March 19, 2012Really though, if you've been on this site and following the speculation, did the trailer reveal anything that you didn't already sort of know? For me it really didn't.
The only big reveal that I can think of is the Prometheus crashing into the derelict, and that was pretty much a sure thing after the most recent 1 minute teaser. We knew from the very first trailer that some sort of explosion stops the derelict as it was rising, and it had been speculated plenty of times that the Prometheus crew were the ones responsible for that. The only thing the trailer did was solidify that theory and give us the "how".
The one regrettable thing it might do is reduce the emotional impact of that scene, since we can now speculate about who eats it when this happens. For example: I'm pretty sure Idris Elba takes one for the team here. Vickers runs to the escape pods after he makes the decision to ram the derelict, realizing it's the only way to stop it. Hence the shot of him at the bridge, looking like he's screaming at the top of his lungs.
But this is what we do. The people on this site are pretty dedicated to gleaning plot points from the tiny bits of info Fox throws us, and they're pretty good at it to boot (love you guys :D). If you didn't want to know anything about the movie, you probably shouldn't even be here, to be brutally honest with you.
