MemberOvomorphApr-14-2012 8:15 PMOkay, after weeks and weeks of reading some amazingly inventive conjecture and speculation (as well as a few ridiculous notions, frankly) on this forum...one of the things I'm greatly looking forward to, is finding out WHICH ideas are correct, and which have been totally WRONG!...
So I'd like those of you with strong opinions (or hopes/fears) about anything that you're personally CONVINCED about, to lay them out here for everyone to see...
Please join in, as it's just a bit of fun, and it'll be interesting to compare how near the mark or otherwise you are to what the writers/makers have ACTUALLY come up with for Prometheus...
Let me start this off with my own specific beliefs in no particular order -
1. ALIEN was a genuine 10/10 movie experience at the time for me, and I reckon the PG-13 'theatrical' cut will turn out to be at least a 9/10 experience, with the inevitable harder-edged 'Director's Cut' on Blu-ray adding an extra notch to this score...which will be a little frustrating as I'd have liked to have seen ALL of it on the big screen in the first place!
2. I reckon the entire Shaw/squirming 'squid birth' scene is going to be almost as memorable, and gruesomely horrible as ALIEN's 'chestburster' sequence was...
3. I reckon that the 'derelict' craft seen in the trailers is NOT the one that's seen in ALIEN...and that we'll see more than one of them in this movie...
4. I reckon that it is indeed the BIG BALD FELLAH that ends up sitting in the seat wearing the 'space jockey' suit and helmet...although he's NOT the 'chestbursted' one that's discovered in ALIEN...
5. I reckon we'll also see a very different race of 'aliens' compared to whatever the BIG BALD FELLAH is...but it WON'T be the 'xenomorphs' we've seen in the previous movies...
6. I reckon the 'ampule' urns are a specific container for 'bio-weapon' material which can be used to 'seed' various planets with...which are capable of creating OR exterminating life on them, depending on the objective at the time...and contain different 'DNA' from various unknown species collected from other worlds in them...
([i]in addition, I reckon that SOME of the urn containers may contain the 'DNA' mixtures of more than one species in them, to make something new...and some may contain actual living species in their early stage of life, such as the fully-formed 'young' creature that 'David' pulls out of one of the containers...[/i])
7. I reckon these 'ampule' urns are a SEPERATE kind of thing altogether compared to the leathery 'eggs' containing 'face-huggers' that we saw in the previous movies...and do NOT 'morph' into 'eggs' in any way...
([i]in addition, I reckon that the 'xenomorph' eggs seen in ALIEN were in the process of being transported towards the acual planet in the PROMETHEUS movie, rather than 'Earth'...as they were just another species that were intended to be added to the Space-Jockey's 'ampule' urn 'armory' at the time, until something went wrong wrong for the 'pilot' who had to ditch nearby on a seperate planet... And the 'warning' signal that went out was purely for the benefit of other 'Space Jockeys'![/i])
8. I reckon 'Vickers' turns out to be an 'android', just as 'David' is...
9. I reckon a now elderly 'Wayland' and personal 'security guards' are onboard...but this is initially kept from the majority of the 'Prometheus' crew...
10. I reckon the giant 'head' is more than just a static, unmoving object...and may move to reveal somewhere hidden...
11. I reckon that the 'infected' crewmember that mutates will NOT turn into the BIG BALD FELLA...
I2. I reckon that this movie's events occur on a totally DIFFERENT planet compared to the one the 'Nostromo' investigates in ALIEN...
13. I reckon that Shaw's 'squid' will grow/change into something much larger and truly terrifying...
14. I reckon that if there ISN'T something much larger and truly terrifying compared to Shaw's 'squid' and the BIG BALD FELLA...then I'll be disappointed....
15. I reckon this movie will NOT neatly tie up all the events exactly leading up to the 'space jockey' suit that's found 'chestbursted' in ALIEN...and that there'll be a few new mysterious questions by the end of this movie...but that they could all be answered in the SEQUEL!
Okay, that's my thoughts on this, so I'll be interested in yours... :)

MemberOvomorphApr-15-2012 1:56 PM@Bio - if you like nonsense now, had anyone thought of this back in Nov/Dec?
The ship - is the female
The SJ - the chief male
The children or other 'creations' of the SJ - the eusocial drones who make hives - whether they look like xenos, or more likely like this guy, based on the face in the mural: [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Naked_Mole_Rat_Eating.jpg]Naked Mole Rat[/url]
