Prometheus formula driven?

I'm worried that Ridley might just be following basically the same formula he used for 'Alien'. Because they go into some ship, right (or some place)? One of the explorers gets infected and things become chaotic on the ship, and Dejavu. At least that's what some of you have speculated based on what has been seen in the trailer. I think what you've said about the guy jumping off the top of the vehicle seems accurate. I just hope there's more to the movie than just someone going into ship and getting infected like in the original. I want it to be original and unpredictable. Please convince me otherwise!

Here's a thought. As I've gotten older, and remained a big sci fi fan, I've learned to lower my expectations for ANY movie. I no longer look forward to a movie being a life changing event. For example, whatever you thought of Fantom Menace(and I wasn't wild about it), there's no way it could EVER have lived up to the expectation generated around it's release. All of us on here are already SUCH huge Alien fans, that I doubt anything will match the 30 YEARS of enjoyment and speculation that I've gotten out of such a groundbreaking movie. Also, consider what Ridley did using the technology of the 1979! I always have to check my expectations to keep them realistic. Now, having said all that, of course I am hoping to be proven wrong! -Cheers

I have to agree with skyguy1054... If what David is pulling up out of the ampule winds up having a tail on it looking like a facehugger, won't you all be a tad bit disappointed? I mean, you'll know what it is, you'll know what it can do. Do we really want to see all of that again? That won't scare any of us. Now, if it's something totally different - something we've never seen before, then THAT is something worth being excited over. Just my few cents :)
