Yeah it's actually ridiculous how unscientific they are. It's more forgivable in Covenant because they're pretty much just a group of colonists - they're not scientists. But here it's completely stupid.
The biologist and the geologist were on drugs for most of their overnight cave romp, which may explain what they later get up to with the suspiciously phallic snakes.
@@joels5150 that's too wordy. Comedy doesn't work when it's too wordy. It has to be zippy enough to roll off the tongue in a way that sounds quick-witted.

When explaining with "CUBE" why they're there, he says "There's one moon that can sustain human life and we arrived there today!" (Not verbatim) then 10mins later proceed to say the atmosphere would kill you in 3mins and they all need spacesuits!!! WTF??😂
well one would claim that the oxygen and breathable atmosphere they had predicted came from the ship and tunnels, so its not exactly that off. in any case there are incosistencies with the prequels technology
When the "engineer" woke up an snatched David head off his body an immediately went back to completing his mission was my favortie part of the whole movie.
The funniest thing that came from this, is the response CinemaSins gave to Damon Lindelofs tweet: *DL:* Instead of making fun of movies that people love, why don't you make something original? *CS:* We're not only making fun of movies that people love, we've also made fun of Prometheus.
Not the only one either. They've made fun of many movies that people definitely don't love. And quite frankly, these videos are at their best when I do love the movie.
AS a biologist I can only say this: The movie _Prometheus_ is so full of absolutely braindead-stupid characters, plot devices, concepts, pseudoscience and cringyworthy let's-shoehorn-religion-in that is created a whole new category of stupid.
I use "the Prometheus school of running away from things" in regular conversation sometimes and I look forward to the day when someone understands my reference.
What kind of talks do you have where regular conversation allows you to use a particular term for the specific situation of fleeing from mono-directional danger in the very same direction?
Maybe you need to specify "Not the mythological Titan Prometheus (because he was chained down and couldn't run away), but the stupid Alien prequel movie's School of Running Away from Things."
23:52 i remember watching this with my dad, and i was literally yelling at the movie saying "GO TO THE SIDE! GO TO THE SIDE!" Over and over, and my dad was laughing so hard.
@@stevenseagull3867 Who wants to watch that crybaby bitch about Jeremy? lmao...He and many other people take this channel way too serious. CS is the goat, hell with th3turdman
One of the greatest sins in this movie is "Why is there a need of briefing for people, who SHOULD KNOW where they are going and why? Is this kidnapping?"
Fun Fact: the entire scene of David killing time en route was inspired by a similar scene that would have depicted Bishop doing the same thing during Aliens, but was ultimately cut from the movie to make Bishop's reveal as an android minutes later a surprise.
@@SuperFlawless2010 I think it's a huge stretch to say Cameron "made his movie better". Besides the fundamental reality that Aliens is a vastly different sort of movie than Alien, Alien covered all the fundamental groundwork in terms of design, aesthetic, casting aim, etc. Alien is a magnificent film; I'd never diminish Aliens in terms of being a terrific sequel, but a sequel it was and I don't think anyone is going to successfully pitch that it more action-oriented focus is objectively superior to the horror film that is the first. You'd have a better shot at pitching T2 over T1, but again their tone and aims are different enough that I'd pitch appreciating each rather than trying to force-claim one as better than the other.
I've heard the "Prometheus School for Running Away From Things" used in many other movie reviews. So you guys definitely started it. I've never understood why Guy was old or why he hid himself. Neither made any sense. When I saw that he was buried under tons of make up, I literally said "Oh, they are going to turn him young again by the end of the movie." ...Nope! And I hated the flip flops.
23:35 “Welcome, one and all, to the ten-year anniversary of the opening of the Prometheus School of Running Away From Things! As you can see the festivities have already begun with a rather stunning aerial display and it won’t be long until the main event that you’ve all been waiting for. Here we go! My goodness, such athleticism, such poise, such utter and complete obliviousness to the lateral alternatives available. You have to admire the absolute commitment to the idiocy that can only be found at this fine Sinstitution.” -Chris Atkinson
It also has its own School of Physics. The Juggernaut is heading away from Shaw, the Prometheus rams it from behind, according to Sir Isaac Newton the wreckage should start falling on ballistic trajectories and land further down range. Instead according to Scott’s Laws of Motion, the Juggernaut falls backwards and then starts rolling towards them. Nope, just Nope.
