A remake of Total Recall is on the way too

[alreadypacked]

I can't see that going much past the first season

Now that Game of Thrones is finish season 2, it's something to watch.

One season will do

Exactly. The plot sometimes was little more than a horror B movie: 'Hey let's split up' or 'Let's see what's in that spooky basement'.
Prometheus lost me the moment the 'scientists' took their helmets off when the air is revealed to be breathable. I mean, would anyone sane do that ??


Now all Ridley Scott needs to do is ruin Blade Runner....

SC was talking about James Cameron Shirley?

Anyway it's not as if they rocked up and whipped their helmets off, the other members were freaking out when he started to do it.

Taking helmets off is important for non-plot related reasons. Simply put - it looks better on film if you can see the actors faces.

His direction is still spot on, it's just the stories he's telling are teaming piles of overly sentimental crap

I'm waiting for the 2063 remake of "Casablanca".

It's a real classic.

I still waiting for Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot 2, but get the feeling I'll be waiting a while

That's the thing 3 days later and I'm still thinking about it, the opening scene is haunting me!

There's loads of fan based theories circling on the net but I can't talk about them here without revealing spoilers.

I think I understand the opening scene but some of the conclusions they reached in the film as to where stuff came from and what it was for - it didn't seem to me like they had enough evidence.

Saw it at the weekend. Not sure if I liked it or not. Might need to watch it again.

I saw it in 3D, the special effects were excellent. Michael Fassbender was very good also. The plot had a number of holes though and "how did they reach that conclusion" moments that left me feeling a little cheated. Still thinking about it.

In preparation for going to see Prometheus I watched the original Alien at the weekend. It's been a while since I've seen it and it's still very good. I also watched Aliens and The Terminator and I was struck by how good James Cameron used to be. I think after Terminator 2 it all went downhill.

Terminator2 remains one of my favourite films. Apart from the cheesy liquid metal effects, it's remarkably undated too.
