That's one hell of a mutation. Dude gets shot, torched, and crushed by a vehicle that probably weighs a few tons at least, and was still squirming. God damn Gregori Rasputin in space.
Yeah definitely Rasputin in space, this damn thing just couldn't die. It's scary to thing that there could be organisms like that out there in the universe that is far beyond any explanation, really creepy ☹
I thought the movie was fun, I don't get the worship for Idris Elba's character though? He was a decent man, illustrated by him ramming the alien ship. But there were other better acted and more interesting characters. Charlize's character and Elizabeth Shaw. David. Even Fifield.
@@thespacesbetweenstudio3346 yeah but then again taking off in an unknown planet, lol i mean, maybe it was never told in the movie what happened to them, but most likely they just died because of A) they ran out of fuel and just died stranded in the middle of nowhere without enough food supplies and B) maybe got attacked by those Prometheus aliens somewhere

Fifield has alien strength, I remember that in aliens while they tried to flee as they couldn´t open the steel door welded in the lock by the colonial marine Vasquez they bended it with distributed attacks :O, the helmet is well made but not so long ago against a physically superior being who does not hesitate to continue attacking until he dies unlike humans, what android ash said that his lack of remorse could only be compared to his hostility, he´s a perfect survivor...
@@miming3679 Push from above (typical attack tactic of an alien, surprise and lunge) transferred the strong moment of inertia to the body and as the head was the first thing that hit there, all the pressure was concentrated, if it had been a leg it would have been broken without problem
He was talking to the editing suite, they must have been huffed off their mash on qualuude pipes worse than our grandparents when they were making this.
A mutated, murderous Fifield who fails to respond to redio copies strangely appears out of nowhere right in front of the damn ship. Let's just open the freaking door with a warm welcome!
Fucking hilarious that Wallace had to be alerted to turn around and look at the completely mangled, recently missing then mysteriously reappeared crew member.
a bunch of deleted scenes you can find like Engeneer alien talking, original script says Vickers hired stupid scientist bcouse she hate her father and didnt belive in mission
You see one of your crew mates broken on the floor with a bizarre fetal (from satan's womb) position, what do you do? 1- Kick the thing with your foot 2- Give your back to it and warn someone else behind you despise having a comm chat 3- Patiently wait for it to stand up and try to reason with it, despise all the evident abominable mutation on his face 4- Wait for it to attack you 5- All of the above
You're a guy who works on space ships as a loader... You see a job offer that doesn't tell you _who_ you're working for, _where_ you will be going, for _how long_ you will be gone, nor the _purpose_ nor _expected risks_ of the job. Do you sign up for it? Or are you competent enough to have other jobs you could get instead?
How long do you think firefighters have to get dressed? Less than two minutes! This includes all of their gear, which can weigh from eighty to one hundred twenty pounds. So just a spacesuit, designed to be ultra light, itll be a jiffy
It's not a space suit. They're not going out into a vaccuum. There's plenty of air pressure, it's just not breathable. They only need something tight, and a helmet, not a bulky pressurised suit like someone fixing an antenna on the International Space Station.
@@jimbobeire For how many people complaining about how low everyone’s IQ is because it’s the “future”, don’t you think they’d have advanced space suits that auto pressurize and can easily be taken off and on again?
Probably because this scene was supposed to occur later in the film, when the crew are about to embark on the final mission back to the alien spacecraft, so they were all suited up due to that. In one of the old TV spots you can actually see a deleted clip that shows Shaw is the one driving the vehicle that runs over Fifield.
Actually, the captain didn't tell him to open the door. The guy asked someone else to open the door, and the captain was saying 'wait'. But they are a useless crew. That's not a big surprise considering the job offer from Vickers was 'take the money, don't ask questions'. Who signs up for that except folks who have _no_ other job prospects?
So the first line of defense is sending in 'the troops' to investigate. Even Mars gets more scrutiny before even one human gets there. To prevent another myth like 'the Curse of Tutankhamun', we now have some nice robots doing the first recon. They have the eyes, and the autolearning this crew did not have. Just amazing. Going to another planet and just handle it like a 10 year old.
I love how they just open the door np, it’s like let’s all go into the basement in a horror movie or your running away from a killer, then you stop and turn around 🤦♂️
At 0:37, did anybode realize, that he is exactly sitting and raising up like a xenomorph? Also he gets crushed by the vehicle - nice hommage to "Aliens"
Yeah only just realized from reading the comments,what happened to the two crew members who yelled " we gotta get outta here" they just bailed on everyone and no one thought about checking out for them?
