New screening report

Hi guys Have read the stuff and it left me quite torn... What makes me doubt it are a few major missing elements that are not even mentioned though they should have, provided how detailed his account is. (the ' Sacrifice Engineer'? / how they manage to find the temples etc... ). Many other elements are right AFAIK, matching the best supported theories around and the spoiler-tweets... All in all, I think it may be true, but it also sounds to me as a very well crafted scenario built from all the best available elements and some relatively talented 'making sense out of the trailer scenes' and 'hole filling' to connect the dots that are still in [i]terra incognita[/i]. (talented as in 'at least plausible' cause I am not a huge fan of the ending and other things myself...) I'll come back later to elaborate on what I think is missing. Not 100% positive yet, and the real scenario might not be that far regarding some parts, but I think we can prob relax. -T.

I snapped like a dry twig and read it.....IMO total Bullcrap. If this IS Prometheus then I am going to be massively dissapointed, and also probably dead due to the two years of non stop positive PR I have been giving my workmates and wife and driving everyone insane with how mind bendingly glorious this movie is going to be! Well I find out real soon - June 1st 1.20pm London BFI Imax.

damon lindelof is not shy of a few plot holes in his illustrious career is he? having read it i got a feeling it may be true, sob! (that's me crying btw) lets face it, they can put a spacecraft on the other side of the galaxy, but still need to use an axe as a weapon? tbh, i wish i'd read this thread AFTER the link had been removed.

I thought this was worth re-posting from Diesektor's thread, I deleted it to keep the focus on this one but it's very relevant:- [quote]RIGHT OKAY GUYS- ENOUGH IS ENOUGH- there is a post on here that has the full run of the film- I read 2 lines of it then fucked it off- by all accounts it bang on-but im not 100% sure- however i am not reading it. come on guys play fair- I Dont want to know and its massively unfair on folk who want to know- including me- please tell me if i am not on my own with this? im all for new pics and tit bits here and there but not the whole fucking plot! IF YOU SEE THE FILM THEN HAVE THE DECENCY NOT TO RUIN IT FOR OTHER PEOPLE. SO NOT FAIR.. regards Luke[/quote]

give me a break...why would they screen the movie for a bunch of random people? this guys not a sci-fi fan, and he's not a critic, so.......what? that doesnt add up. im not reading it, and im not buying it for a second.

Nah that's OK W2rh0und, I actually added the MAJOR SPOILERS WITHIN to the title right before it was deleted ;-P it wasn't there to start with, thats for sure. I've been lurking around here all day here since about 10 AM my time, and it's now 11 PM, so a solid 13 hours with this :-S

"[b]GUYS IM A MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL PRESS. i have applied to go and see an advance screening of the film and they knocked me back saying it would only be viewable from 1St June. I have very good credentials and this chap is either one lucky mother fucker or hes talking shit.[/b]" I'd bet my left maple nut that the latter is the case. My first thought when reading the OP was surprise that there would be advanced screenings for all but a select few. Then when I went on to read this guy was a fan that just got invited along I was somewhat more skeptical. Finally I read he got in free but had to pay travel expenses .... well I just knew this guy was yanking our chain. I think it's just another sci-fi/Prometheus fan like the rest of us trying to gain a bit of credibility for his theory by pretending that he's seen the film!

Haven't read everything, but oh god, this must be fake. If it's not, well.. Hard to say more.. The ending seemed kinda sh*tty, also that moment with a person who was revived for 15 min and with exploding head yes? This is stupid, really.

Svanya and I were crying into each other's boobies about it Ruth :-P not that I have boobs, but I CAN make enough room in between my pecs for a head.... Sorta.......... :-D a face at least............

Just close the window... If you hover your cursor over a known spoiler link, you know temptation will win... Almost like "I really shouldn't have another gin and tonic" as you open the bottle on a nice summer day. :)

I have read it and just like the fake scripts, I didn't like the ending. In fact, if this is fake then I am glad as it is a timely reminder that the building up of our anticipation for this movie could be leading us to a major let down in our high expectations.

.....one of my favorite characters does not survive this supposed plot and that's what i don't like about it....and the last 10-12 minutes....nothing special about that....don't really see how it ties in with alien dna?.....I am slowly convincing myself that it's just bullshit!....another fake plot...right?...and if i drink enough I will hopefully forget what i read...:)

One thing I'll say about the ending...... The Alien was OUR creator? No. Fucking. Way. Would Ridley Scott make it so that those things had ANYTHING to do with our creation. Our destruction, yes, but not our creation.

