It's the recent(ish) trend of seeing how many popular references they can cram in before anyone realises they're just looking at a lump of shit. Same goes for the Abrams Star Treks as well. "Hey, they said Delta Vega! That was in Star Trek! Wait, how can Spock see Vulcan from there? Why didn't Scotty notice it get destroyed?" And on and on...
I actually really liked Prometheus. I get your point with the overload of references though, but the film itself was decent I thought. Problem is, it seems like the beginning of a two parter to me. Like, it was a good first half of a story but it was so obviously begging for a sequel. It's like the film only tells half a story and you're left watching her space ship fly away like "okay, let me see what happens" and what should be the best part of the story is left to the very end and you don't ever discover what the point was.
The last film I watched (I say watched, I mean turned on about 20 minutes after the start and ended up watching about 45 minutes of it) was Noah. Man, I love Russell Crowe, and I adore Emma Watson. But damn, this was a car crash. The script was dire. The premise is awful enough anyway I suppose. I mean, I wasn't expecting it to be good, it's about Noah's ark for christ sake, but it managed to be even worse than I thought it would be.
The new "amazing spiderman" films suck too IMO. They've got nothing on the Tobey Maguire trilogy.