I see a lot of people talk shit about the crew's lack of security here. But to be the devil's advocate, if you learn that one of your (previously thought dead) crewmember's is outside the ship, your not going to expect them to be a literal super-zombie. The crew probably thought that Fifield managed to make it back to the ship on his own. You'd think "maybe his radio got damaged, which is why he's not answering. Maybe he's lying on the ground because he's exhausted from walking a couple miles in a space suit with limited oxygen". Fifield didn't seem to be the healthiest individual to begin with. The Prometheus is a corporation funded exploration ship. Apart from Janick, the pilots and the hanger crew, being on a long distance expedition is a first for the rest of them. Also, the security detail are obviously mercenaries. Fighting zombies, aliens and a Engineer created bioweapon are not things any of them are trained to deal with. Give them terrorists or criminals, and they'd do fine. And this goes for other sci-fi films. The characters act stupid because stuff like this IS NOT common. Take the 1st Alien film for example. None of them knew what to do with a literal killer alien. Its only a few hundred years later, in canon, that humans know how to act around a Xenomorph, because it's happened a few (actually a lot) more times. The same goes for the Prometheus. If expeditions like this went this bad, they would've had procedures. But no. This is the first (and only) time that shit like this happens at all. And, here's an important part. To the rest of humanity, the Prometheus and its crew simply vanished. This whole incident is only known to us, the viewers. Elizabeth's log at the end is obviously never found. Ashes blown away by the winds of time, you could say.
Yeah, well, for movies like this, the modus operandi is "fuck logic". You don't EXPECT them to be a super zombie? Welcome to the Alien franchise! Only fight-or-flight hind brain impulses keep you alive here.
No way in hell I'm reading this, but none of the events in the film would've happened if they wore a helmet. Also they seen the guy folded in half, lol, like wtf, why would you get closer to him? Why? It's still dangerous, you don't know what could've done that to him. And as he unfolds and appears a zombie, the guy is like still standing there talking to him as the zombie roars in his face, lol.
Even though it might b the 1st time they cud encounter such a thing, at least have the brains to think in the situation. Even common mercenaries arent stupid.
This scene has always stuck out as so unsettlingly to me. The way Fifield is just a crumpled pile on the floor and how he just stays solitary for an extended period. And then the inhuman positioning of the legs. Pure horror.
@@liamnissanS2K kind of hard considering it's your own speculation on it. I can't think your thoughts, so please, do share. I really really don't see how forgetting alien will 'ammeliorate' this movie.
The first thing that anyone with an ounce of common sense would do is to make sure that Fifield responds to your communications, and if not, you look at the video monitoring to ensure everything is okay before opening the ship's doors and letting him in. And as soon as you see him sitting in some sick twisted position outside the ship, you don't open the ship doors, you get the hell out of there, or you make sure he is knocked the f*k out
At this point in the movie, Mr. Fifield ceased being Mr. Fifield. Now he's SUPER (computer generated) FIFIELD! He's angry and unstoppable! Kind of like the Hulk without being green.
Not sure what's more hilarious: Fifield's Chewbacca-esque makeup design or Shaw walking around like no big deal when her entire abdominal wall was cut open. No doubt there was a good movie in here but the end result is braindead.
Why did he become a zombie? Why didn't any of the others? How did it happen so fast? How did he get there so quickly? Why is the helmet no longer melted to his face? Why would a zombie be encouraged to curl up in a stupid pose and wait outside exactly as far as the ramp extends? How can it climb walls like spiderman when it's wearing the same suit and gloves as everyone else? How is it vocalizing noises that humans can't vocalize? How is he stronger now that he's a zombie when it's the exact same body? Why are their helmets so fragile, or how is he strong enough to smash one? How is his flesh suddenly bulletproof? Why are their weapons and technology clearly more advanced than the ones in the original movies?
he MUTED with the alien. yea, strenght is increased, velocity, etc. why is he at the ramp? cz the human part. the melted part of the helmet burnt his face to that horror you could see, and then fused with it. that’s why there’s missing glass. cz it’s in the face now. it’s an alien having fun in a human host, keeping it alive, like a parasite, making it look for other hosts. enhancing his body and stuff cz he probably affected the brain, muscles, organs, everything, to make a mutation alien + human
He has superhuman strength, he's literally lifting people and yeeting them with one single hand, it's believable that those are super sturdy helmets but his bitchslap game is just too damn strong.
