree completely. It's a beautiful movie to look at. I've got pretty high hopes for this new one.

Play some cool tunes while watching it on mute and you can make your own music videos.

I'm going to imax the shit out of this.

I remember Prometheus came out right after I got out of the hospital in 2012. My eyes literally couldn't keep up with the visuals on the screen. Strange times.

I'm still struggling with going to an alien planet and sticking my head into a hatching egg. I feel like there would be rules against that sort of thing.

I've always loved that one of the two survivors in the first Alien was a cat.
