Prometheus Review on MVP Mutant Radio — Prometheus
Prometheus (2012)
Join the Mutantville Players Streebo and Brento for a full on spoiler discussion of Ridley Scott’s Prometheus. We loved it and we spend the better part of the next hour telling you why! We’re H.R. Giger fanboys and Stanley Kubrick die-hards and we do our best to bring up every point we can think of in this one. The featured song for today is “Area 52” by Donnie Christianson. Join the conversation by following us on Twitter @MVP and join our newsletter on http://mutantville.com *Visit Donnie Christianson at http://www.reverbnation.com/donniechristianson
Could have done without the dummies comment but thanks for the info. The Friday total was unavailable at the time of our recording. Thanks for listening. **Streebo
Cool show interesting to listen to someone talk about the movie who didn’t want to trash it cause it wasn’t a straight up Alien movie or couldn’t follow the story. I loved the movie too.The first time I walked out of the theater that excited about what I saw in years!
Thanks for the comments, Dr.Mowamba. I’m glad you enjoyed the discussion. We had a lot of fun watching and then talking about Prometheus. I’m contemplating going back for an IMAX screening sometime soon! Thanks for listening!
This was a fun discussion. I too really enjoyed Prometheus. I think this one will linger in the theater for quite awhile, and make a healthy profit. Should be well over 50 mil for the weekend.
Movies like Prometheus that attempt to be something beyond just a regular movie, take a while to digest. There are a bunch of sub-plots that people are missing. The parent/child, creator/product stuff, etc. Gonna need a Director’s Cut and package with all the extras and extensions for everyone to fully appreciate this one.
NOTE: You don’t have to say, “spoiler” when referencing 2001. It made me laugh though!
Hey Mike – Thanks for checking out the podcast and thanks for coming over from the Rogan board. Very cool. You’re right – even though Prometheus didn’t come in number one this weekend – it did take in a decent gross so hopefully it goes on to make a decent profit. I always want to see wildly imaginative films like this succeed and thrive because it opens the doors for other creative films. I can’t wait to devour the blu ray for this one. The visual imagery of this film is a pure feast. Thanks for the comments and thanks for listening!
3.5 million for just MIDNIGHT you dummies…it made 21.4 million total friday, on par for a 55+ million dollar opening weekend
3.5 million for midnight on an R rated sci-fi film is ENORMOUS