@@yeahwellthatsjustlikeyouro7466 Considering the amount of dumbassery that the Prometheus crew have been exhibiting, it is also pretty believable that there helmets are pretty fragile and their gun very bad

You're both morons lol, the last thing you want is to turn around, surprisingly the dude saying "run" is more dumb than the person saying "poke it"
Back up with it in your vision
Lol, just close the door, "nope..nope..."
It's the future but your helmet has the same tenacity of a cheap window glass.
Fifield has alien strength, I remember that in aliens while they tried to flee as they couldn´t open the steel door welded in the lock by the colonial marine Vasquez they bended it with distributed attacks :O, the helmet is well made but not so long ago against a physically superior being who does not hesitate to continue attacking until he dies unlike humans, what android ash said that his lack of remorse could only be compared to his hostility, he´s a perfect survivor...
But no so much :P
@@andressorribes5652 1:32 dude the grass literally broke just from the guy falling
@@miming3679 Push from above (typical attack tactic of an alien, surprise and lunge) transferred the strong moment of inertia to the body and as the head was the first thing that hit there, all the pressure was concentrated, if it had been a leg it would have been broken without problem
The way Idris Elba says “What the hell is going on down there!?” Reminds me of the Alien Vs Predator game
"Sarge is gone let's get the f*** outta here!!"
-Aliens (1986)
That's what that line reminds me of. Bill Paxton flipping out.
He was talking to the editing suite, they must have been huffed off their mash on qualuude pipes worse than our grandparents when they were making this.
A mutated, murderous Fifield who fails to respond to redio copies strangely appears out of nowhere right in front of the damn ship. Let's just open the freaking door with a warm welcome!
"He's mutated!!"
"@#$%!! Is it some kind of good mutation maybe??"
"NO!! He's super strong and not nice!!"
"UGH, EVERY EFFIN TIME!!"
You can’t spell Prometheus without meth 🗿
I love all the red shirts getting killed and you only see them when they are getting killed, CLASSIC!!!...
0:15 oh Wong...what have you become.
Fat n happy!
Fucking hilarious that Wallace had to be alerted to turn around and look at the completely mangled, recently missing then mysteriously reappeared crew member.
Crew on this ship has the collective IQ of a Gerble
a bunch of deleted scenes you can find like Engeneer alien talking, original script says Vickers hired stupid scientist bcouse she hate her father and didnt belive in mission
You see one of your crew mates broken on the floor with a bizarre fetal (from satan's womb) position, what do you do?
1- Kick the thing with your foot
2- Give your back to it and warn someone else behind you despise having a comm chat
3- Patiently wait for it to stand up and try to reason with it, despise all the evident abominable mutation on his face
4- Wait for it to attack you
5- All of the above
You're a guy who works on space ships as a loader...
You see a job offer that doesn't tell you _who_ you're working for,
_where_ you will be going,
for _how long_ you will be gone,
nor the _purpose_ nor _expected risks_ of the job.
Do you sign up for it? Or are you competent enough to have other jobs you could get instead?

So much hate in the comments, this movie was dope, every movie has a flaw goddamn
I clicked this video hoping to find a few comments taking a big fat dump on this movie and I’m happy to say y’all did not disappoint!
-There is something outside (alarms are going off)
-Open the door
This summs up the movie pretty well.
Kind of makes me want to see it again. That movie is hilarious
He looks like the guy who called himself taserface on Guardians of the galaxy
I remember walking out afterwards, and hearing one lady say 'Now that is 2 hours of my life I'm not getting back.'
2:33 me after sleeping on the couch all night and one hip is way higher than the other now
I've now watched two clips of this movie and all I think is how trained professionals just want to go and touch every freaky phenomenon.
I'm pretty impressed the Fifeld mutant folded up so neatly to trick the crew.
1:10 to 1:35 how did the pilot and copilot suit up so fast? Seems like a space suit would take longer than like 25 seconds to put on.
How long do you think firefighters have to get dressed? Less than two minutes! This includes all of their gear, which can weigh from eighty to one hundred twenty pounds.
So just a spacesuit, designed to be ultra light, itll be a jiffy
It's not a space suit. They're not going out into a vaccuum. There's plenty of air pressure, it's just not breathable. They only need something tight, and a helmet, not a bulky pressurised suit like someone fixing an antenna on the International Space Station.
@@jimbobeire For how many people complaining about how low everyone’s IQ is because it’s the “future”, don’t you think they’d have advanced space suits that auto pressurize and can easily be taken off and on again?
Probably because this scene was supposed to occur later in the film, when the crew are about to embark on the final mission back to the alien spacecraft, so they were all suited up due to that. In one of the old TV spots you can actually see a deleted clip that shows Shaw is the one driving the vehicle that runs over Fifield.
