Controversial sci-fi film ‘lacks logic’ for 12 years, says James Cameron

In 1986, director James Cameron gave us one of the best episodes of the Alien saga with the second part, called “The Return” in French.

After 33 years, the British filmmaker resurrected his franchise, wanting to explain the origin of the Xenomorph. So he proposed Prometheus, which was released on May 30, 2012. This work, which follows a team of explorers into the darkest corners of the universe, has caused a lot of ink.

One of the most controversial science fiction films

Adored by some, criticized by others, it leaves no one indifferent, and especially not the fans of the treacherous and bloodthirsty alien franchise. The film continues to stir debate, making it one of the most controversial science fiction films of the 2010s.

In his Gladiator 2 full action, Ridley Scott did his own mea culpaIt would explain why Prometheus was not as successful as he wanted. “With a great screenwriter Damon LindelofWe sat and tried to reconstruct the era of aliens. but we fell asleep on the way” admitted the director.

“My advisors weren’t vigilant enough either, no doubt. I’m partly responsible because I was busy with other films; that’s how the project ended up, when it wasn’t meant to be. When you bring something to life, you better do it 100%.”Ridley Scott added, correcting himself.
