The Thing prequel is not that bad.
It too was a film that was screwed up by twitchy suits.
The character building was cut, the lovely practical effects were scribbled on with CGI and the ending was buggered up but at it's core is a much better film than Prometheus and much more respectful to the original film than Prometheus was to Alien.
The Thing prequel was really screwed up. Though it does seem like it could be salvaged easily. Reading about the original version of the film before negative test screenings, it sounds much better. Also, the less bad CGI the better, considering that they already had practical effects set up. The original ending could have been cool sans the "tetris" board. I hope a Director's Cut is released one day.
That'd be a mildly interesting twist for Prometheus 2... though it kinda elevates the Space Jockeys ridiculously. With that in mind, they'd be the seeming makers of our makers, making humans pretty irrelevant, which begs the question what makes us fit for termination?...DuracellEnergizer said:
One is that the Engineers are emissaries of the Space Jockeys or something like that, and that their Space Jockeyesque suits are some form of bioengineered outfit that allows them to interface with Jockey technology.
