I watched a bizarre movie last night. It was called
Prometheus and is apparently a cult movie, whatever that means.
Prometheus and is apparently a cult movie, whatever that means.
The movie ends with an octopus dying, while mating with an unwilling man-like alien, who also dies. But he gives birth to an octopus with a pointy head & a screechy throat, while the background music switches to a familiar sound track.
The movie is set in 2089, where people fly ships at the speed of light but do not have drones to do their investigation for them. They investigate an eerie looking mound/cave on an ugly grey planet they have never been to before, by walking around and touching everything. The explorers discover an alien head in mound/cave and decide to bring it back into their ship to examine it. In the lab on their ship, a scientist runs electricity through the alien's head to revive it. Obviously they have not figured the right voltage to run through an alien head. So the alien's skull explodes, the brain pops out and hits something and splashes all over the screen!
A couple of other explorers inside a cave in the alien mound pet a snake-like creature they discover, which obviously kills them both, very painfully, a few moments later. The snake like creature, not satisfied with mangling the poor guys, in a sort of encore, straightens out and shoots head-first into their mouths and shoots out from the other side of their skull.
Unbelievably, a couple have sex in the night and the woman is pregnant and ready to deliver the very next morning. Except she is about to deliver an octopus. It turns out that she has been impregnated by her husband who has been infected by alien goo. This alien goo produces octopus like creatures. The woman's husband, who she loves a lot, dies because of the alien goo infection. But strangely, even after learning that a human robot deliberately infected her husband with alien goo, she remains quite friendly with the human robot, going out on joint missions and so on.
Then, there was an alien ship whose pilot sits in the cockpit and grips what looks like a gigantic phallus and points to planet Earth with it (which probably tells you that some movie makers in Hollywood have not completely grasped the meaning of the word 'cockpit' in an aircraft context). An actress as talented as Charlize Theron has a role similar to Freida Pinto's in Planet of the Apes. Most times she is in a gray suit. She speaks only a couple of times through the entire movie. Absolutely bizarre.
To top it all, the damn movie runs for 2hours and 30 minutes.
This morning I realized that this movie needs one to read a user manual to understand it. I found the best possible user manual on the internet. Click Prometheus Details to see it.
PS: It is the only user manual I have read with phrases like 'like a donkey's dick flapping in