10:05 We have technology orbs that float and automatically map entire tunnel systems. We also only use flashlights from the 1950s, instead of having a floating orb that emits standard available-in-2012 bright LED light.
Also at the time they painted the map in the cave, the Isle of Man was covered by a huge shield of ice glacier. But that's probably too much of a nerd issue to check in a multi million dollar movie...
An alien ritually sacrificed itself to seed a planet with life, it evolves to the point where humans (who are physiologically nearly identical to engineers and are somehow genetically identical) become the dominant form of life, and you're worried about sketchy cave dating? Obviously it's a movie which requires a fair amount of suspension of disbelief, that being said, it really seems like they actively tried to irritate the viewers with the scientific aspect of the movie. I mean if you don't wanna put the effort in to make believable or consistent explanations you could just insert some technobable and get on with it, why spend half the movie explaining the scientific reasoning behind everything, if you're just gonna call it in?
I was riding my mountain bike one day when a rabbit suddenly jumped out in front of me and proceeded to run straight down the trail ahead of my bike for about 10 yards before finally veering off to the side. The first thing that popped into my head was, "The _Prometheus_ school of running away from things."
The rabbit is still smarter than these characters. It believes you are chasing it, and therefore veering off is less advantageous than running at full speed.
I just love the fact that Prometheus and the resinning of Prometheus are the only two CinemaSins videos that Jeremy hasn't narrated (that I recall anyway and I have seen them all).
HES BACK! Love the revisiting and new takes for the anniversaries. And of course this is one of my favorite videos you guys have done because I have a serious love hate relationship with this movie.
This movie is just strait terrible, there are no redeeming qualities. The only good thing to come from it was the 'Promethius school of running away from things' meme.
This movie is absolutely terrible, covenant was even worse but I'd take Resurrection over this trash heap where Scott wanted to create his own moronic origin story for the xenomorphs.
If you want to transfer from the star trooper school for shooting at things, to the Prometheus school for running from things, do you keep your class rank? And do all the credits transfer?
Someday I will become a professor of running away from things and my first lesson will have "PROMETHEUS!" written on the chalkboard as the students walk in and I'll be all. "That word will become your best friend in this course. You WILL commit the lessons of that film to memory or you will fail." As I underline the word while saying the last word of that sentence and turning around to clap the chalk off my hands.
You know i always wondered what the heck he was referring to when he would use the "prometheus school of-" sin and i never looked it up but now that i know it makes so much more sense 😌
This movie holds some special memories for me. It was the first movie in the aliens series I ever saw, It was the first horror movie I ever saw, and the first movie I fell asleep during as a teen.
I remember renting this from Redbox back after it released. I read the plot description, not knowing it’s an Alien prequel, and thought “wow, an interesting story for the origins of human kind.” It was about forty minutes into the film when I actually realized it was an Alien move. Lol
The surgery scene was everything- the closest any of the sequels have come to touching upon pregnancy, the horror of unwanted pregnancies (like in the original Alien) and a subtle nod towards reproductive rights. Definitely worth a few sins off.
Vickers actually changed the original crew to find some dumber ones coz she wanted the mission to fail. Apart from learning to veer off to the right when a mothership is falling on you she got what she wanted.🤪
When I saw the notification I was so sure that they were going to have Jeremy do this but it’s so amazing to see Chris get the chance to speak at a more normal pace, now they make videos that are more than 5 minutes 😂 there’s just too much to talk about for those kind of restrictions!
Feels really weird to me. It's like watching a knock-off channel copying the cinema sins format, even though it's 100% legit. I DON'T LIKE CHAAAAANGE 🤣
@Why do you try? lmao gatekeeping a youtube channel? Who cares if they are new. Jeremy does most of the videos, doesn't take a genius to figure out it comes as a surprise (not a bad one though) that Chris does a video instead.
