I am increasingly worried that this film will be disappointing

"Alien looked out at an unknowable universe. Prometheus brings is right back down to Earth. Boring." I cry total BS on whiney threads like this....I have no problem with nervousness that 'Prometheus' will not deliver...I have no issue with the expression of that either...I get that and I have some reservations my self.....But don't tell me you know anything...none of us does...... I am so entirely sick and tired of this 'IT WILL SUCK BECAUSE OF THIS OR THAT' nonsense or 'EVEN THOUGH I HAVEN'T SEEN IT MYSELF...IT CAN'T POSSIBLY BE GOOD BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MEET MY STRICT EXPECTATIONS ABOUT WHAT I THINK THE JOCKEY SHOULD TURN OUT TO BE OR LOOK LIKE OR THIS OR THAT OR BECAUSE OF MY VAIN SELF IMPORTANCE TO THINK I KNOW HOW IT SHOULD UNFOLD." oh wah wah wah....so things may not be what you expected them to be.. We, including you @chthon, have seen NOTHING. Stop it with the temper tantrums about a film none of us can say anything definitive about either way. "Come on! It's shite. A missed opportunity for greatness." Who are you chthon....Nostra-FRAKKING-damus? You know what...you may be right...I can admit that once I've had the chance to see the material and judge it on its merits, giving my opinion on the result, rather than beforehand, having seen only glimpses.... "I prefer to lower my expectations now, then I'll love this film if it's good." Now I appreciate this much about how you feel.....I'm just sick of this notion that any of us is certain of anything....we sound like childish fools when we act like our S@#T don't stink and every little idea we fart out about what this movie should be is gospel....and I'm as guilty as the next person, but come on.....see the damn thing, then tear it apart or praise it...whatever you want...until then, leave it be.....

Tell that to my pet "THE REAL SPACE JOCKEY" [img]http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/x368/bipolarestancia/tapir_01.jpg[/img]

Another COMPLETELY original thread dedicating to whining about the dude being blue. I haven't seen one of these in what, 24 hours?

WHAT?! They're blue? Film ruined. And not just this film, all film, now and forever!

in fact I like the idea of the blue man. which brings me doubt is the design of his suit (nothing more)

Hate the blue. Love the Predator.

Give me space tapirs any day. Alien looked out at an unknowable universe. Prometheus brings is right back down to Earth. Boring. Prometheus could be so bad that the high-priest geek devotee Alien purists may declare it 'non canon'.

I....don't even know what do say to that.

Let me put it this way, without seeing it I already know it is at least better then Alien Resurrection, AvP, or AvP:R. Alien Resurrection is in my top 50 shittiest movies I have ever seen list. AvP:R is the worst film i have seen. That and Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Ridley Scott has made exactly 2 scifi movies, both of which are in most critics top 10-15 great scifi movies of all time list. Have some fucking faith it won't be shit.

Judging by the trailer, the film looks more teal than blue. ;)

@Shane I believe that Prometheus is a great movie but I also think it's normal to feel some nervousness, after all we've waited this movie for long.

THEY'RE TEAL?!?!?!!!111!!1 Even worse.

It's pretty much impossible to replicate the power films have when your aged 9-14. So everyone who sneakily saw Alien when they were a kid and are hoping to be similarly blown away - I can't see it. I prefer to lower my expectations now, then I'll love this film if it's good.

@chthon LOL reminds me of the issue of "high Priests Purists" of Star Trek, in the beginning they did not trust the work of JJ Abrams and @juston I like your avatar

Sorry double post

I think that if you hype up a movie as much as we have on this site there is bound to be some kind of disappointment. It's just natural. It's not going to be what everyone wants. I was super hyped to see the Dark Knight and was really disappointed (Not that it was a bad movie but I expected it to be THE movie). I don't care that they're blue, just hope they kick some ass.

Thanks Shambhala. As soon as I saw the David 8 video I knew I had to make the flower scene my avatar. Too funny.

I am going because it is Ridley Scott doing scifi. I am also excited for it because of that, not because it is relation to Alien. The only Alien movie I like is the first one. That movie, upon re-release in Canada was AA. In the states that would equal PG-13 but you have to be 14 to see it without an adult.

It is better than little blue men, right? Little blue men are only scary when the anal probes get whipped out. I think I've already seen the big blue men's member. It looked a little silly, but I am sure it means business. Oh, and there will be some probing going on. It is a trademark of Alien, the DNA so to speak.

Ill make a lot of enemies here, but i even dare to say i will probably like Prometheus a lot more than Alien, whatever colour the engineers have. i just don't know what to think of them, i just read on the latest news art of the planet. The big head is part of their culture, the planet is biomec. But the few images i saw make me think of old/ruined. dead (dormant?) civilisation, like when they discovered those sites in south america.
