Morrigainz Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Husband and I just saw Prometheus this morning. I was quite satisfied. It did leave me with questions and (I think) had some plot loopholes, but all in all I enjoyed it.My biggest problem with the movie?In the beginning, Charlize Theron wakes up out of her cryo and immediately starts doing push-ups. They show a close-up of her with a super-intense face. Then the camera gets a whole-body shot.....Ms. Theron is doing like HALF push ups! In fact, I don't even know if she went all the way down to the halfway point! I was so disappointed that now I'm making a post about it. What does that say about me? Anyway...there's my beef. Level ?

CapN_Tommy_Sunshine Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Oh dear. I think knowing that, the movie is ruined for me. LOL, just kidding. I'll probably still see it. Link to comment

Ryan Sannar Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 She probably can't do that many full pushups. They have to take multiple shots all the time. Link to comment
VorJoshigan Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Just to be devil's advocate, what if waking up from cryo makes you really weak? Maybe the character is super strong and could totally to full push ups, but when suffering from the cryo crankies, even half push-ups require a herculean effort. "Get busy living or get busy dying.

Ryan Sannar Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I'm talking about the actor being a weakling. Most actors are not a good basis for reality. Link to comment

Church Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 That was carbonite, not cryo. Totally different ball game.

Jcannon98188 Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 The issue was that when it was zoomed in, she was doing full chest to the floor pushups almost, but when it zoomed out she was doing 1/4 pushups. Link to comment
RaeVynn Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Yes, but we did learn in Avatar that cryo does make you a weak kitten. ... RaeVynn Revs it Up Link to comment
KAllen Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 I thought it was a given that cryo sucked the strength out of you...remember Han Solo?Even Khan was totally weak when took him out of cryo...actually I believe it was more stasis...but he was totally weak. It wasn't till later when he pulled a scalpel on McCoy didi he really regain his strength. (If you don't watch Star Trek you don't know who/what I'm talking about. You should be shameful of that fact, painted blue and flogged w/ a bullwhip coverd in paperclips until forgiven!!!)I thought Prometheus was kinda cool till I learned it was a prequal to Alien. Now I don't have any reason to watch it. I didn't watch any of the Alien series because Sigouney Weaver is Anti-Gun = Anti-American, yet she sure shoots a ton of them in those movies!!!

pixieopower Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 took my mom to see it a couple of hours ago and my MOTHER even commented on the crappy push-ups. LOL. She then complained about the random medically impossible stuff for 2 hours but whatever. Mind you this is the woman who made me see Alien when I was like 6... i was grown this way... *** please place your autograph on the line _____ ; so I can sell it on EBAY when you are famous *** Link to comment
