Not sure how much to believe but they do sound pretty real...
If so I've just ruined the movie for myself!!!

Thats why I avoid stuff atm, poor Svanya had the same ordeal moderating having it all spoiled.
I advise to stay away from more spoiler details and warnings.

SvanyaMay 28, 2012
I sacrificed myself in the line of duty! Seriously, no links and please be careful on Spoiler threads, sometimes it's a person's response on a thread that is the spoiler.

@Orangecat...I think I read the same spoilers as you and if they are in fact legit I still don't feel it has or will ruin the film. In fact, I'm a thousand times more excited now. It seems that everything I wanted to happen does happen and more. That is if they are legit of course.
Man, I can't wait!

orangecatMay 28, 2012
I am totally lame at not reading spoilers so it was probably inevitable - still, SEEing it is not the same as reading it.
Plus I still wanna see how much of a douchebag Holloway turns out to be!!!
PS I would never link to *the other place* or drop spoilerbombs like they do there!!!
(I never knew why you guys hate it so much til tonight, by the way! - Maybe I don't know the full story but they don't seem very nice there...)

Dont read it cos some stuff that sounds silly might look pretty cool on the screen

UnknownMay 28, 2012
Hey guys been reading the reviews, and the post on the other site! I just know this film is not going to live upto the hype! But cmon what film could to ALIEN...... I'm sure I will enjoy the movie as its been said the movie looks fantastic on the eyes and the 3D has set the bar so it will be good to see that. Really tho if its like people say, that the storys flat there's parts that's been cut and its all cramd into 2hours, could be the end of the road for RS and if it suffers at the box office you can be he won't get a blade runner! Anyhow I'll be seeing the movie at 5pasr midnight on the 1st so hopefully I'm worng and I'm comeing back on here witch sheer joy rather than dissapointment......

Seriously, what is the point of this post if some of us have no idea what "site" you are referring to. Just a name, not a link. Lock it down if not!


shambsMay 29, 2012
I agree, I have not ruined my experience with this movie by reading the spoilers. On the contrary increased the Hype for me.
TwitchMay 28, 2012
If youre reffering to the press screening reviews no spoilers there just extreamly vague reviews.
TwitchMay 28, 2012
checked that link and the only thing saw was "human engineer" not sure if that qualifies as spoiler.
ShaneMay 28, 2012
No seriously, the cat is out of the bag. It's up on a couple of the other big forums as well and they all say the same thing [could all the same guy].
SPOILER:
The viewer ended up liking Holloway's character even though he really didn't want to.
TwitchMay 28, 2012
What cat and what bag, please explain. You should verry easilly be able to this without linking to anything.

Deckard_B26354May 28, 2012
It shouldn't be that hard. The I searched a little and found a certain member of another forum spilling all the beans as everyone was asking every question they could think to ask. Staff has already posted that they DO NOT want links to it posted here on this forum so that's not going to happpen.
Like I said before though, I read everything. I pretty much know what heppens. But knowing has not ruined the film for me. Quite the contrary. I'm so much more excited about seeing it now I can't even explain it. It seems to be everything I wanted it to be and the few things that I wanted to see the most are gowing to be shown.
I can't really say if I'd want to go back and not read what I read. I kind of regret it but not really.
Zanyway, if you want to find it, it's not that hard. I will tell you what I read was not on the AVP forum. It's on a Prometheus forum.

GirlWithAPulseRifleMay 29, 2012
It's really not that hard to find. I just googled for it and had no idea what site and found the forum and dudes name literally took a minute. I read some not all spoilers. Not ruined for me plus i have no idea if he is just lying to mess with fans. It's not a huge problem though for me either way it's just like reading a short summary of a book but i'm still stoked to see it on the screen.

CypherMay 29, 2012
Actually AvPGalaxy is fine, there's another site I thought was being alluded to, PrometheusForum.net is the one I was talking about. Seriously bad juju there.