@@ACWells13 You got that right. It's taken them years to get the pace and delivery to make these vids enjoyable. Going back is never a good thing. Sorry Chris, but you aren't in the same league as Jeremy.
God damn, this re-sin was fucking savage. This is the first sins video I've seen since the F9 video that I can't be mad at. That is, you took the time with the sins and pointed out legitimate ones pretty much the entire way through.
12:38 "This is just another tomb." Worst. Archaeologist. Ever. Classic. Also if the Redhead guy has an accent, and the main lady has an accent, why can't the spaceship captain speak with the actor's actual accent? I wonder who makes these decisions, and why.
I AM SO HAPPY THAT THEY STARTED IT WITH THANKING THE MOVIE FOR STARTING THAT SIN. I would like to appreciate my gratitude for that as well. *and is that a different guy doing the sinning?*
I do not know why dude decided he would try to pet that serpent like creature when it clearly folded out it's hood in an aggressive defensive posture. The first thought that would have popped into my mind is this thing reminds me too much of a cobra. I'm not trying to get close to it.
26:54 Your videos make me smile, chuckle and laugh sometimes, but the Data sound overlay made me laugh some much, that I knocked my coffee off my desk. You are a genius!
Which makes all of these dumb moments even more unforgivable. We'd forgive them in a trash B-movie, not in a movie of this caliber. 'Here little snake alien lifeform, here sweetie'
I'm glad you're finally lengthening up the old sin counts and I'm glad my comment about the founding members of the Prometheus school of running away from things was finally answered in this It's only been a year or more since I made that comment.!!!
FIRST thing I thought of when coming back for this 10th Anniversary sinn'n (Prometheus School of Running Away). Fifteen billion square acres around and swear I shouted this at my cat just last week refusing to get out of wheelbarrow path AND SURE I shouted this at everything from Ring Necked Pheasants to rabbits to cattle, all honorable graduates! Was nature long before CinemaSins but damn if youse didn't define it and forever turn frustration into a laugh. "JUST GO TO THE SIDE!"
In the future if people go to other galaxies and planets don’t touch things just take pictures and leave because you just might wake up the end of Humanity. Rest In Peace to Captain Janik and his two crew members on the USCSS Prometheus they are the real MVPs.
Man, I still remember well seeing this in theaters and feeling like the opening setup and David by himself holding the ship down and how he staves off boredom was the best part of the film. Somehow, something ticked me in a bad way that the introduction of the rest of the crew was going to make it steadily go downhill and I don't know why. Also, props to this moving for how I was introduced to Idris Elba proper and pretty much saying "I want to keep up with his work" proper after Pacific Rim.
17:40 Notice how the earth looks exactly like Earth today, rather than Earth from whenever Engineers created human life. Not sure if it's a sin or not, but I think that's interesting and has some implications. Does it mean they have been secretly mapping us all this time or something ?
Honestly given the reaction to masking there was during quarantine I'm totally willing to believe these people took off their helmets on the unexplored alien planet
“The typical mask you buy in the drug store is not really effective in keeping out the virus, which is small enough to pass through material” -Dr. Anthony Fauci February 5 2020
“The typical mask you buy in the drug store is not really effective in keeping out the virus, which is small enough to pass through the material” -Dr. Anthony Fauci February 5 2020
Stanford and Yale have conducted large scale randomized studies on mask effectiveness. They found that there is about a 10% reduction in Covid infections if masks are worn. So, if 20 out of 100 people get Covid without masks, then with masks only 18 would. But wait, there's more! This was for surgical masks. With cloth masks (which 99% of people wore during the pandemic, the effecacy was only 5%. Meaning, if say, 20 out of 100 people got Covid normally, then with masks, 19 of out the 20 still would. Cloth masks basically did very little to combat Covid. The mental health effects of isolation and never seeing people face to face probably outweigh the minimal improvement in infection rates provided by cloth masks. Again. These are studies by Yale and Stanford. Aside from Harvard, they are the most prestigious colleges in the world.
