That's what I'm talking about lazy because Wayne's exile was not three weeks. They didn't cross their "t"s and dot their "i"s. I remember something saying 3 months in.

Went to see it a few weeks ago with two friends, one commented it was too geeky and another left disappointed expecting a sci-fi flick :insertyaomingface
Prometheus was excellent, i fully enjoyed the story, no boring scenes at all, but they could have spiced it up more
The lead actress is superb, and she looks great in that movie
and freaking muscles!

I agreed, although I was hoping to see more the character played by Charlize Theron with more skin exposure.

An interesting development since this type of movie is not allowed according to the rules by the government. Looks like a Chinese style 300 without the gore.

I wonder if Mainland Chinese read all the gloating overseas from journalists that American movies reign at the Chinese box office. Ironically with the criticism that Hollywood is selling out to gain a foothold in the Chinese box office by including Chinese elements, if this is a response from the Chinese people being savvy to the gloating, now Hollywood will have to suck up even more.
Not sure if the Mainland knows Star Trek but if I were say like Paramount Pictures, I would lay the groundwork for creating a TV series franchise in China. The movies will certainly be shown eventually in China. They would have a starship with a mostly Asia-centric crew. The government probably wouldn't have a problem with the values portrayed in Star Trek especially when they have their own Prime Directive. It would probably be cheaper to produce with more special effects. Besides a lot of money is made from TV advertisements and eliminates a portion of the piracy losses that movies face.
With the co-production deal Hollywood has with the government that skirts the quota I can even see this happening with movies. Tom Cruise is fighting aliens in War of the Worlds while there is another War of the Worlds movie set in China where it deals with Chinese characters dealing with the aliens over there happening at the same time.

Re: Movies in General/ Star Trek etc etc
I saw the teaser for the new Launch of the Red Dawn reboot when I saw The Dark knight Rising on sunday. Production looks good but the story is going too cause Reaction. IMDB has it that the story is based on a North korean invasion yet the movie is littered with PLA marks.. I don't think this movie is going too do well save for the "Controversy" Watch but I doubt repeat watches. From what I have read apparently they went though and did a post production edit too turn the invaders into North Koreans... I guess with Dubbing.

LMAO...North Koran troops...invading America?! Why does the new movie has to have a Communist country as the bad guy, couldn't it be an alliance of terrorists units or something?

Terrorist Can not take and hold territory, For that you need infantry, Air support a well prepared police or military force can root them out. the most active a terrorist could be on a battle field is as a Guerrilla or insurgent but against the US Military or a major metropolitan police force they would have too break down into small scale actions well being actively hunted. the Closest they could come too an invasion would be the Dark knight rises Plot. A Terrorist who holds the lives of a city hostage using the threat of a Nuclear weapon but is limited too the geographic boarders, and Forces of the people who are willing too fallow him but if a prepared and trained forces shows up with proper support well the whole thing goes out the window. A Armored personal carrier parked outside the window in downtown is more compelling and easier image then the fear of some guy with a suicide vest.
The Russians Were great villains perhaps not as great as the Nazi's( in all of Human history never ever has there been a enemy that so easily could be seen as EVIL) Red Dawn was written for the Cold war as a propaganda Piece. Made about the Same time as another one a ABC miniseries called the actions and plot fallow the profile of a Communistic invasion, Reeducation camps, rewritten history. the Story writers used details of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan for tactics as well as images beamed form Russia's own propaganda. Reworking it for a modern version would pretty much demand an entirely new plot, And Title After all RED is the self described color of the communist. A Islamic fundamentalists based version would have too be Green Dawn.

I just saw the Total Recall remake. When I first read the production info when it was green lit, it was I think "Great Britain/Europe" vs "China" alliances. They changed it to the elitists who live in Great Britain vs the poor that lived in ghetto Australia. I assume they thought it would not get a release in China if they did the original concept and so they changed it. And the thing was the British were the bad guys wanting to invade and conquer. As for the movie... it looked great updated and more futuristic looking than the original. It was basically about stopping the British robot army from invading Australia but cloning a million Kate Beskinsales would probably have given it more of a feel of threat. She was more like the Terminator than these robots.
