look at the simplicity, slickness and lack of detail
now look at the back wall of the original and the bone shapes

compare the detail of the space jockeys

they aren't the same and this is my only gripe, Im still excited just my expectations have been a little deflated as if his craft has become a little less detailed over the years. oh well,
Ridleys feeding us a new sci fi movie and I shouldn't be biting the hand that feeds me
