Hi everyone, I'm writing this from my cellphone on the night bus which should take me home in about an hour. And I'm running low on battery... Well, I just saw the damn movie! Premiere at midnight in Paris' greatest theater, the grand Rex. It was full of people. Imax 3D. Simply put, I loved it. But it took me a few minutes to realize it because I knew too much of it, and that kind of spoiled it for me. And I knew less than most here. I promise for the sequel I'm not going to watch anything! I could say what others have said, it's beautiful visually. Some images from the trailers were not in the movie but I forgot which (part of a dialogue maybe). After the movie finished I kept thinking myself about the life cycle of the different creatures in the movie. I didn't talk with others (I was alone since my bf stayed home because he's sick, that sucks), but there was A LOT of chatter even in the streets outside pretty far from the theater. Continuing...now didn't want to lose everything. It wasn't clear if people were generally happy or not. A good number seemed unsure, and some were asking what was the point of the movie. One of the critics I'll say is something I've read somewhere. Scott tried to make a movie that can be linked to Alien. That's a good idea, but in doing so, he left out all the people that haven't seen it or don't remember it. Some ideas that can be related to Alien can't be understood without seeing it. And some new ideas brought by the movie can make all this very confused for some people I think. It's like a prequel, but you have to see Alien first. I have seen it so no problem for me, but the harsh critic will mainly come from this I think, misunderstanding. And even if I understood all, I think that it's a valid critic nonetheless. A movie has to be understandable to all. Continuing in these pages...

On my computer back home... much better! Well, as I told I hadn't read all theories here. People have been talking a lot about the last 8 minutes. It's not actually what happens during all those minutes, but parts of scenes that can be seen in the end, and especially the last moments of the movie. These minutes also DO NOT explain how the derelict ship was found on LV426 but they are key for finding clues about how it happend. And I actually am not sure how that happened, I have some possible idea. One theory is that maybe we need a sequel that will explain that part.

This thread IS in the correct place. The "Prometheus Spoiler Board". A "Prometheus Movie Review Board" may be opening up shortly for ACTUAL movie reviews (at which time all the review topics will get moved there with the same "! Spoiler Alert" tags and getting filtered out of the "Latest Prometheus Forum Posts" section).

New post, phone does not like too much text. I'm not going to post spoilers wwithout a spoiler tag, and only if Some people diI find it horrible that some took the time to come at midnight and didn' know it was an alien prequel. A guy told his friend that he thought it was after the end of the movie! Like he didn't have a clue about Weyland industries, the ship or the SJ, or anything! Maybe that's best, I should have asked them what they thought of the movie. But I guess their answer would be : confused. Still I don't see how some of those fkungin 'critics' said that the plot wasn't clear. It was pretty straightforward to me. Everything is shown. No need to interpret what has happened here or there. Of course I'm probably wrong and just saw my interpretation. I'll know tomorrow when I see it again with the bf...

For the most part, you're only going to find "spoiler-free" reviews on this board due to the respect that our members from across the pond have for us in the US. You can, however, send a Private Message to those that have seen it with your specific questions. Please refrain, however, from posting the spoilers until the 8th. -abordoli (staff)

@sean1986 The music was alright. I didn't feel like it built up much tension, but again maybe it was well done and I didn't notice. There was only one part where I thought that the music was really cool, I forgot where. Also I think that one of the reasons I liked the medlab scene was the music, can't remember my brain was glued to the film! mild spoiler : @shambhala (uncharted 2 right?) There definitely are. I won't say more.

Thanks for the link Svanya. Thank you Blood for your critique. From the way you express yourself, I get the feeling that you are being honest and open minded. Which is a good thing.

I will write spoilers here if the staff allows me, but I'll put big spoiler tags at the beginning and the end of these spoiler posts.
