Steve9347 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 QUOTE (Brian @ May 17, 2012 -> 08:31 AM) Mann was a prosthetic Actually, they were both CGI - they wore "pasties" and then the studio added nipples. I don't really see the reason, since they just look topless anyway, obvoiusly. http://popwatch.ew.com/2011/07/29/olivia-w...-nude-fake-cgi/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you actually expect that movie to be good? I'm not sure how a movie that was always going to be bad can be disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 John Carter was 5-10X worse. Same lead actor. Battleship was fine for what it was....super loud, little character development, completely unrealistic or plausible, Michael Bay knockoff or "lite" but good summer popcorn movie fun. Rihanna was actually pretty good, in her supporting role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what Lindelof says anyway. It is a prequel. Prometheus trailers have already shown the Space jockey suit/pilot cockpit that is in the abandoned alien ship in the original movie. This movie is going to explain why that ship got there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent seen Alien in forever and is a shame because I like it the best of the 4. Not sure if I should rewatch before or after Prometheus.

Not sure if I should rewatch before or after Prometheus. Prometheus is a stand-alone prequel, so watching Alien isn't a prerequisite. Ridley Scott said that it surprised him that it surprised him that nobody asked why a ship with a cargo full of alien eggs and a dead alien(space jockey) was just sitting there sending out a distress signal. It is such a small part of Alien, they go into the ship, a facehugger jumps on John Hurt, and they leave the ship with an alien. Nobody bothered to ask why it was there, hence Ridley Scott is gonna tell us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeNukeEm Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) I expected battleship to basically be one massive, glorious battle between the combined might of the US Navy and some whatever-ish aliens. Lots of CGI, lots of s*** exploding, lots of just plain awesomeness. I've always had a huge interest in the naval side of world war 2, which was kind of the last hurrah of the battleship and ship-to-ship battles. I figured this would put a modern spin on that kind of stuff. Also, Liam Neeson was an admiral, so I thought it'd be cool to see him in locked in combat with some generic alien dudes. What I got was, without spoiling anything (But who cares), the entire US Navy minus two destroyers aeing locked out of the battle by a force field. There was a 3rd Japanese destroyer, but yea... two of the human boats are sunk right off the bat, so its basically a ship not too much larger than the big coast guard boat that parks at Navy Pier for the Mackinaw race every year. That's it. Liam Neeson basically sits on the deck of the Nimitz shrugging his shoulders. No epicness, no huge awesome battle, just boring lameness.

Soxbadger Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Based on the previews that was the part I couldnt understand. Wouldnt people just rather have watched 1-2 hours of a huge navy battle between 2 sides (Us v aliens, whatever)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