It worked in that respect Frantz :-P

personally, I think this is fake. Why would fox invite a totally random person to see a super-hyped movie like prometheus? And there are numerous contradictions to the trailers in the plot, the crewmwmber attacked by the white creature (hammerpede?) is Milburn, not Fifield, some parts are really lame and unexplained, etc...

The fact that he says that he's no sci-fi fan, and blah blah, and then goes to AVP galaxy is rather dubious. I mean, if I were somebody who got to see Prometheus in an (alleged) early screening and wanted to talk about it, I would join this forum (as it's clearly better related to prometheus than avp). What would be the point of stating one's not a sci-fi fan, then? Just to stir the waters and generate rumour indeed. And AvP Galaxy is more prone to trolling than this site. I could be totally wrong on this, but it doesn't sound quite right to me. In any case I stick to my tradition of not reading a single plot, be it leaked, true or declared pure speculation.

That was my reaction reading it also morph54, I can't bring myself to use the first part of your name -_-

You'd have wanted to punch a puppy if you had NoX, it wasn't appealing to many of us

btw I totally agree it's really not cool to not mention 'spoilers' in a prominent way in the title, and in this case it justifies removing the link. However, provided it's done right in the title and text, I do advocate for 'spoiler-lovers' like me, who like to read things even if it ' spoils' the movie (cause for us it really doesn't). In the present case, I find it surprising that some find a reason to blame others than themselves for reading it. Sure no proper warning was given here and it is not right, but on a thread titled 'New screening report' don't be surprised to read a screening report if [i]you clicked[/i] on a link and then had to [i]click '[u]spoiler[/u]'[/i] after the link to reveal the post. You wanted to read it, you did. End of the story. IMO, people should be warned but in times when it's done correctly (ie not like it was here), they also should be able to access info if they want to.

Can everyone please stop discussing any more of the content and details of this so called leaked review? The more you dissect it here, the less it makes sense that the link was removed in the first place. It will end up in bits and pieces all over this thread anyway. Makes sense somehow? Why can't we just put it behind us and move on? Please, please, please with sugar on top... *for Cypher that'll be crispy bacon instead*

Wow, this "story" really ruffled some feathers! Whether it's real or not doesn't really matter at this point. It has done what I'm sure it was meant to: Stir us all up and get us talking. I wouldn't put such a thing past Fox either. Viral campaigns, multiple trailers and featurettes, and oh yeah, a few highly charged leaked fake plots to get the juices flowing. The potential is here to generate a billion or more box office dollars. How far do you think they would go? Besides, even if it's legit we won't know for a few more weeks. If this "person" really saw it, then so be it. We pick apart all of his details, but he could have made MANY simple mistakes. Fifield/ Milburn, Vickers, Shaw, or the annoying BF. If this was real, and the person isn't a fan- then our nitpicking is invalid. Simple mistakes is all. In addition, much of the story could have been misunderstood. Let it go people! I read it, and it didn't ruin a thing for me. There isn't enough detail there to do that. If it was legit, the storyline is no worse than 3/4 of the stuff we discussed and theorized to DEATH in this forum. Get a grip people.

The original thread's title was: PROMETHEUS ADVANCED SCREENING I WAS THERE I moderated the post with MAJOR SPOILERS WITHIN!! so that people had any hint of spoilers was in it, and then another one of our staff members deleted it because they felt the original poster had violated the Forum rules, here for your perusal........

Read it and im sure its fake, probably written some Hardcore alien fan, it tries way too hard and obvious way to link it to alien, and that this "screening" just for some random people? cmon now people...

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm bacon :-P

I read it and here's why I am dubious. SPOILERS TO FOLLOW 1. It says the little snake snaps at people and then gets into Fifields suit. It wasn't fifield saying "it's in my suit!" Nor is it Fifield's mouth it jumps out of toward the third female's neck. Which he never mentions. (shame on me for not remembering her name, but she's not hot) 2. It says weyland gets to the ship all by himself and shoots david a lot. Does he shoot him so much that his head pops off and starts rolling around? How does he get infected and turn into an Engineer so fast? Because there is only an Engineer in the room with David's decapitated body. 3. He says Shaw and Holloway have a "make out" session and he has no idea how her fetus gets infected. They straight get it on and it should be OBVIOUS how that twisted little bun got in the oven. This was a well written, well thought out hoax.

