Hi guys, I'm new posting on this forum though I have many months coming here to read the news related with this movie. I have seen all the trailers and the new featurette as well, and I've ordered almost all of the scenes in my mind to get the whole picture's plot with the right sequences, but I'm not sure about some of them so I hope if you can help me on that. I'll recap the movie very briefly so you can have an idea of the scenes and their order on the movie. Please feel free to tell me on which point I'm wrong: 1- Shaw and Holloway in Iceland (maybe not the same country for the movie) when she discovers the paintings on the cave. 2 - Weyland speech. 3 - Prometheus traveling through deep space. 4 - David wakes the crew up after two years of hibernation or whaterever they call it. Vickers is the one already awake at that time (maybe she's an android too?) 5 - The briefing scene, where Holloway and Shaw explain the mission to the rest of the crew. 6 - They come to the planet and land on it. 7 - They get out in three vehicles to the mountain or structure wth the skull on top. 8 - Entering into the mountain, 9 - Then they release the red balls and continue exploring till they get to the gate where the beheaded Space Jockey lays down. They pick its head or helmet and put them in one of their bags. 10- They discover the giant head made of stone and several pods, some of them open up (perhaps each one of them is a different life form). 11- They keep exploring and David finds a door, he opens it and enters to the circular room along Shaw and Holloway. 12- David steps up on the platform and manipulates the egg-buttons to start the engine or the system of the derelict ship. The green light lits up and the planetarian systems show up. 13- David goes to the center and interacts with the holographic thing. [Now it gets complicated to me, because the characters are divided in two or three groups inside the ship and obviously there will be cuts and the action will keep on some other group and so on.] From what I've seen on the trailers I infere that: 14- While David is manipulating the planetarium the rest of the group is attacked by the bald men in blue (et's just say he's one Space Jockey, even when we're not sure yet). There's a scene where one guy shoots while next to the female doctor in the derelict ship and we can clearly seea blueish hand coming from the left side, so I'm almost sure they're attacked by him. 15- The same goes to Fifield, he somehow gets infected and something pretty nasty happens inside his helmet. 16- Holloway gets infected too by touching something coming from one of the pods and it manages to introduce into his suite and probably his body from his left arm. 17- The guys run back to Prometheus. 18- While driving back to the ship they realize a giant storm chases them. It looks like there are some kind of insects or worms flying from the storm, as we see the three-inches-long things going with the heavy wind. 19- Shaw carries the bag with the head / helmet and somehow she stands up outside the ship looking at the storm, then thrown away by it. 20- They get Shaw who's probably unconscious from the falling when the wind hit her. They take her to the med lab and she recovers (I think of this because in one of the trailers she appears waking up and wearing a white blouse.) Later on she analyzes the SJ head or helmet in the lab. 21- From what I've seen on the trailers, I'd say that after that she probably goes to bed with Holloway and they have sex. After that he discovers something wrong in his eyes and realizes he's getting sick. 22- Shaw also realizes that she has something inside her, probably because of being with Holloway. She is taken back to the lab and they study her. 23- While doing that to Shaw, Fifield and Holloway begin to mutate, the first one into some form of deformed monster (he's clearly the one who's seen jumping from the big vehicle sporting the mohawk and trying to catch the guy below who carries the flamethrower, and the former into an old person (when the two guys with guns shoot to Fifield, there's Holloway entering the room behind them and he looks really old or deteriorated, walking with the aid of a couple of guys as well. Now I get lost from this point on, and I'll tell you some of my doubts of the sequences: 24?- I know there's a scene where Shaw escapes from the lab hitting a guy who tries to examine her (I think she's not wearing the underwear on that part of the movie but a shirt and pants.) Maybe she tried to escape but they caught herand put her back on the medical bed. 25- She manages to escape from the lab and: A-locks the creature -removed from her- up on that room or: B-the creature scapes as well from there. 26- She gets to Vickers' room and falls down on her knees in front of Vickers and some guy who I don't remember now. 27- Shaw explains what's happening on the ship and then she does the praying thing in front of the mirror, while crying. 28- Shaw goes back to the derelict ship -maybe she goes alone- to put back something they stole from it, or to pick up something there. Maybe she encounters the Space Jockey and somehow he explains to her how the Earth was formed and so. Perhaps this is the time when the scene of the UFO and SJ looking at his hand comes. 29- The Space Jockey comes to the circular room in the derelict ship and activates the holographic system, then he releases the famous chair and gets into it with the helmet (although I have some doubts on that because on the trailers we see the SJ getting OUT of the chair, just notice that the chair parts are actually opening from the suit.) 30- The SJ starts the engine of the ship and gets out of the mountain or temple. At this point Shaw escapes and communicate to the Prometheus ship that the derelict goes to Earth. 31- The crew decide to crash Prometheus against the derelict ship to stop it and not getting to our planet, so Vickers runs and gets into the scape pod right before the collission, landing the scape pod on the planet and she goes to find Shaw. 32- Shaw and Vickers run after the explosion and crashing of the derelict on the ground. 33- They go find the Space Jockey, or better yet, the Space Jockey finds them at the scape pod (the scene with Shaw and the axe is in one of the Prometheus' ships.) Here's the fight we all know when she's sitting on the floor and the SJ is in front, coming at her. Is this the end of the movie? I still don't know many things: Why Vickers hugs David? It seems that during the axe scene Shaw is pretty much on her own, so what happened to David? and what about Vickers? (she probably dies too.) Is this how you think the movie will go? I know that there are still many things we don't know and they haven't released too much information or spoilers, but based on what I've seen, that's my interpretation of the plot and the order of the scenes. If you come up with something new or think that the order may change, please feel free to comment and tell us what it is. I'm sorry about my English, it's not my first language so excuse me if there are things that I wrote here that you didn't understand.