Hmmm makes sense if David chose the crew it would mean people unable to work together with sup par skills were purposefully chosen to fail. Would make David even more unsettling.
I came back to this to feed my CinemaSins nostalgia fix, and stayed just to show love to Chris' work as the narrator that I don't see enough other people showing here.
When this movie was announce to be released I was so excited. My son in law took me to the theater, ( my daughter didn't like Alien) I was so happy to be seeing this. When we left the theater I felt robbed. This was a huge piece of shit. The visuals was great but the storyline sucked. When will writers understand there will never be an answer for the unexplained?
I can't believe you didn't sin the fact that they're debrief about the mission after months or years of traveling. And here I am convinced to not move a single muscle to go out with friends until they tell me where we're actually having dinner.
Yooo I JUST watched the original sin video for this like 2 days ago. Didn't have a clue it was the 10th anniversary. So glad there's a new video for this!
Popped onto RUclips and this is the first thing I see. Started dying laughing because this movie has inspired one of the longest running jokes in CinemaSins history and here it is again. And I am totally freakin here for it. We applaud you!
Yeah Idris Elba him and his crew went out like some soldiers. If you think the bet's off you have another thing coming. You can pay me on the other side.
If you're continually walking to someone who's holding a flamethrower and you know they're willing to use it, and they're telling you to back off that's suicide.
@@999SickBoy666 Nope. It’s standing your ground and considered self-defense. Just because you take a life doesn’t mean it’s murder. Murder is the unlawful premeditated killing of a person, killing them when you feel threatened and have warned them to stay back isn’t murder unless you planned for the encounter to play out specifically that way.
Really liking the new format. I don't think anyone really cares about whether an object in the background was in one scene, then gone in another, but fully exploring plot holes and motivations is ma pudding.

I know one thing when David unleashed the black spores on the Engineers that look he had on his face was one of the best villain faces I've ever seen.
Those weren’t engineers just a different type of people
@@samfields3086 interesting because everybody else describes them as engineers. A colony of Engineers.
They looked like Albino savages compared to normal Engineers
God damn, this re-sin was fucking savage. This is the first sins video I've seen since the F9 video that I can't be mad at. That is, you took the time with the sins and pointed out legitimate ones pretty much the entire way through.
27:15 "Please state the nature of the medical emergency." LOL. The Doctor was my favorite character from Voyager.
10 year anniversary of the founding of the prestigious Prometheus School of Running Away From Things!
12:38 "This is just another tomb."
Worst. Archaeologist. Ever.
Classic. Also if the Redhead guy has an accent, and the main lady has an accent, why can't the spaceship captain speak with the actor's actual accent? I wonder who makes these decisions, and why.
I AM SO HAPPY THAT THEY STARTED IT WITH THANKING THE MOVIE FOR STARTING THAT SIN.
I would like to appreciate my gratitude for that as well.
*and is that a different guy doing the sinning?*
It’s Chris, the other founder of CinemaSins
I do not know why dude decided he would try to pet that serpent like creature when it clearly folded out it's hood in an aggressive defensive posture. The first thought that would have popped into my mind is this thing reminds me too much of a cobra. I'm not trying to get close to it.
And you would have better self preservation skills than that guy
Logic goes strictly against the writers plan for this movie.
@19:06 if the med pod was only used for males, Miss Vickers what was the point of you even bringing it on the ship
No Jeremy, No Watchie.
The fact that this is narrated by Chris fills my heart with joy, Happy anniversary Cinemasins!
Another sin: The hologram of Earth totally discounts what we know about plate tectonics and the Pangea.
My main reaction is: holy fuck , already 10 years!? Time does fly!
It’s been ten years of great videos, sinning, and its awesome!
26:54 Your videos make me smile, chuckle and laugh sometimes, but the Data sound overlay made me laugh some much, that I knocked my coffee off my desk. You are a genius!
