Getting A Little Worried

Right back at you Outlander!

Gee thanks Spartacus... I was only trying to be nice...

@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.

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.

Honestly, whatever we've seen, I think we're just scratching the surface.....

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?

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

"FW", YOU AND CAPTAIN KIRK {NCC-1701} ARE THE KING "ED-MCMANN'S" OF SET UP !!! i'm really a girl inside that just wants to have fun... [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LT.HIGHTIMES/1a1lauper.jpg[/img]

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 ?

Raven, i know u feel attacked, but actually i was trying to make the point that everyone's opinion is valid even if it varies from others.

Raven :) Shawluv :) That's what I'm trying to say - the fact that we all care about this film so much is a GOOD thing :)

Shawnlun , no worrries. Trust me I want this to be a great film and I do care that's why I want something totally fresh,which after all these years of cinema will be hard to do but we have the right man for the job!

Raven - I was concerned too, there were a few RS films out in the last decade which I didn't feel were that great, but now I see them as his way of keeping himself ticking over and able to commit fully to his baby: Prometheus

I just have one thing to say in response to this. C U D D L E S That is all.

LOL! Sukkal you've got cracking comic timing tonight!

Someone called Ridley Scott a root vegetable??? LEMME AT HIM... lol. Some of my best friends are turnips. Sorta.

Well i did right a reply but browser removed it..... Ok basically i am concerned a little because of the so called screening that someone claimed to had seen... now it had holes in it... and if you was not a Harry Potter fan and knew little about Harry Potter movies would you go pay £67 in Travel Expenses to go see that movie even though ticket is free and its a Advance screening.... I know i would not.... But then someone else released on Twitter some stuff and answered some questions that gave some answers simular to that other persons views.... Could they both be lying? As their stories seems that the only connection with Alien is the Engineer (but smaller one) and Derelict Ship (but smaller one)..... The last scenes also does not connect with when Ridley and Co said the last 8 mins will tie into Alien and we would get our answers.... which the plot and clues those who said they had seen the movie, do not give no answers to Alien. Thats a disapointment and while this plot seems ok as stand alone film, its a bit disapointing... and if you are trying to find a link with Alien well its gonna be a massive disapointment..... But then again who can say they are not just making it up... One saving grace for me is the tracks.... Track 25: Birth.... sounds familar to Alien Track 07 The skeleton..... Which gets me to think the Alien one is for that scene, then maybe Birth is what goes with the scene that explains how it got there..... and that hole? Check both tracks out and see if you see what i mean? This combined with Ridley saying the last 8 mins tie into Alien and will make the Fanboys get their wish and leave satisfied, makes me have some faith still.... Compared to the so called pre screening plots ending which is basically a remash of the end of Alien meets begining of Aliens and will totally P off the Fanboys....

Spartacus... I think you've clearly made your point here. There's no way anyone can argue with that LOL

Ridley Scott... #1- Owns You when it comes to film making. #2- Is The 2nd or possibly 1st and highest rated film director in the genre of Science Fiction IN THE HISTORY OF THE ART FORM ITSELF! #3-Made it's predecessor which was a whopping success and still is 33+ years later. #4-Created what may be the single most PERFECTLY made film of all time. The extended cut of Gladiator. #5-Is master of set design and Photography and has numerous awards and degrees in these very fields. #6- Is perhaps the single greatest film STORY BOARDER TO EVER LIVE !!! #7-Also made, as his debut none the less, what is arguable the greatest artistically vibrant debut motion picture from any artist or director in mankind's history..."The Duelists"! #8-Being the actors' director that he is, Scott favors extensive use of the two-camera 'V' set-up, thus enabling his actors to play more fluidly off one another without being constantly interrupted by calls to "Cut!". which is NOTHING LESS THAN GENIUS !!! #9-Usually casts / works with actors who have a strong theatre background and are graduates of drama school. He likes to be personally involved with the casting of his movies as well. Which makes hi "Special" to the people he employs "on set" and everyone else he empowers with just his presence. #10-Has credentials like...Education: West Hartlepool College of Art; Royal College of Art in London, England (Graduated with a B.A. from the Film Arts school); London International Film School (Graduated from the one year master's program where two of his short films won awards). and that's really really just for starters and nothing compared to the rest of it...Do I really need to explain this any further for anyone? Because I haven't even delved into your FAITH IN HIM yet here? Or shall I say again...Your completely insulting, to me anyways...Lack Of It ?

What is SJ ? This is the major secret of movie so be sure it would not waste by showing SJ as a hustling wrestler man who pass the doors of Prometheus without bending himself. Some scenes may figure out and this one not. So enjoy the movie.
