    It was. I was really digging the story until that point.

        Ridley Scott is one of those directors whose as a good as the script he's given to work with, so it's quality would have to depend on what writers are on board. And
        Prometheus
        , though flawed, wasn't all that bad And with it's success both critically and financially, it wasn't even a small flop let alone a huge one.

            So? "Star Wars: Episode 1, The Phantom Menace" was a flop to Star Wars Fans, and still made a ton of Money without the Critical Praise.

              That's the sad part. Throw away the real fans and get casual viewers instead. $$ over fan/story/universe loyalty.

                The studios don't care about the fans. The only thing they care about is the money the movie makes. If it makes them a profit then they're happy.
                The only time that the fans matter is if it's a director who's making this for them specifically and those rarely make much in the way of a profit which means most studios won't go for it unless they're contractually obligated to do so.
                Having said all that, a reboot of this monstrosity will never happen. It's simply not a good enough story for a mainstream audience to embrace. L Ron Hubbard was a hack who wrote in the old pulp style where more words meant more money. He sacrificed quality for quantity.

                    John Travolta again !
                    I heard that he was blamed for everything wrong with the movie when really it was not his fault at all, it was the producer's. He should re-direct it with 100% artistic freedom.

                      If they were to reboot it, they need to scrap the previous movie, go back to the novel, do it completely serious, and then sell it as a
                      this is so stupid it will be funny
                      kind of thing like "Pride & Prejudice & Zombies", for that is the best you can possibly do with it
                      Cast it with actors ex-scientology actors, that would be awesome.

                        Should be a SyFy channel series/miniseries.