Never knew how much I wanted Chris to narrate until right now
His voice is so goooood 🥰
I don't know if Chris did the writing too, but this is one of the funniest in a long time. Love all the references and the comedic timing is spot on.
@@sharkieshablm2640 Im not a nazi! Whats wrong with you? Leave me alone!
Geez...
YESSS! I enjoy Jeremy as the narrator but I’m glad it’s Chris for this one it wouldn’t make sense other wise. 😂
It's such a tiny part of this video but Fk I love that " did u see what god just did to us man?"
Best movie ever.
Now that needs a sin in
The original script and deleted scenes where so good it made no sense that those scenes where deleted
I've been upset about that since highschool
@@senju31 the whole original script is online it makes everything make sense and deleted scenes where so much better then what they went with.
Hello
The cut scenes of the life probes and dory at the end got me so good 😂
Prometheus is 10 years old, but looks better than 90% of today's movies. Look at the effects and everything, it is beautiful.
A polished turd is still a turd.
The movie looks great, but it's story and writing are still just as bad as 99% of today's movies.
I can't believe that it's ten years old, and that depresses me.
Talk about?
Which makes all of these dumb moments even more unforgivable. We'd forgive them in a trash B-movie, not in a movie of this caliber. 'Here little snake alien lifeform, here sweetie'
I'm glad you're finally lengthening up the old sin counts and I'm glad my comment about the founding members of the Prometheus school of running away from things was finally answered in this It's only been a year or more since I made that comment.!!!
I'm so glad you made this longer!
I really hope u keep doing this even after 10 years. So many great old movies in.... dated, videos
The "Old Spice" jingle f**king killed me. 🤣
This is the most passionate sin reading I have heard, and all the better for it.
Oh fuck YES, I wrote on another video that they better do Prometheus! Thank you CS, I love you guys ❤️❤️❤️
FIRST thing I thought of when coming back for this 10th Anniversary sinn'n (Prometheus School of Running Away). Fifteen billion square acres around and swear I shouted this at my cat just last week refusing to get out of wheelbarrow path AND SURE I shouted this at everything from Ring Necked Pheasants to rabbits to cattle, all honorable graduates! Was nature long before CinemaSins but damn if youse didn't define it and forever turn frustration into a laugh. "JUST GO TO THE SIDE!"
In the future if people go to other galaxies and planets don’t touch things just take pictures and leave because you just might wake up the end of Humanity. Rest In Peace to Captain Janik and his two crew members on the USCSS Prometheus they are the real MVPs.
I come back to this once a month to hear you say, “HE IS LOOKING RIGHT AT THE GLASS!”
10 years since it came out?…. Holy fuck I’m old
YOU’RE old? I remember seeing the original Alien film on it’s release back in ‘79!
@@AtheistOrphan shush I’m having my midlife crisis early xD
I didn’t see it in theaters on its original release. I was a Month old 😮
Talking about Alien, not Promethious
surprised you didn't sin David shining a flashlight at a HOLOGRAM to see it better...
Man, I still remember well seeing this in theaters and feeling like the opening setup and David by himself holding the ship down and how he staves off boredom was the best part of the film. Somehow, something ticked me in a bad way that the introduction of the rest of the crew was going to make it steadily go downhill and I don't know why.
Also, props to this moving for how I was introduced to Idris Elba proper and pretty much saying "I want to keep up with his work" proper after Pacific Rim.
David was the best part of the movie. He was cool.
17:40
Notice how the earth looks exactly like Earth today, rather than Earth from whenever Engineers created human life.
Not sure if it's a sin or not, but I think that's interesting and has some implications. Does it mean they have been secretly mapping us all this time or something ?
You are correct... its strange not many have noticed this but they couldnt have this model of earth... the vfx guys forgot about plate tectonics.
i watched this movie on lsd with a friend and we cried through the whole thing, so beautiful.
Ig acid really does make u rtarded
Not a single crack about how the weylands were dressed like Dr. Evil
Honestly given the reaction to masking there was during quarantine I'm totally willing to believe these people took off their helmets on the unexplored alien planet
Excellent point 😂

Crazy how RUclips won’t let people respond to this comment
Stanford and Yale have conducted large scale randomized studies on mask effectiveness.
