It's down to the high 70s on Rotten Tomatoes. Does a crappy third act kill this movie? The film "Sunshine" collapsed on itself during the last act, but it's still one of my favorite science fiction films. Have any of you seen Prometheus? Is the last act so bad that the entire movie is ruined?

Yes, I have seen it but I don't want to give spoilers until it releases for everyone else in the US on Friday.

To be vague:

My biggest gripe is it tried to pass off as being incredibly intellectual and deep. It brought up plenty of interesting topics, but then let them all go and never did a thing to address any of them. Some plot points make NO sense either.

It's absolutely worth seeing, though.

Good. Go see the movie with an open mind and I'll be happy to talk with you after that :)

I didn't want to watch this movie, but about three days ago someone convinced me to go.

Good. At the very least it's visually jaw-dropping.

Yeah. Not really my type of movie though, I -- unpopularly -- think its going to bore me sh!tless.

Random Char: "OH LOOK. SOME CREEPY SORT OF LIFEFORM. LETS TOUCH IT"

Me: "FML".

I think it's based on the viewer's expectations.

If they're expecting a brilliant masterpiece, then yeah, I imagine they'll be let down. But, if they're just looking for a solid sci-fi film, I think they'll absolutely get their money's worth. My review should be up in a few hours so we can chat in greater detail there. I don't want to use this thread for all of my key points ;)

Hello new best friend. Don't try to run. The guinea pigs are trained to kill if you try to run. >:)

By the time you get this message, I'll be in the dead zone. It came a little sooner than we thought, but this means you won't be able to send a message back. So, I just wanted to let you know that I don't need the message because I know everything you wanna say. Just remember it takes eight minutes for light to travel from sun to Earth, which means you'll know we succeeded about eight minutes after we deliver the payload. All you have to is look out for a little extra brightness in the sky. So if you wake up one morning and it's a particularly beautiful day, you'll know we made it. Okay, I'm signing out and I'll see you in a couple years.