Nice ... I don't know about you lot but I would want the mission briefing BEFORE I GO anywhere ... as in before I step on to that ship ... NOT when I arrive there and can't turn back ... a refresh brief when i wake up would be fine ... :) ...

Nice Summary. I believe the Weyland speech he is referring to is the holographic one. I am thinking David learns about the aliens and their visit to earth from the green computer. I don't think the vessels opens up in the temple. We see David back at the ship opening one. He would need to be brave or stupid to open on in the ship if it does something evil to people in the temple. However, I like the idea of the vessels being some essence of other races who came to the temple and met their fate. How scary is that, come to the temple and get slimed like Nickelodeon.

1. Shaw & Holloway discovering the cave paintings in the trailer was filmed on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. 2. I don't think the Weyland TED talk is in the movie, I believe that is part of the viral ad campaign

Yes, I was referring to the hologram speech, not the live conference. I read somewhere from a person who saw an advance of the film and he said that the hologram speech takes place before the briefing in the ship, right after they wake up from hibernation. I also thought that a briefing would be better suit before taking off to an unknown planet but due to the characteristics of the project maybe they did the other way for security reasons, who knows...

I love it man, fantastic job, the only concern I have is raised in #31 In that interview most of us saw for the first time Yesterday Ridley said, the Original Derelict itself did Not Crash Land, it had to make a Forced emergency landing because something in the Cargo of the Derelict "got loose" and began to "develop". So MY question is, What is the nature of the mission of that newer SJ ship that looks identical, almost to the original? Why is that ship being rammed...?...I want to know !!! If the Derelict made a reluctant soft landing for emergency reasons, Then that ship is NOT The Derelict !!!

Well i guess we have not seen many things in the trailers. There are some gaps and some order of scenes after 11 could be not in the correct order, there are a few things that could happen inbetween etc. One for example is their is a image of Holloway comming to the ship with his arms raised and he looks swollen in the face and bluey/grey in colour. Seems looking at other images that something has happened in the Cave and Vickers is standing gaurd near the Cargo Bay with Flammer and wont let some crew back in. We see Holloway looking into the Mirror with something in his eye, this may be around the time of the love scene with Shaw. But you see latter he starts to change and thus the scene above, which to me tells me this.. The crew go into the cave, they take some samples and head back. Latter the crew go back inside again, and this is maybe when things start to kick off (Worm thing that enters someones Suit etc) I think Holloway starts to mutate at this point aswell. I would say the crew are then rushed back to the Prometheus and Vickers is reluctant to let them back in. Where and when the Shaw and David walking through the Derelict ship scenes happen, i am not sure but could point to either 1) They stay behind when the other crew come back or 2) Some of the crew go back for a 3rd and final time.

know what folks...?... I just really really understood something here... This film is going to be Exactly Like ALIEN for half of it at least I think, And in this half of the film, like someone leaked a long time ago, one of the female cast members by accident I think did this...The Crew is going to be chased around their ship until they all are dead except for 1 or 2 members. I think half this film is going to have that now infamous "slow methodical burn" to it and we will watch one by one as they get taken out and that thing develops into some sort of predecessor to the original Xenomorph...and at that point, we will saw Shaw, rescued or somehow she got back on Board Prometheus to try to escape that planet, and this is where we see that creature she is hiding from behind that glass... I think this film might end like Alien did as well, with a final confrontation between our protagonist and that creature!!! I think that scene with Shaw is the very DNA Ridley is referring to because the creature suddenly looks pi-pedal and more like the original Xenomorph.

The idea of more than one visit to the cave and ship makes much more sense than my plot / timeline. It also makes sense because in the way I told the story it would be too short of time, being the movie about 120 minutes... So I think you're right, BigDave. The movie would pass from a relative calm and light suspense when they first enter the cave and into the ship, then they get back to Prometheus with samples (head included.) One thing that made me realize that (apart from your point of view) was that when they are analyzing the head found in the cave, they look pretty normal on their expressions, they're not worried nor angry nor scared like they would supposed to be if some members of the crew were already dead/attacked by some creature. So yes, the Prometheus crew should visit the cave more than once, and as you said, maybe three times.