Alright, I caved. My honest thought? I'm about 65% sure it's fake. It's missing some pieces here and there, and while the ending is... tantalizing... it relies too heavily on support from a sequel to even be able to stand on its own. RS has said a sequel would be possible, not required. That being said, if this does turn out to be real... well done! I'll still be there at 12:01 AM June 8th, enjoying the hell out of myself.

@cypher your fascination with bacon is totally awesome, and I agree with the spoiler tag thing and I totally don't mind it was taken down by what you said I just don't like people getting beat up for nothing I've just seen it (you know I have) a few times so I just wanted to say I think we should try and be mature to outsiders look, I didn't even get a chance to talk to him on here because it was gone so quick and then he got banned before I could even explain to him to read some other posts to get an idea of how things are and to put a spoiler tag or whatever. yes I prefer here than avpgalaxy though those dudes are really whacky sometimes

*HAL CRYING BITTERLY, DAVE WIPING HIS LENS DRY*

Don't cry HAL : )

Yet another load of codswallop. And what does the seeming similarity to Arthur Max's comment prove? Do you really think the weirdo who wrote up this latest hoax wouldn't have read all the same stuff/seen all the same clips/etc. that all of us here have? Seriously... if I was up to it I could write up a doozy of a fake 'advance screening' review and plaster it all over the internet - just by putting together all the information we already have. Fortunately, I've got better things to do with my life than go around hoaxing people.

@SaintsSinphony, I agree with you that it was quick to happen, the staff member responsible is still finding his legs as a Moderator here and just thought he was doing the right thing [quote]I just don't like people getting beat up for nothing I've just seen it (you know I have)[/quote] Yeah, I have. It sucks, but like I said, no one is afraid to use the voice the Internet affords them. Unfortunately it happens to the best of us, we are all human. I think :-P [quote]yes I prefer here than avpgalaxy though those dudes are really whacky sometimes[/quote] Man, I'm pretty hard-core when it comes to sci-fi, and I try to analyze everything I see and hear to come up with a logical conclusion for anything I'm interested in, but those guys are something even I cannot handle in large doses. And bacon is just friggin' fantastic :-D

*HAL SINISTER MODE ON* Hm, what if I sabotage the antenna those people are using to communicate? Oh much better, I don't even have to, I'll just fake it! *HAL SINISTER MODE OFF*

...well ....i said it before and I will say it again....it's a good story...weather fake or real......i can think of way worse ways this plot could play out!!...their did not seem to be any time travel involved at least and it was'nt over complicated either...with plenty of action and gore....just the very ending to me sounds kinda boring ....not that i could ever really envision what happens in that last few minutes.....but neither could the writer of this supposed plot apparently... And it seems almost too short to fit into 2 hours....but he could have left out a whole bunch of things while he wrote it and getting characters names wrong is hardly any base for people to call it fake....especially if his not a sci -fi fan! But part of me is still hoping it's fake...just cause I did not wanne get spoiled to that degree (IF...it turns out to be the real plot!)....and after saying that...reading someone's rambled down account of a movie he saw is hardly the same as seeing the movie play out in 3d in an actual theater....so i am every bit as excited as before!

I read the first 2 paragraph's and I knew it was rubbish ...because it didn't get me gripped ... I will read the whole lot and won't be put off at all ... That review has more holes in it than the TEA BAG I just used ... plus, there's too many 'I thinks' and 'I believes?' in there ... I do know that if i saw that movie I would be able to write the whole thing out in pure detail ... And I wouldn't really say it was well written or well thought out ... just a bad hoax ... ;) ... The reason why a majority thinks it's a good review is because I would've taken into account peoples reactions from a few forums whether to include this or take that out ... therefore you have what people like ;) ... I've gone to buy a new coat ... cos I might need it later ... lol ...

HAL9000 isn't human, I'm sure of it now, but that means he can't eat bacon, man what a bummer

LOL Gem]n[, well put :-D and I still cannot buy that an advance screening wasn't found out by just about everyone hanging out for this. If there was a screening, it must have been in the Queen's bomb shelter for absolutely no news to be released about it.......................

We load HAL's bacon into him via USB Saint ;-)

[b]@Cypher[/b] You removed the link from the thread? How the hell can you justify that? That's some really sub-par moderation you've got going there.

Sorry, just trying to keep the peace........ Would you like me to re-instate it? I'm pretty reasonable, you just have to ask :-) no offense intended at all dude.............

@mentos I think some people wanted to have a bit more of a spoiler warning but some people don't mind it's been bit of a back and forth on this issue I"m going to give my tablet a piece of bacon through the usb port and see if it runs faster......................well that didn't go so good
