Merc firing rifle in star map room

that interview in the newspaper was fake....and she is still in the film at least to the point where it is kicking off when the guys are firing pistols

@fury...right. 28 minutes in, aka, 1/4 of the way through the film, i doubt they've even left the ship yet.

[quote][i]@aintnozeno...is that Shaw? ive yet to see a clean look at that characters face.[/i][/quote] I'm not even sure. Whoever it is would be the most realistic character in the film, because they aren't wasting a perfect opportunity to bug out! Chain gun in hand? I'll stay and fight... Un-armed and wearing a fishbowl on my head? All I have to do is outrun YOU. Mama didn't raise a complete idiot, though my wife often disagrees...

28 minutes in a 119 minute movie? I bet shit is starting to get real by that point. I'm hoping they spend little time on the ship or with the crew. But that is mostly because I find the crew completely uninspiring. I am more interested in the engineers story then how they defeat him or whatever. Like to me the crew is cannon fodder to tell the story of a god that maybe created us along with a lot of nasty other things. I have no interest in their characters [as they all seem to be walking cliches, Shaw the scientist losing her faith, Vickers the hard ass who cracks under pressure, David the annoying robot who gets his head ripped off in a scene that will be hard for me to not clap during, The wise cracking black captain, etc etc etc]. I just am more interested in the alien world and culture. Seems we are going to get more "Monsters chasing shit in space" then "2001" at this point. If we look at what we have seen clip wise so far, all that has to take place in 107-109 minutes as the last 10 minutes hasn't been seen by the trailer editors. That seems like a hell of a lot for that time frame. So yeah, 28 minutes in i figure heads start rolling.

she is in the movie longer than 28 mins

I count 7 space jockeys running in the hologram. Looks like they encountered the same disasterous consequences the humans did.
