I'm still mad about it whenever it comes up. It had so much potential, at least at the time. Only saw it once in the theater and was absolutely livid that it squandered everything about that amazing lore. Only other movie in recent memory that shat the bed this hard was Hereditary for my money but at least it was hilarious. DId you ever see Dreamcatcher?

I mentioned it because your description of Prometheus would also fit Dreamcatcher but instead of shitting the bed at the end it does it right about the middle of the movie. I saw it in theaters and was quite disappointed. That first half, pretty cool though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I put my mind to it, I'm sure I can come up with quite the list. There's nothing more disappointing than getting into a film, being immersed and invested and then disaster strikes.

But it’s def a major drop off. The first 2/3’s of the movie are an atmospheric master piece. Then it turns into some shitty horror-esque finale that doesn’t pull off the Event Horizon vibe it was going for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like he has bit I really can't think of one at the moment. He was pretty good as Hoffa I think in The Irishman. I know a while ago he was on Larry King saying that he was still acting pretty much because he had to because some bad money moves fucked his money up.
