Is anyone considering not being the first in line to see Prometheus?

The only movies that ever really made me cringe was the HOSTEL movies. I love sci fi violence. I want to soak up everything Prometheus has to offer!

Yes. I am going to see the film, but I will not likely see it on opening night. I don't plan to stand in any long lines or camp out in front of the theater. I'll probably go on Saturday during the day. Since I work for a cinema chain, I won't have to pay for my ticket or stand in line. It's funny - I watch less movies now then I did before I started working at the theater. Go figure.

Yes LV426JGFPM, we got it! ;) At the cinema where I am going to see Prometheus the tickets for the midnight opening are already sold out, so I don't think there will be need for anybody to go and camp outside or wait in line. Most people have their tickets already, so it should be just a matter of walking in.

Anyone else a stickler for projectionist details? Make sure they focus and frame up the picture properly during the TRAILERS. On big event movies, I almost always have to get up and go out to the lobby to have them call up to the booth (or send someone up) to re-frame the image or adjust the focus for the whole screen or even to bring the curtauins out of the way properly for a widescreen picture. Amazing. Please get it RIGHT for once, theater operators!

The day that Prometheus hits theaters, the full plot synopsis is going to hit the web like wildfire. I'll have to extremely careful not to read anything on that day, so that I don't spoil the plot.

I'm gonna have to see it as soon as it comes out so I can get back on here and take it apart with you guys! If I wait till the following weekend to see it, I'll at least need to stay way off this site, huh.

The audio clip is chilling, but wild horses couldn't keep me away from the theater on this one. It's only sci-fi after all. The things that truly disturb me have to do with real-life monsters. I'm especially sensitive to anything involving children. There was a scene in Gone Baby Gone (just before Casey Affleck blew the pedophile's brains out) that had me shook-up for a while. But sci-fi I can handle, at least since I've been an adult.

@ skyguy1054 - Word!

@ Frantz lived in a couple different countries an many U.S. states and not the good parts lol. right now i am in oklahoma (not mu choice). fun fact, there is a big human trafficing sex slave operation coming through this state. anyway, id say the positive aspect of constantly moving to so many crap areas is a thick skin and some kickass street smarts. but frantz, this is why i am going to the fancy shmancy theater instead of a local mad max style thunder dome. if anyone makes too much noise i will be the crazy person in the theater!

Are you kidding? Absolutely, at midnight and with my two daughters (16 and 12...the 6yr old will have to wait). I might have some popcorn:O)

Bella, I too will not partake in spirits or the nectar of the Gods. I transpired into an alcoholic haze during two major opening day cinematic events. First, The Lord Of The Rings and second, Star Wars The Phantom Menace. Actually let me rescind The Phantom Menace. One extraordinary cinematic event.

@ sundar, drinkin the fire water ruined quite a bit of theater experiences for me. the only time booze was a good idea was during bad movies, but REALLY bad movies i knew were terrible that landed at the dollar theater before netflix and redbox was invented.

Bella, the dollar theater where I reside serves alcohol. As if they know horrible movies require beer goggles to watch. I too my friend have exhausted precious screen time enveloped in the web of excessive debauchery related to intoxicants.

there is one about 1.5 miles away from the new house i just moved into. [url=http://www.warrentheatres.com/index.asp]the warren[/url] i still find it odd that i have been to so many places yet some "bible belt" state in the USA could offer something that doesnt suck, still perplexes me.

@Bella..your theater sounds like a dream---where is that "expensive" theater, if you don't mind answering??

I can and will definitely wait a few days to see Prometheus. I'm really not big on watching films with large crowds. Seems like too many people have forgotten how to act in theaters today, between cell phones, talking, coughing & sneezing etc. Ugh... I'm lucky enough have access to a small college town theater up here in Northern New York. They'll will get a "big" film like this after it's been out for a week or so. I guess it's cheaper. Anyway, the films there are often sparsely attended from late May to late August, especially if you plan your showing correctly, so watching a film can be like sitting in your own living room. It's great, the owners are nice, and I feel good supporting a small, independent theater.

I'm dragging the wife to the 1201 (AMC IMAX Kips Bay NYC) - no fookin chance I'm waiting any longer, wouldn't be able to sleep anyway - friends cant be convinced to do the midnite show. Wife hates scares, blood and horror but loves great films..I've said it's going to be like the Fifth Element (works in fashion and she liked the costumes). Way I look at it she will thank me after...

@lilmatt Read your thread title and responded to that....as for what else you said... In 79, I didn't see any puke reactions the first time I saw it in Hollywood but that was an industry crowd, but not even they were prepared for the visual and sonic blast that hit the audience. When I saw it again a few weeks later I witnessed a scene in the theater where someone left and wanted their money back ....they were really pissed off...other people also got up and left. Nothing in this movie will move me out of my seat. Difficult to explain the power of Alien in its day...if you were not there you'll never know...it was a paradigm shift in the experience of viewing a film in a theater

Forever war.....I would add the exorcist and Texas chain massacre as the paradigm shifts of their time, unconventional...groundbreaking. Add the suspense of Jaws, a movie who's whole success and feel can be attributed to a broken mechanical shark, and the explosion that Star Wars created in sci if interest and I think Ridley had all the elements in place to create a true original

I'm sincerely hoping for scary but NOT nauseating. Or worse, someone throwing up on me! If the script is cerebral, sickening isn't necessary.

No way am I waiting to see this movie. I'm way too excited. Midnight IMAX showing for me!

I am definitely planning on being there for the midnight show. My girlfriend and I will be sporting our upcoming website T-shirts (which I hope many of you win!) While we wait in line. Gonna have pizza and snacks and I'll be on our Twitter postingall the excitement! Haha But there is no way I'm waiting to see Prometheus. I'll brave the crowds. Hell, the more people there - the more who see our T-shirts and the more who come here to discuss! Should be a great thrill ride. Can't wait!

Oh Gawd..midnite shows..whew...I burned off that layer in the 70's with Pink Flamingos, Rocky Horror, EraserHead,Truffaut films, Elevator Girls In Bondage, Plan 9, you name it... I'm kinder to myself these days
