As far as I was concerned my investment character-wise was solely extended to Shaw, Holloway, Vickers, Janek, Fifield...and David. I have a hard time investing is the rest of the cast from the knowledge gleaned thus far. Not sure, in a way, we're supposed to anyway. In Alien, Lambert was hardly a compelling character nor was Brett, and Parker was mildly so due to his last brave act.
At least it seems whom they have made an effort for us to focus on...of those, Janek, Vickers and Holloway are the most typecast, David the most intriguing, Fifield compelling (to me), and of course Shaw is the center.

According to this guy I was talking about, there is one hell of a third act, like a roller coaster ride that comes to an abrupt end. Supposedly, none of the trailers we have seen prepares you for that third act.

90's born people are going to love this movie, provided that they have patience for it after micheal bay and other fast pace sci-fi flicks.
Uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security.

I have a feeling that there are going to be questions that go answered. At the same time I think that after seeing Prometheus we as fans are going to pick up clues from the movie Alien itself. It is of my opinion that the Xenomorph in Alien is going to look familiar to us. I wish that I could describe to you exactly what I want to say. I hope you guys understand me.

I trust Ridley, but Im not so sure about this reviewer. I looked at some of his past reviews and he gave Iron Man 2, Tron: L, Surrogates, and even the last Underworld movie between 8 and 10 stars. And he gave Moon a 5.

loved Moon. a bit to the 2001 side... but quite good

the best thing about this review is the user doesnt appear to be some die hard super Alien fan, yet he still labels it a classic. i think those of us who grew up with Alien and Aliens and have seen both movies hundreds of time as i have are going to think this movie is the greatest thing ever

Now I bet this has been discussed over and over on other threads, but how come the Space Jockey in the first Alien was like petrified, and also the chamber containing the eggs and the eggs themselves seemed to be very old... if the Xenomorph didn't exist by the time the events from Prometheus take place and evolved from the other creatures featured on the new film, that would be a big problem.

The space jockey was petrified. Dallas the captain says it himself in Alien. I think that Ridley has stated that the space jockey is very old. I dont know how old, but old.

Yeah David 1, Moon is really solid. Its not about plot, its not about production values, it's about character. And Sam Rockwell killed it.

Well i can tell you one thing THAT MOVIE WAS THRILLING but we still don't know what happened to the space jockeys. Guess we'll have to wait for the sequel. THANKS RIDLEY...
