The swastika is an ancient symbol that dates back many thousands of years, long before the Nazis used it.
I'm not sure why they chose to put it in the movie considering almost everyone associates it with the Nazis, but they made it pretty clear that they were referencing ancient culture with the other symbols around it. I think it represented different things throughout history, but the sun and thunder are two very common ones and there is a drawing of the sun above it and a cloud with thunder below it. There is also another recognizable ancient drawing to the right.
Just before the scene where they find out that they were pronounced dead in the news, Peter Weller's character flips open a cover on the wall in the computer room, pushes a button, and red "SOS" letters light up. The lady from their company shows up on the screens and mentions that their SOS will have been received by the coast guard and navy.
So, the SOS signal goes directly to emergency services to get search and rescue started as soon as possible. This lets them know that people are still there and need to be rescued.
Yeah, it was pretty bad. Horrible script, bad acting, no likeable characters, and full of dumb decisions and unrealistic events.
I just listened to them back to back a few times and they are very different. There is no way a lawsuit would get anywhere.
I haven't seen the Alien movies in at least 10 or 15 years and decided to watch them in chronological order. I just finished this one and also feel that it is very overrated. I watch a lot of movies, even back to silent films and I don't have a problem with slow movies that build tension, but this one has very little plot or character development. I wasn't bored while watching it, but was left with an underwhelming or unfulfilled feeling because very little happened throughout the film in terms of a story.
I am not saying it is bad, just that it is not as good as I was expecting based on it's reputation. I actually enjoyed Prometheus and Alien Covenant a lot more than this one.
I have similar feelings about 2001: A Space Odyssey. I didn't enjoy the first movie that much and feel that it is very overrated, but I enjoyed it's sequel 2010: The Year We Make Contact a lot and think it is a much better movie.
Every time I saw Stephen McHattie (Pale Man), it reminded me of The G-Man from Half Life.
This will obviously contain spoilers.
The version I just watched was 1h 37m. I don't know if it is an extended version or if you just missed the scene.
At 1h 21m, they are back in time when the killer is a kid and I believe it shows him killing his parents. He sees Lisa and she runs away and hides in a room. This was the killers room when he was a kid. He has multiple frames on the wall with butterflies pinned up or maybe they are posters. There are shelves lined with jars filled with live butterflies similar to the beginning of the movie. They zoom in 4 or 5 times to give you a closeup of the jars with butterflies.
Here is what the killer says from the subtitles:
Get out of my house, Lisa.
Where do you think you're going, little butterfly?
You cannot hide from me in this house
and certainly not in my own room.
I don't need your company anymore.
I don't need your family's.
I got a new one to add to my collection.
So, the killer started collecting as a kid with butterflies and then moved onto collecting people. If you watch the beginning, the jars have butterflies, but they also contain people faces that are screaming for help. There is one butterfly that is not in a jar. It is flying free past all the other jars as they scream for help. I believe that butterfly is supposed to represent Lisa.
People shouldn't jump to conclusions without having all the facts, but you calling them retards for saying that the vaccine may have killed him is just as bad. Are you seeing what is happening around the world from this "vaccine"? It is reported that police say there was no drugs or paraphernalia found at the scene and the paramedics suspect he suffered cardiac arrest. From the info we have, if he received the vaccine, I would suspect it as well. We will know more once we get a coroner report.
After watching this, I bet the real reason they passed is because there was almost no story to make a movie. They took an idea that might have filled the first 30 minutes of a movie and dragged it out to fill 90 minutes. That just makes a boring, dragged out, unfulfilling cash grab.
