1) There is nothing else like it out there - From the story to the production design, there is nothing else like Prometheus coming to cinema's this year. So, even if the story is utter bobbins, it will be a visual feast that has to be seen on the big screen.
2) Its not a 12A - I can take some comfort in the knowledge that being a 15 rated means we will get some darkness in the usually light and fluffy Summer season.
3) No Xenos? Who cares!!! - I dont know if I am in a minority, but I couldn't care less if there was a Xeno in this film; if the film was called - Alien: The Beginning I would take an issue, but it is not - it is a new story which will - hopefully - have a cool link to the Alien story. Unfortunately, like others have said, Alien Resurrection and the AVP films truly destroyed the Xeno and turned it into a neutered joke - you cannot return from that.
4) The score - I was worried about this one given the calibre of score in at least the first three Alien films but I very much like what Marc Streitenfeld has done and look forward to hearing how it works with the film.
5) Scott and Lindelof - Lastly, I think if the script had been pursued solely with Jon Spaihts input, I think this would have been a dud. But given that Scott and Lindelof gave it a rewrite, I think we will get something special. I believe Spaihts is a hack - harsh? Did you SEE The Darkest Hour - he wrote that film and had easily some of the worst, most cringeworthy dialogue I have ever heard - this is why Lindelof was drafted in and clearly why Spaihts is doing barely any media - IMO.
Those are my thoughts - what are yours? What will it take for Prometheus to ruin your Summer?
