Sci-Fi Movie Mistakes: ‘The Matrix,’ ‘Blade Runner,’ ‘Star Trek’ And More (PHOTOS)
After several teases (and meta-teases), this Friday sees the release of “Prometheus.” The highly anticipated film, which stars Noomi Rapace, Charlize Theron and Michael Fassbender, marks the end of director Ridley Scott’s 30-year hiatus from the science-fiction genre.
Yes, the “Alien” visionary is back, and it seems that the three decade-long rest served him well: in addition to “Prometheus,” Scott has revealed that he is also working on a “Blade Runner” sequel and “Prometheus 2.”
So, before Ridley releases a slew of visually striking futuristic extraterrestrial flicks, let’s take a look back at some of sci-fi’s finest movie blunders, in another edition of Moviefone’s Movie Mistakes. (All photos courtesy of MovieMistakes.com.
