Prometheus

It came out 2 years before I was born. And by the time I could seek it out on my own it was horribly dated.

I dont find that at all to be honest in fact I dont see anything in it that we would say looks old fashioned or dated.

No it very much is. It follows all the slasher movie tropes to a tee.

Actually it follows a whole range of tropes not just slasher movie style but that doesnt mean that it's bad because it follows them.

High hopes for this one. Trailers look epic.

Which is another thing I'm worried about. Lots of promos. Looks like a Alien meets Independence Day.

I wont dispute that but I think if you go in expecting a sci-fi of epic proportions and not an epic sc-fi you can prepare yourself to be pleasantly surprised. One thing is for certain, the cost of promotion for this film alone must be a lot. Even if it does suck I can't see it flopping at the box office.

Unless of course you HATE that type of movie. Because it insults your intelligence.

Tropes badly done can insult ones intelligence but they can and are often well done.

Example of bad sci-fi tropes are basically any of the six Star Wars movies.

Example of a good sci-fi tropes are Pitch Black

Both derivative movies but only one of them is any good