Plot Holes!
Every mutant in this movie actually seems more dangerous than the 'alien'. Like how is it an improvement 😂
Love the protocol they follow, something strange and unknown is right outside the ship, what's your orders captain, "Open the door".
Actually, the captain didn't tell him to open the door. The guy asked someone else to open the door, and the captain was saying 'wait'. But they are a useless crew. That's not a big surprise considering the job offer from Vickers was 'take the money, don't ask questions'. Who signs up for that except folks who have _no_ other job prospects?
I swear every time I watch this film the plot has changed, and never for the better
I came for the comments.....and wasn't disappointed! LOL!
Fair share of edgelords and midwits for sure.
So the first line of defense is sending in 'the troops' to investigate. Even Mars gets more scrutiny before even one human gets there. To prevent another myth like 'the Curse of Tutankhamun', we now have some nice robots doing the first recon. They have the eyes, and the autolearning this crew did not have. Just amazing. Going to another planet and just handle it like a 10 year old.
I really like this movie then.😊👽👾
I love how they just open the door np, it’s like let’s all go into the basement in a horror movie or your running away from a killer, then you stop and turn around 🤦♂️
what the guy thought as he walked up to the mutant:
"oh thank god, i no longer have to worry about saving for retirement"
@@therearenoshortcuts9868 i don’t think he was thinking when he walked upto him. Cos any normal person would of said hell no 😝
This movie was "horrific", HORRIFIC in the number of PLOT HOLES! ahahaha!
@@C_AVATAR yeah this and alien covenant
02:39 he looks like homelander
1:09 This itself is already badass. Seeing his crew in danger and gets ready for battle rather then just sitting back in fear and watching them die.
Me thinking i dont look too bad,
Also me in the self checkout camera 0:48
Looking like Deadpool unmasked 😂
0:49 Mutated Fifield looks like a chipmunk
I hope the chipmunks you see dont look like that.....
if Sean was any closer, the door would have crushed him
At 0:37, did anybode realize, that he is exactly sitting and raising up like a xenomorph? Also he gets crushed by the vehicle - nice hommage to "Aliens"
Yes, his entire athletic frenzied attack was similar to a Xeno, and the call back to how Ripley drover over a Xeno with the APC was a nice touch.
The frickin position that creature guy is chilling in before he attacks ... da little bluuuuuuuurdclart XD hahahahah
Ah yes Heimdall and Wong space trucking back in the day
*I still think this movie is so underrated*
Yeah only just realized from reading the comments,what happened to the two crew members who yelled " we gotta get outta here" they just bailed on everyone and no one thought about checking out for them?
I see a lot of people talk shit about the crew's lack of security here. But to be the devil's advocate, if you learn that one of your (previously thought dead) crewmember's is outside the ship, your not going to expect them to be a literal super-zombie.
The crew probably thought that Fifield managed to make it back to the ship on his own. You'd think "maybe his radio got damaged, which is why he's not answering. Maybe he's lying on the ground because he's exhausted from walking a couple miles in a space suit with limited oxygen". Fifield didn't seem to be the healthiest individual to begin with.
The Prometheus is a corporation funded exploration ship. Apart from Janick, the pilots and the hanger crew, being on a long distance expedition is a first for the rest of them. Also, the security detail are obviously mercenaries. Fighting zombies, aliens and a Engineer created bioweapon are not things any of them are trained to deal with. Give them terrorists or criminals, and they'd do fine.
And this goes for other sci-fi films. The characters act stupid because stuff like this IS NOT common. Take the 1st Alien film for example. None of them knew what to do with a literal killer alien. Its only a few hundred years later, in canon, that humans know how to act around a Xenomorph, because it's happened a few (actually a lot) more times.
The same goes for the Prometheus. If expeditions like this went this bad, they would've had procedures. But no. This is the first (and only) time that shit like this happens at all. And, here's an important part. To the rest of humanity, the Prometheus and its crew simply vanished. This whole incident is only known to us, the viewers. Elizabeth's log at the end is obviously never found. Ashes blown away by the winds of time, you could say.
Excellent write-up of a marvelous film.
Yeah, well, for movies like this, the modus operandi is "fuck logic". You don't EXPECT them to be a super zombie? Welcome to the Alien franchise! Only fight-or-flight hind brain impulses keep you alive here.
When you as a fan have to write an essay to convince people it all makes sense.
