NGR01 spoliers

...so why was the derelict ship abandoned with all those eggs..? @melkor: do you know the answer..? And if you do... ...I don't think I can look..!! ;-)

no movie has ever been the be-all-and-end-all, even my favorite's have certain elements I am not 100% happy with....u can never please everyone...

Bio - I am afraid you will not find out. Not in Prometheus. Juxt- of course not. But you get my point- this won't be close. We have built it up to be a high-brow Sci-Fi masterpiece... It looks like it will prob be just a pretty good movie.

So it looks like RS will make a sequel then..? To help explain things further? I'm only a little disappointed... I'm sure Prometheus will still be a great film!

A sequel is a cert. Lots of loose ends still (Lindelof's style). Hope it will be great!

Hopefull the next installment will be the Empire Strikes Back of the Piece, not the Matrix Reloaded!

I read all the NGR01spoilers, and if anything, it makes me want to see the movie even more. It sounds like what I was expecting and hoping for in this film.

@ melkor I am happy you made this thread, I felt bad about all the hate NGR01on the AVP boards after he took the time to answer all their questions and did his best to tell them why he gave the movie a negative review. I am pretty upset that Scott did the "Lost" marketing campaign strategy of saying the film will tackle "big issues" when it is just your standard scifi horror film (at least as far as the plot is concerned).

you know their has been some very bizarre speculations on these forums....I'm glad that it seems the movie is not gonna be this bizarre mind -fuck Odyssey meets inception nonsense....seriously.. ..just a good deep story with good performances...some horror and action and amazing visuals and set designs...that's all i was asking for and from what i have read those will all be delivered...wrapped up nicely with a red bow!

@ Juxtapose, now when you say "deep" story what do you mean exactly? It sounds pretty shallow to me as the "depth" is only a smokescreen.

@Juxtapose... in general I agree. I don't want a Salman Rushdie set novel in space... But- I would like to see a decent twist/ reveal (which RS has indicated we would see) and the spoilers seen so far don't really seem to show this. Also RS has said this film would tackle big issues so we have been led to expect something amounting to more than your run-of-the-mill Sci-Fi... Yes it ponders the creation of Man. So do some Star Trek episodes. Also- Lindelof and RS comments of late say that the ending will make us watch Alien in a new light/ context, but the spoilers I have seen don't yet convince me this will be the case. 1 year ago I thought that the Engineer on LV-426 was a mysterious dude who had been killed by his own bio-creation in a mysterious way. 1 year from today it seems likely I will think that the Engineer on LV-426 was a mysterious dude who had been killed by his own bio-creation in a mysterious way. I just hope it's more than at the moment I am led to believe it is. I am not a hater. I just want big things! @ Drake. Totally.

the endings a bit shit to be honest...not bothered if the answers to alien were addressed just kinda disapointed with it all..IF it ends up being that way, just cant help but feel its not and hoping RS has hit the nail on the head, but leaving some openloose ends for a sequal! Might aswell stick the fake ending in with shaw and her baby sat watching the sunsent together arm in tenticle! Oh well still gonna have a blast come June 2nd!

PS > I'm from Wigan. Shoot me.

melkor - where u watchin it mate? manchester?

@Drakeequation I also saw the rather abusive comments made towards NGR01 at the AVP site, and I felt bad for the guy. I for one appreciated his honest appraisal of the film, and that he took the time to answer so many questions. His reasons for the negative review are understandable. But for me personally, the aspects he didn't like are not really an issue that would make me not like the movie. We all have different wants and expectations, and In the end, some folks will like the film, and some will not, no biggie. I'm still excited, and looking forward to seeing the film.

@Drakeequation & Melkor Yeah I don't even know what i mean by "deep". I never wanted the plot to get over complicated....but at the same time I don't want it to be dumbed down either....and at this point the spoilers seem very ambiguous in their reviews and kinda polarized...tho their is more positive than negative reviews .... So I am still very curious to see what I might think in the end. I often read reviews of movies i have really loved and then when i read the review I often wonder if those who wrote it even saw the same movie...different strokes for different folks.....oh well... we'll see?!.

Hey Frosty - i live abroad now mate, so I actually get to see it tomorrow evening. Boom! Can't wait...! Dragging the missus at midnight, she is not happy, and if it turns out to not be a great movie I will have egg on my face as I have been bigging it up all year, haha! I really think i will like it, I just think I have bigged it up in my mind massively, and it's been exacerbated by comments from those involved!

melkor - Lol enjoy dude...just get the mrs some popcorn and a drink and take it as a goooood entertainment...im takin the mrs with me on the 2nd...cant come fast enough...just hope thats not the full on ending...but gut feeling is it could be! still doesnt make sense...didnt del toro say there is a twist at the end? similar to at the mnountain of madness?? hmm Oh well Enjoy mate

i've said this before but I guess I will again the concept of meeting your creator and finding out it wants to destroy you isn't deep? the fact they meet their creator isn't deep? so I guess if you met your creator that is just another day? I'm not trying to be rude but please, I don't think we should oversimplify things, sure we knew we would meet our creators, this movie shows us what happens when this occurs. I'm very excited reading these reviews. It's not a "we"overhyped it and are disappointed, it is actually "you" (whomever does this, I"m not pointing a finger) that overhyped it and are disappointed because it isn't what "you" wanted. NGR101 did get abuse over his review and I find it lame and childish. That's why I hang out here and try to promote this as a more adult forum.

@ SiantsSinphony They don't "meet their creator" they meet a soldier who is part of the Alien race that seeded life on Earth (a soldier who then proceeds to try to kill the crew without explanation). This entire concept of meeting your Alien maker only to have them want to destroy you was already done in AVP. If you don't remember, the beginning of AVP shows the Predator race facilitating the rise of advanced human civilization.