DrakeequationMay 29, 2012
I kind of have mixed feelings about the big spoilers, it makes the movie seem sort of cheesy. On the other hand, it doesn't seem as crazy open-ended as Lost was.

DrakeequationMay 29, 2012
Oh wait, it does seem like the MOST IMPORTANT questions are never answered. BOO!!!!
ShinobiX9XMay 29, 2012
What is the use of a spoiler board if you can't spoil.
Some don't want to be spoiled, they can stay out. Some don't care.

DrakeequationMay 29, 2012
If you really want it spoiled then just know that we never get any answers about the motivation of the Engineers for what they do.

DrakeequationMay 29, 2012
It is just a run-of-the-mill haunted house/ slasher film on an alien planet. It does not sound like a thinking man's film in the least, just a bunch of pseudo-scientific window dressing to get people to think it is more than it really is.

DrakeequationMay 29, 2012
Oh yeah, and the Engineer never communicates about why they want to wipe out Earth, why they seeded Earth, or why he wants to kill the crew. He just wakes up, attacks the crew after he scans David (and rips his head off), and then sends the ship to earth with the intent of wiping us out. Basically we get no further to solving the mystery of why things happen than we did with the trailers months ago.


DrakeequationMay 29, 2012
@orangecat I think the point of having a spoiler board is so we can freely talk about the plot. What did you think of the big reveals?
ArtmonkMay 29, 2012
If all the spoilers turn out to be true and it looks like they are legit then I have to say I am a little bummed. Its sounds like this Lost writer Lindenhof thought he could get away without any reasonable explanations for at least some of the big questions in the movie like SJ origins/motives. You can get away with that kind of writing in TV because you want the people to watch next week so you draw stuff out, give half assed or answer a question with a question solutions, but in a movie things need to progress,questions need at least some resolution. I'm not saying they need to spoon feed everything or resolve everything, but not give us lazy Lost like non resolutions that use the we want the viewer to interpret what happened, which is just code for we couldn't come up with anything good so well let you make some shit up about what you think it is. Oh well, Im sure it will still be worth my money to see it, but Ive tempered my expectations.
Also if it is Shaw and David that survive, I dont see how they can create a viable sequel, whats it gonna be called? Shaw and Davids awesome space adventure to the SJ home planet?

DrakeequationMay 29, 2012
@Artmonk I think most people will be very disappointed that there is no motivation provided for why the Engineers do what they do. The explanation seems to be that the Engineer is just a soldier that is part of a military unit following orders (who gave him those orders and who is in command is never revealed). The Engineer who sacrifices himself in the beginning is also presumably under orders but no explanation is given for why he does what he does either. At the end of the film, Shaw is still wondering why they would seed life on Earth only to want to destroy us later. That does not seem like some profound mystery and, more likely, is just lazy writing. Let us be honest here, writing the motivation for why the Engineers do what they do would take a great deal of thought and research. It would actually involve fleshing out the entire mythology of the alien race and involve a great deal of talent, scientific knowledge, and time. On the other hand, saying that there is a motivation, but never actually providing one, takes almost no effort and conveniently sets up a beginning that seems epic and also gives you room to turn the advanced alien life form into a B movie monster at the drop of a hat. One moment they could be noble and seeding life on Earth and at the next they could be killing everyone on the planet. Why? Because we said so that's why! See how that is lazy writing?

@Drakeequation
While i guess it is on a spoiler board....
Some may feel that your comments have given away a bit too much for them....
Me included lol....
I never read your stuff word for word, but again if i never wanted to be spoilt then i should had avoided any Prometheus fan sites lol...
Some have said they find the reasons, some not so, and its all to do with the ambiguous type of story telling that Lindelof does.
No Direct Answers, but clues that help people to make their own Answers so some would see answers, different to what others see, while others will not see no answers because they would only see things as needing to be shown in hard fact and not things that just fuel speculation.

@ BigDave if you didn't want spoilers then going into the spoiler board on a forum for the movie was a really bad idea. The label it SPOILER BOARD for a reason lol