No way in hell I'm reading this, but none of the events in the film would've happened if they wore a helmet. Also they seen the guy folded in half, lol, like wtf, why would you get closer to him? Why? It's still dangerous, you don't know what could've done that to him. And as he unfolds and appears a zombie, the guy is like still standing there talking to him as the zombie roars in his face, lol.
Even though it might b the 1st time they cud encounter such a thing, at least have the brains to think in the situation. Even common mercenaries arent stupid.
0:47 what it’s like to chew 5 gum.
that girl walking around after a C-section🤣
😂😂this part is very funny🤣
This scene has always stuck out as so unsettlingly to me. The way Fifield is just a crumpled pile on the floor and how he just stays solitary for an extended period. And then the inhuman positioning of the legs. Pure horror.
This movie had insane potential. Its not a bad movie If you forget everything you know about Alien.
? What are you talking about lol
@@aeureus use brain
@@liamnissanS2K kind of hard considering it's your own speculation on it. I can't think your thoughts, so please, do share.
I really really don't see how forgetting alien will 'ammeliorate' this movie.
Alien or not it’s a terrible, shit film.
Err, they are still the dumbest humans in film history.
He shouldnt have been smoking weed in his helmet haha
i swear if you put this movie into "comedy movie section" then its a fucking masterpiece.....
"Some kind of strange thing outside the ship."
"OPEN THE DOOR! I've got a big giant carabiner to keep me safe."
I for one will #standwithFifield in a bid to end workplace bullying.
they didn't notice how he was folded like a pretzel? that didn't raise any concerns?
The first thing that anyone with an ounce of common sense would do is to make sure that Fifield responds to your communications, and if not, you look at the video monitoring to ensure everything is okay before opening the ship's doors and letting him in.
And as soon as you see him sitting in some sick twisted position outside the ship, you don't open the ship doors, you get the hell out of there, or you make sure he is knocked the f*k out
1:17 that moment when you are sus
No matter where I look or where I go, that game is everywhere
This movie had insane potentional
At this point in the movie, Mr. Fifield ceased being Mr. Fifield. Now he's SUPER (computer generated) FIFIELD! He's angry and unstoppable! Kind of like the Hulk without being green.
Not sure what's more hilarious: Fifield's Chewbacca-esque makeup design or Shaw walking around like no big deal when her entire abdominal wall was cut open. No doubt there was a good movie in here but the end result is braindead.
Why did he become a zombie? Why didn't any of the others? How did it happen so fast? How did he get there so quickly? Why is the helmet no longer melted to his face? Why would a zombie be encouraged to curl up in a stupid pose and wait outside exactly as far as the ramp extends? How can it climb walls like spiderman when it's wearing the same suit and gloves as everyone else? How is it vocalizing noises that humans can't vocalize? How is he stronger now that he's a zombie when it's the exact same body? Why are their helmets so fragile, or how is he strong enough to smash one? How is his flesh suddenly bulletproof? Why are their weapons and technology clearly more advanced than the ones in the original movies?
he MUTED with the alien. yea, strenght is increased, velocity, etc. why is he at the ramp? cz the human part. the melted part of the helmet burnt his face to that horror you could see, and then fused with it. that’s why there’s missing glass. cz it’s in the face now. it’s an alien having fun in a human host, keeping it alive, like a parasite, making it look for other hosts. enhancing his body and stuff cz he probably affected the brain, muscles, organs, everything, to make a mutation alien + human
As for the technology and ships, the Nostromo was a cargo ship, not a fancy hotel/laboratory/scientific expedition as the Prometheus.
For people advanced enough to travel space , there helmets are pretty fragile and their gun very bad.😅
He has superhuman strength, he's literally lifting people and yeeting them with one single hand, it's believable that those are super sturdy helmets but his bitchslap game is just too damn strong.
@@yeahwellthatsjustlikeyouro7466 Considering the amount of dumbassery that the Prometheus crew have been exhibiting, it is also pretty believable that there helmets are pretty fragile and their gun very bad
Strollin about there after being sliced open. Ah yeah, no bother. 😂😂😂
Seriously the technology they have I find it hard to believe Wayland could live hundreds of years
1:04 your little brother wakes you up
If he really wanted to find a cure for death, the last thing to do was to wake-up a 10-foot-tall alien doing an hyper-sleep.
If anyone says Prometheus isn't a hilarious comedy, just play this clip.
The Prometheus was the start of a long line of examples of throwing all safety and quarantine protocols out the window
love how his legs are over his head but once he starts raising up, they magically under him.
If a moth had accidentally gotten inside their ship, that whole crew would have un-alived themselves trying to catch it.
