Getting A Little Worried

MemberOvomorphMay 15, 20123239 Views76 RepliesIf the main protagonist in Prometheus is the "engineers" ,space jockey I think this film will not turn out to be all that special. Been there done that with a alien being somewhat resembling man terrorizing astronauts. WTBS I do like what I have seen recently with the "eel" ,"cobra" thing and how it gets into the spacesuit and wreaks havoc.This is very exotic, otherworldly and the kind of thing I expect. I hope and pray the main "monster" is not the engineers that he is just a part of the terror not the mian focus ,but from what I have seen recently I think this is where we are headed. Side note IMO they have really went overboard with the latest TV spots revealing way to much.

@Kane77 and friends...
They should have gone ahead instead of a prequel. Forget about Von Dänikens ridiculous unscientific views, and not to mention some other sci-fi elements (it´s way to close for some of the tech breakthroughs they´ve shown in the timpeline).
How about after ALIENS? (forget ALIEN3): they fly a mission to the moon with the temple and croissant (which keeps elements of the PROMETHEUS story) because they have found it or a map by accident for instance, or maybe the SJ´s homeplanet in ruins for aeons due to whatever they where playing with and still lurks around...
Sorry guys, I still can´t swallow the "they came and seeded the planet and left us a message" crap...
Obvioulsy I will see this movie and enjoy it for its own merits (character moments, acting, visuals, suspense, horror, etc.) but thanks to a huge dose of suspension of disbelief.

Well doesn't the whole cobra thing just seem a variation on the early stage alien life cycle anyway? I agree on some of the most recent tv spots though, it wasn't to bad before but its getting stupid now.

@Raven
I am afraid to admit that I agree with what you're saying. But I still hope for something we haven't been shown yet.
Ridley Scott will eventually tell us how the Queen was born.
Right now we have the Deacon; coming soon the Mercury, the May and the Taylor.

In response to WAWR ...Exactly, thats why I like it. Similar to Alien but different enough to stand on it's own. Just my opinion but the SJ terrorizing the crew I don;t think it will do it for me. I may be wrong though when I see it . I do have faith in all things Ridley Scott so maybe my fears are unfounded.

[b]Man this HAS to STOP these completely depressing and negative cancer spreading posts Have GOT to STOP !!! They have ZERO merit what so ever and ZERO purpose other than undermining the Otherwise Good Nature of this forum[/b]

@Raven
Oh yea well i guess that makes sense, maybe it turns into some xenomorph type creature but not the same. They wouldn't have all these scenes if it didn't grow into something else i don't think.
I trust riddley know's what he's doing though, this idea has prob been in his head for years.

Spartacus, how does it have 0 merit when the things i have seen so far at the minimum show the SJ attacking the MAIN Character in the film? I hope I a wrong and how is it totally depressing and have 0 purpose. Who are you to decide what is worthy and not to post here? My opinion has just as much merit as yours does. BTW if you read the whole post you could clearly see I am not dumping on this film at all or R.S .I am hoping it's a terrific film and am rooting for R.S .I tell everyone I know to go check it out.

Hey Spartacus, i think the TV spots are sort of a Rorschach inkblot test. Whatever people think about them probably says more about the person than the commerical.

@craigmore
I sorta agree but really for a 2hr film and based on what we have seen and know of the story so far how can much more fit in to surprise us though?
May 15, 2012
Just think about the plethora of crap that is released every year, especially in SciFi! Prometheus will at least be an interesting diversion of horrific proportions. Of course the depressing news is that Avengers and Avatar seem to be the bellweather for the average IQ of the audience.....so expect a lot more crap in your future:O) Ridley is worth the price of admission alone.
May 15, 2012
SHAW LUV.......What ever, like I said before I hope I am wrong .If anyone doesn't think this is a logical deduction from what we have so far then I just don't know what to say. Also if you wouldn't be disappointed by the SJ being the main protagonist then I have grossly over estimated the movie intelligence of some people that love R.S and Alien.
May 15, 2012
Wow, I really am surprised some of you are getting this upset over a very plausible opinion. You act like I just took a giant s%^t on this film and Ridley. I post here because I care and want to be blown away and have watched the original Alien at leasr 20 times.and have been waiting since 1979 for Ridley to return to the Alien universe in whatever fashion he pleases.
May 15, 2012
I agree Dave :)
I think everyone needs to stop getting quite so het up about this and "keep the 'heid", the reason people are having concerns is because they care, just like the people who are trying to reassure us and stop us having these concerns - they also care. The fact that people can actually sit on a board and discuss the reasons that they are having these concerns is a positive thing, even more positive is the fact that we have others to tell is everything's going to be okay :)
Didn't somebody once say that to err is human? Well in this case it's to doubt.
After reading some of the posts these last few days on this and similar subjects, I can safely say I'm no longer worried about this film - but I can understand why people might be.

Spartacus I put a very simaler post to this one! I was not being negitave at all. I hope this movie is a masterpeace and I have high hopes for it. As some one said in my post we will niver get that magic back from alien it was new at the time and no one seen anything like it! Iv been hyped for this movie since it was 1st anounced and still can not wate to see it 'just booked my tickits for the 1st'. There has just been that meny movies that has let us all down over the years not saying prometheus will be a let down as I haven't seen it yet. Anyway people have the rite to there views I guess and that's the best thing about this website :)

Just to clarify even if I am right it will still be better than most Sci Fi we have had the last 30 years, I guess I just want something more ?
