MemberOvomorphMarch 14, 2012It now seems obvious to me that we have already seen the ending of the movie.
The derelict ship takes off, the remaining crew member onboard the Prometheus set the ship to collide with the derelict. Theron (and Rapace), race to escape, putting on their space suits and ejecting in an escape pod, before the Prometheus slams into the Derelict ship spreading debris everywhere, grounding it, and also leaving it damaged, leading to Alien...
Although I'm sure there is an extra ultimate battle on the planet where Theron or Rapace are slaughtered (since this kind of surprise is a huge part of Ridleys story arc).
Plus someone must be left over to lay all those eggs... (ie. the punishment of Prometheus)

I do not think there is/will be anything at all to do on LV-426 other than die ! It has been pretty clear to me since we saw that trailer that we are seeing the Derelict being intercepted and deliberatly stopped from ever reaching earth. Knowing Ridley however it could very well be something completely different and we just don't know anyting for sure...YET!

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say, "no, we have not seen the ending."
We have viewed and analyzed not even 2 minutes of the movie. We don't know if the interviews are the real truth and we havnt been able to view any scene for more than mere seconds. I think a lot of our assumptions about the storyline and sequence of events are based on thorough scrutiny of what we've seen, but to think we know what's going to happen, well that's a bit presumptive.
For all we know, every thing we have viewed happens in the first hour of the film. If Ridley told the truth and most of the movie is set in space, than maybe all we have seen is the mere basics of how an alien gets on board the ship ride home. Pure assumption, of course, just like all the rest.
ALL generalizations are WRONG!

I'd say that we haven't seen the ending.
Also the trailer is most probably cut so that the pieces we see dont happen in chronological order in the movie, because they really don't make sense atm.
Everything seen in trailer happens probably within 30min, maybe even 20min of the movie.

Judging from interviews from Sir R Scott we are told that at the last 8 minutes of the film we will see the Juice! everything builds up to that point so the question is IF the planet they are on is LV-426, if not it could mean there are more derelict crafts?

Two Joints and a Timex should be offered when the derelict gets to Earth...
Or it could get worse

Thanks for all the great feedback !
Here is mine...
1)We DO know the ending because this film IS a prequel to Alien.
2)The derelict is for sure the same ship as Alien. These things are grown and probably unique.
3)If only Theron and Rapace are left after the crash, then that must be very close to the end of the film (last 20min ?). How long is their air going to last ? But as I stated, there is of course going to be a twist. Someone has to lay the eggs, and the derelict is mostly intact. I'm guessing it's Theron or Rapace
On another note. I'm sure the film starts with discovering a Space Jockey Dome (Terraforming Dome?) on Earth, since this shot is in the first trailer. I would also hazard a guess that it is found under the Antarctic after it melts (rushing water, plus shots of the Earth with no Antarctic). This is Weyland's catalyst for his terraforming tech.
The crew then travel to another Dome on LV-426
It's kind of hokey though. I hope Scott isn't trying to suggest human evolution never happened, probably not, probably just terraforming the Earth... Though there is that human head in the temple dome... Hmmmm

and If they go in that direction it is my HUMBLE opinion the film will fail miserably...any tie in to anything even mentioned in the AVP series will completely ruin this films credibility entirely for me.
March 14, 2012
@latinhypercube. Again you are assuming one hell of a lot. Where did you ever see in the alien films that they grew the SJ ships? Oh right! You havnt... Books, comics, Giger art, I dont care...the movies are all we can legitimately create a hypothetical storyline from
I would agree however that if they took elements from the formentioned, it woe be quite cool.

@Nrlfetmefan
Yes, of course I am assuming a hell of a lot. That is the whole point of this post and others, theorizing what this film will be (If that offends you then why are you here ?).

Charlize Theron plays an Evil Queen who sucks young girl's soul in the live action SNOW WHITE which opens one week before PROMETHEUS.

@latinhypercube
Apologies...no offense meant.
It seemed like you were writing in a very "matter of fact" fashion. I feel it necessary to point out sometimes to people when they are doing this, simply because no one here really know the facts.
You started a good thread though and kudos for the ideas and the images.
ALL generalizations are WRONG!

Agreed irishandroid1...."I love all the theorizing!!!!", but I also prefer educated guessing to wild speculation, but that's a personal preference and I mena no disrespect to you or anyone else on this forum.

I dont think the eggs are going to be laid by any human, at least I hope they aren't. Even if a human was impregnated by a SJ / alien life form the idea that the human reproductive cycle somehow reverts to laying eggs as opposed to giving birth to an infant would not stand up and would probably end up being quite silly. This is science FICTION but that idea is just too far gone and not really in line with the original movie.
The idea that eggs are made from either living human material (as in the deleted scene from Alien) or some kind of product from a different reproductive process is more probable, just my opinion though....
March 14, 2012
perhaps the jockeys are going to earth the exterminate us so the remaining crew of the prometheus crash into them to stop them...but if people were getting into escape pods why are they also running on the ground from the crashing derelect

@jim jimmer thanks for posting your pic, the glimpses I saw of the spacecraft in the trailers it's been bothering me that the ships although similar were not quite the same.
