next time please read what you wrote before posting it because that was tough to get through.

lol are you drunk?

James Cameron I know it's you.

If it blows I will still have my VHS/DVD/Blu-Ray collections of Alien movies to drown my sorrows in. On the bright side, there would be a new trend of discussions on how bad P was and how much comparable to AVP:R it was, and a wealth of new reasons to start trolling forums and youtube. At least we will remember a great viral campaign and we'll share good memories about the anticipation it built.

@belladonna no drink drugs yes....lol

@mw3 your grammar blows!....their is a little spell-checker...it's very handy...use it. But I get what u saying...though i seriously doubt that it will blow....at the same time i don't think everyone is gonna be pleased....some are gonna walk out of the theater in absolute awe and praise the movie and some are gonna be disappointed... I think the latter will be in the minority.... Lost was a great show when it started out....but it just carried on for to long and the plot got completely lost....I don't think Prometheus will go in that direction...I think with Ridley as director.... he will know where to steer it....i am expecting a few twists and surprises and a slightly more complicated plot than most movies....but i don't think it will be another inception or Space Odyssey...those were'nt bad movies...but those plots was a bit too confusing IMO....

@Biomechanic hahaha quality Never watched 'Lost' or was even interested in seeing it but I'm putting my faith in Ridley, Cast and crew.

I know Cameron and Scott have mutual respect for each other,but there is ego involved here on a professional level.Avatar was a huge success,so I doubt that anyone would want to risk a bad film.But one other thing,Ridley wanted to do the prequel for a long time,and as an artist,I doubt he would abandon that because the suits told him no.It is possible that the distance he is letting on about a new movie is more or less a smoke screento the studio.Director's of his stature can get things done in private on a film.

Course it wont blow............theres that much hype the whole world will go see it........bums on seats remember. Plus we get a little bit more info about the origins rather than the queen alien and bloody predators. The INTENDED origins.

If it blows we will be sure to add some fire to furnace...

Just so Im clear on this, are we talking CHUNKS or GOATS?

Have faith

Disappointment is the gap between expectation and reality,Hope is Faith with a track record.RS has a fantastic track record,and he made Alien.I will say that again ,he made Alien.Anything that even gets close in any way to that film has got to be worth the price of a ticket.If it turns out to be a replicant so be it,the suits won.

After all of these years I seriously doubt RS would put anything substandard on the screen. He waited a long time to make this one and I think this was well thought out. Will it satisfy our individual expectations? Who knows?

Lol @ biomechanic. that's the best

Ridley Scott has been storyboarding this film in his mind for more than 30 years. All that talk in the past about not doing science fiction because there weren't any good ideas...made me smile then as it does now. He's not coming back for simply the money....he's back to reclaim his vision and crank the world. Hard.

"Biomechanic: James Cameron I know it's you”. @Biomechanic Man, that really made me laugh. @mw3 You actually make some very interesting points and express what I think are fair concerns - but I'd say you should really think about the way you treat your language and the language you use? I wouldn't normally get into this space with someone I don't know and I apologise for doing so - but I have actually interpreted the meaning in what you wrote: and it seems clear from that, that you actually owe it to [i]yourself[/i] to express your ideas better - because, on this basis, those ideas do have value, and it's a shame. Scott tends towards visuals - but he has a passion for trying to convey "realism", or plausibility. He, perhaps more than many Directors, does seem to require the help of a really, really excellent script to prevent everything being about the pictures. Lindelof tends toward fantasy - but he does knows how to spin a yarn and he produces superb, natural and realistic dialogue. He seems to require someone with a firm grip to steady him, just a bit. If they both work to their strengths and play down their excesses, that could be an excellent combination. It's a shame you thought Bladerunner "boring". I just think it thoughtful - as rooted in ideas as the book it was based on. Personally speaking.

Lost Template: A team runs off into the forest unprepared. Another team decides to go rescue them. Both teams encounter unusual/creative things, although you will seriously question whether the writer made the effort to go beyond shock, unusualness, and creativeness, and tie these findings together in a remotely coherent way. You will ask hundreds of questions about the few seconds of what the audience was shown with few answers provided and millions of tangents made. You are at the mercy of the writer’s disconnectedness and the limited amount of camera time. Eventually, you reach a point where it is not is no longer interesting and has become a pile of spaghetti of visual and auditory scenes, which you just don’t care to waste mental energy on and find better things to do. Hope this one is better.

All Opinions are always welcome and mine is that personally I find it wildly offensive and no less so than racism or prejudice given what we know are facts and assuming everyone who is smart enough to register and get on here is smart enough to consider and understand, even if just a little bit, what the film making process entails. The Late Dan O'Bannon, Ridley Scott, H R Giger, and others to numerous to enumerate here have spent the better part of their lives dedicated to the universe in which this film is set to take place. It's Director, is now in what some say is the "twilight" of his career. The truth is he has never been more sound of mind and body and at around 70 he could probably skate circles around 23 year old NHL superstar Sidney Crosby. As far as his credentials go in this genre the man is the definitive single most acclaimed director in mankind's history, and ONLY ONE other has ever come close or surpassed this perceived level of expertise at which Scott now finds himself...and that was the late Stanley Kubrik. For someone to say these words...to even consider their meaning in a phrase linking them together..."What If It Blows?" IMO, you have to be kind of lost !!! There is zero chance of that. we have been proven this OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. The most recent the other day when what is undeniably the single best science fiction movie trailer in the history of cinema was released to the public. The Full Length HD Trailer for Prometheus!!! After what is rumored to be the largest budget for any science fiction film in history between 175 and 225 Million Dollars was alotted and it's progress tracked across the internet for the past 18 months with millions hanging on every update, it is unfathomable at this point that a director with the knowledge and appreciation for film such as Scott would review and then still allow what was essentially a misguided or bad film project to be released to the public with his name on it. before first being severely adjusted or dumped all together.
