MemberOvomorphMar-19-2012 4:40 AMsince this site was down, i have been keeping my impressions of the
brilliantly awesome trailer(s) that have been finally released the past
few days
with that said, this is what i could
deduce from repeated viewings of the trailers
the Engineer's citadel is on another planet, not Earth
as i had thought from reading some of the leaked scripts
there is breathable air inside the Engineer's citadel on that other planet
David activates the star map mechanism using a flash light
pointed at a specific area in the deck of that circular structure
David seems to be in FACT the "Prometheus" type character in this film,
he seems to have "stolen"or discovered the bioformer substance and he
possibly could want to become more human than human
there is a shot of the bioformer slime on (possibly) David's suit glove
i feel David is the one who transforms into the giant bald / blue figure
we see activating the turret in the Engineer's ships main control chamber
Holloway does in fact somehow become infected with something,
and he has sex with Shaw, who seems to give a violent birth via
the PROMETHEUS' ship's automated medical bay, from the look
of the fleshy grey creature that the robotic surgeon chamber's claws
are holding above Shaw's tortured body
the PROMETHEUS ship does crash into the alien ship
i think the words spoken at the beginning of the trailer by
Vickers is what she tells David when she confronts him in the hallway,
they seem to have a physical altercation, so i'd venture to say that she
knows David has developed "feelings" of wanting to remain "king"
since he is such an advanced being, only he wants more
i think it's the now transformed David that is the tall figure that seems
to be hunting / terrorizing Shaw, she seems to be genuinely terrified of
that figure, so perhaps David's new modified brain has turned more
malevolent then before
aside from the brilliance that the official trailer,
i got chance to chat with Ridley Scott and Charlize Theron
via the live chat that was hosted by AMC Theaters on Saturday
afternoon, and what was even better, is that they BOTH answered
my questions. to say that i was giddy would be an understatement
after watching the Q & A with Scott and Lidelof,
Scott said something that struck me a bit, when asked is there was any
literal translation to the actual myth of Prometheus in PROMETHEUS
the film, it was Lindelof i think who explained most of the myth, but
it was Ridley who specified about Prometheus the Titan, who was
damned by the Gods to "have his liver eaten repeatedly by an eagle"
which instantly brought to mind the exit hole on the space jockey
in ALIEN, who had said hole on the side of his torso, where a liver
would be located on a human being
just something i thought about, since i feel David will become the space jockey,
and David was fashioned in the likeness of a human male's physiology, i think
that possibly David's "torture" is he births what we now know as the ALIEN
in any case, these are just my first impressions,
i'm happy to be proven wrong when i finally plant myself in that dark theater
this coming June, heart pumping / mouth smiling / eyes open brain hungry
for my suspicions to be either debunked - - or validated
i could be wrong in my explanation, but i think i could be.....

MemberOvomorphMar-19-2012 4:49 AMWell, that could be the only possible explanation for me.
Only a non-human liveform as an android would not be destroyed through direct DNA altering, ergo morphing into a SJ looking creature. Any other human life form would be destroyed.

MemberOvomorphMar-19-2012 4:55 AMSo I take it no human lives at the end of this movie right?

MemberOvomorphMar-19-2012 4:58 AMLot of assumptions in there my friend. If you look at the SJ shot where he walks toward the bio-mechanical turret/suit, one of the sarcophagi are opened up, indicating one being have waked up from some sort of stasis/sleep. This leads me to believe the big blue guy is not a crew-member, but just got waked up by their actions.

Agreed, (though not your later edit about David being in the chair)
Check out my thread...
Have we seen the last shot ? David = A New Alien lifeform

MemberOvomorphMar-19-2012 5:09 AMSorry a bit OT but:
Is it just me or did it sound like Idris Elba was trying to talk in a southern accent? It sounded so fake to me. Then I heard him say "mate' in the international trailer and was like what is he trying to do there?

MemberOvomorphMar-19-2012 5:17 AM@Biomechanic: yeah, he seemed to speak with a Texas inflection,
perhaps he's just making light of the seriousness, then again he could
be switching accents...??
@latinhypercube: i will check out your thread, but i'd venture to say
without looking at it, you are referring to the opening shot of the bald
figure holding out his right hand, with the formations of dark veins
@Slakkers: yes, a lot of assumptions, time will tell if i was paying attention

Biomechanic
MemberOvomorphMar-19-2012 5:25 AMOh i didn't think he might be doing it for fun. I hope that is what it is and he speaks normally : ) Kevin Costner put on a very over the top Boston accent for Thirteen Days. The movie was pretty good but that fakeness really killed my suspension of disbelief.

MemberOvomorphMar-19-2012 5:30 AM@Biomechanic: he's English, and his true speaking voice has a cockney sound,
i think it's his character "Janek" who could be a bit of a humorist, i mean, i can't
think he'd play that character flipping from Texan to British...at least i'd hope not

As its been mentioned in your earlier thread, id agree with some of the suggestions. Ridley has said the Icelandic waterfall represents the Beginning of the film/beginning of time. Looks as though he/she could represent the moment life was put on earth?
The leaked script from last year which was admitted as being a fake, does sound resonable tho..interesting at the very least. The whole stealing of the "bioformer"..gods/engineers being angry...
