Prometheus Trap

I'm sorry I could not get past the first five minutes. Because the camp androids acting was so bad he took the lead but not by far they all stink and should be ashamed of them selfs. ALSO. The opening scene where they are In wedding day dress bag holders with dishwasher exhaust pipes in their mouths. HOW DARE YOU OFFEND ME WITH THIS GARBAGE, HOLLYWOOD

I love a cheesy b movie but this is a true z movie. Only managed 5 minutes! Awful Acting! Sound! Camera work! Script! Sets! Please do not waste a single brain cell on this terrible film. You have been warned.

It's not a coincidence that Prometheus Trap came out same year critically acclaimed Prometheus did. But it had to be a mistake having a budget of around $500,000 for it. I mean it looks as if it was all recorded inside a walk-in freezer using early 80's computers as props and a slightly failing smoke machine. Special effects look like my failed attempts at basically anything in 3D Studio Max or Blender and I failed for free. Acting is average at best and even though the basic story line is not terrible (although I'm far from saying that it was any good) the execution lacked in all areas and the flick ended up being just plain boring. I'd avoid it at all cost if I wasn't so bored beyond belief that I had to resort myself to watching all straight-to-DVD crap this coming Xmas season...

Of course, if you expect to see the remake of Alien, if you expect fancy design and computer animation, if you wanted to see the other Prometheus film, you will be disappointed. BUT: This film is great. It is far away from main stream. It deals with the characteristics of "time" very well. It shows how the characters try to escape the logical constrains the time implies on them. This is extremely well done. The setting fits well to a low budget film. Still, it is thrilling to see. The only down side I saw was the movement of the star ships. These were kind of badly animated, inadequately moving in space. If this was not the case, this film can be positioned on the same level as 2001 - Odyssee is space.

I try to watch low budget movies to support artists and filmmakers but this is utter rubbish. The actors are ok but the sets look like they didnt even try. Most of all i am really annoyed by the directors panning and closeups of the actors when it clearly doesnt call for it. Also, why did he need to shoot into the light so much? Everything is washed out. Hope i never come across this teams work again.
