Rules: explain why

Ready player one.

That has to be one of the cringiest movies I've seen, is tries so hard, too hard with it's "WE LOVE YOU NERD, YOU'RE SO COOL FOR PLAYING GAMES AND GETTING THIS 80S REFERENCE" message and the whole "corporation bad, the people good" narrative seems written for toddlers... The fan service feels cheap and adds nothing to the story.

Finally, they trying to make the people believe that very attractive girl with a barely visible red tint spot on her face is "ugly"... Like wtf?

Yet it received decent reviews plus being one of the most successful movies of that year.

Oh wow, complete opposite here - I thought Prometheus was hot garbage.

"Hey everybody, let's just remove our helmets in this totally unvetted environment, we're all scientists but trust me, this is supes safe!"

"Aw look at the little alien snake, so cute, better get real close!"

"I'm clearly showing symptoms of exposure to some alien pathogen, but let's just hide it from the entire crew, including my girlfriend, who I will be fucking."

"Oh, a huge ring is rolling toward me and I'm gonna get crushed, better keep running in a straight line!"

I mean, come on.

    The same can be said when in Alien the scientist shoves his face close to what is clearly a moving egg that responded to him as he got closer.

    There were no scientists in Alien. It's a bunch of space truckers and they're infinitely more competent than the hand picked group in Prometheus.
