How much of the Engineers would you like to see in terms of screen-time? Should they amass some substantial amount of screen-time, or should their appearances be more interspersed/less frequent? Personally, I’ve been obsessed with them ever since I saw the SJ in the original Alien movie. I want them to have their own awesome/signature moments. Mr. Scott is an amazing director, especially in regards to his attention to detail in the things that have derived from his mind. Every piece of technology/creature effects are exceptionally detailed. Despite the fact that it is fictional. I absolutely love it, and it’s one of the things you need to appreciate in order to enjoy films such as these to the fullest extent. However, if Ridley Scott pulls a Cloverfield, I’m gonna have to pull a Tony Montana in the movie theatre, if you know what I mean... I imagine moments such as scene featuring the suit...the...”suit”? ...You know what? Screw it... I have faith, though. I won’t worry too much, because it looks to be promising in regards to the Engineers specifically. Anyway, back on track. What’s your say? Do you really want to get your Engineer fix during the movie? Or do think they might out-do themselves? More, or less? *Waits for dirty jokes* ...

I hope they're not all holograms, like the trailers suggest. The one scene that shows Kate Dickie looking up and trembling is promising, though.

The alien-looking SJ ´79 made a deep impression on most people, not only by his size but his surreal appeareance, even dead and mummyfied. He was featured in early comix also. The strangest thing is his mega huge backpack that any normal living beeing couldn live with ;) stranger than an insect.. When RS revealed the easy solution as beeing a suit, I still think that only explaines his design in Prometheus, not Alien I.

we have several copies of alien around the house...we have watched it several times over the past couple of weeks, every time Kane sticks his head up through that hole in the sj chamber, I always make a big deal out of it...it is one of the best moments in the movie, imho....and the music that follows=epic movie memories........that scene made us all want to know what the heck that thing was, now RS might make us sorry we asked, these dudes could be bad news.....cant wait

Yes indeed. I want to see the "real SJ" and not just holograms. Lots of screen time would be nice.

I've read that we'll see plenty of the Engineers in the second half of the film....
