On ALIEN and PROMETHEUS Fashion: Sleek and Sexy vs. Traditional and Cumbersome S

someone have said that the nostromo was a cargo and so they werent suppose to make a great use of spacesuits ... while here we have a scientists crew with top tier equipment ...plus maybe the nostromo suits were made for void space ( reparations around the ship while travelling )

I've read a post (citation unavailable) either on this website, AVP Galaxy or the Prometheus page on IMDB. It pretty much stated that: [i]"Nostromo was a mining rig; the crew's space suits were designed to be hard wearing when facing up to adverse mining conditions in space.[/i] And to be honest I agree. In terms of the suits in Prometheus...I believe they are primarily designed to incorporate maneuverability. For example imagine the crew attempting to perform laboratory standard bench tests in space. They are scientists after all!

@Frantz...I can buy that! Personally, I think the filmmakers just want the characters to look more attractive...for our 2012 hyper-health and appearance conscious society. Especially for the actors and actresses who have athletic or sexy physiques...like Theron, Repace, Fassbender, and Elba. Which, I don’t really care…as long as there is some logical reasoning behind it. I’m just concerned…and hope that they didn’t go all George Lucas on the technology. Like in STAR WARS episode I, the technology looks more advanced than in Episode VI. This is always a challenge when making prequels…because of the ever growing sophistication of the audience. However, it should still be addressed. Peace, ~N

There has to be a logical reason for it... I do not think in any way that this would escape Scott's or even Giger's thinking and/or evaluation and they both would have "prolly" said something too if there wasn't a real good perfectly logical reason why them new suits work In their opinions. I just can't think of one like the rest of you.

IMO the Prometheus crew are going to have access to state of the art equipment, comparing the Nostromo to Promoetheus is like comparing a Ford to a Ferrari

@BellaLikesAlien --Except that it's a Ford that is 30 years newer than the Ferrari...technologically. I'm just sayin'...

Possibly, although the Space Shuttle Atlantis which had it's last flight in July of this year was used for over 30 years and 135 missions. Also look at a lot of the cars on the road; new ones and some over 30 years old. The Nostromo is more than likely an old freight ship which has out dated equipment; a mining team wouldn't look as technologically advanced to a group of pioneering scientists with the full backing and high budget of the company. A scientific mission to meet the possible creators of life on Earth would probably justify building a brand new ship and to have all of the best gadgets.

I like it Bella...I goin' with it. ~N

A spanking new ship that will see it's first and last voyage, kind of like Titanic. We all know that the Chinese made the Prometheus..probably, Nissan or Toyota, just have to look for the emblem somewhere on the ship...

Actually Nissan and Toyota are Japanese Companies...but it would probably be manufactured by Yutani...the fictional Japanese company. Probably not going to be built by Ford, Ferrari, or White Star Line...who built TITANIC. J

In my travels in the internet I came across an odd picture of Michael Fassbender with the all white helmet from the Nostromo on. They are conveniently large and glassy to see the actors face and it sure looked like him. I have since mysteriously lost the link: perhaps there is someone else out there who can identify this. Neurion it is good to hear from you; had any of that Irish whiskey lately.

I looked everywhere 4 U but all I came up with is this... [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LT.HIGHTIMES/A111prothhththht.jpg[/img]

Ya I saw this one that was of an Up close view of his face in the helmet from the left side. You don't see the whole suit but you definitely see the helmet with the circuitry in it. Exactly like the one from Alien. This article was mailed to me from Google and it's was primarily about Michael F.

I know what you're talking about Ruhaniya, I thought it was on this site somewhere. I am looking for it with google too but can't find it. We need a forum search box here though.

I'm kicking myself for it now, I can't frickin find the picture, or kick the hobit I was intrigued by it and wondered if it was staged or is actually part of Prometheus. Sometimes weird shit happens and I just look at it like an abstract painting and except it for what it is. Lets say we bump into a race of aliens that can read minds or even project into your mind. Cause they're multi- demonsonal! ya that one sucks cause the missing time wasn't caused just by Glow In The Dark Mentos. But Really,,, your in a white room and Dr Who is GPSing you. The aliens were just like the Darleks: living organisms in a weaponized nano cockspits. The god, oozing all over the land, creating an economic crisis cause nobody wanted to work anymore. So they built space ships to take people to other planets and stuff. Working in space is so much fun, especially when you get to work with androids, who love the smell of shit but not skunk. Ya...

Here you go [img]http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc389/bongobat/Fun%20on%20the%20Internet/davidhelmet.jpg[/img]

They said is a fake , great photoshop work but seems is confirmed fake ...also the pictures of the noomi like girl showed by spartacus is got from sci fi TV documentary "It turns out the image is not from Prometheus, but from Andrew Clarke's We Are One" http://www.facebook.com/RosieOnMars

Fassbender in the white helmet is a fan-made fake. The woman in the white space suit is not from Prometheus its from another film.

Due to the fact that there appear to be scenes where they're not wearing helmets, I dont think they are proper spacesuits....