They found that there is about a 10% reduction in Covid infections if masks are worn. So, if 20 out of 100 people get Covid without masks, then with masks only 18 would.
But wait, there's more! This was for surgical masks. With cloth masks (which 99% of people wore during the pandemic, the effecacy was only 5%. Meaning, if say, 20 out of 100 people got Covid normally, then with masks, 19 of out the 20 still would.
Cloth masks basically did very little to combat Covid. The mental health effects of isolation and never seeing people face to face probably outweigh the minimal improvement in infection rates provided by cloth masks.
Again. These are studies by Yale and Stanford. Aside from Harvard, they are the most prestigious colleges in the world.
Hmmm makes sense if David chose the crew it would mean people unable to work together with sup par skills were purposefully chosen to fail. Would make David even more unsettling.
10 years???? I remember seeing the original vid in my recommended list, I was 15 years old that’s insane
I think it was only the 4th Sins video they'd done at that point and the only one not narrated by Jeremy.
'I am surrounded by idiots!' David seemed genuinely worried and totally lost there.
Your end credits always make me smile! Thanks CS!
I came back to this to feed my CinemaSins nostalgia fix, and stayed just to show love to Chris' work as the narrator that I don't see enough other people showing here.
I remember that I watched the other video a couple hours after when it first came out 10 years ago. Wow.
Anyone else (for no real reason at all) not enjoy them as much when this guys doing the sinning?
When this movie was announce to be released I was so excited. My son in law took me to the theater, ( my daughter didn't like Alien) I was so happy to be seeing this. When we left the theater I felt robbed. This was a huge piece of shit. The visuals was great but the storyline sucked. When will writers understand there will never be an answer for the unexplained?
Now after watching this again, I'm glad shaw was tortured and killed off-screen between 2 movies. Good job David.
I can't believe you didn't sin the fact that they're debrief about the mission after months or years of traveling. And here I am convinced to not move a single muscle to go out with friends until they tell me where we're actually having dinner.
They started the conversation just before hopping in the stasis pods and 1000 years later continue it as if no time has passed.
They're being briefed, not debriefed. Debriefs happen after the mission or project is complete.
Yooo I JUST watched the original sin video for this like 2 days ago. Didn't have a clue it was the 10th anniversary. So glad there's a new video for this!
Popped onto RUclips and this is the first thing I see. Started dying laughing because this movie has inspired one of the longest running jokes in CinemaSins history and here it is again. And I am totally freakin here for it. We applaud you!
Yes... it is indeed- a running joke.
@andyjacobs7010 Lol this is gold 😂
Yeah Idris Elba him and his crew went out like some soldiers. If you think the bet's off you have another thing coming. You can pay me on the other side.
Sorry but I can't listen to these videos without Jeremy
i am glad that i can attend the anniversary of The Prometheus school of running away from things
gotta put it in my CV
If you're continually walking to someone who's holding a flamethrower and you know they're willing to use it, and they're telling you to back off that's suicide.
Nope. That still counts as murder.
@@999SickBoy666 Nope. It’s standing your ground and considered self-defense. Just because you take a life doesn’t mean it’s murder. Murder is the unlawful premeditated killing of a person, killing them when you feel threatened and have warned them to stay back isn’t murder unless you planned for the encounter to play out specifically that way.
I always loved the fact that the geologist with the cool 3D mapping pods ‘got lost’.
Everything Wrong With Free Bird (2013) for Thanksgiving.
Or Thankskilling
It’s the movie where they go back in time to the first thanksgiving to get turkey off the menu.
Laughed so much when you said the scientists were ‘on a mission from god’ and the blues bros popped up 👏
Really liking the new format. I don't think anyone really cares about whether an object in the background was in one scene, then gone in another, but fully exploring plot holes and motivations is ma pudding.
Crazy how I’ve been on a rewatch of the alien / Prometheus movies and now this comes out
