*I just want to point out here that they have a gallery on the website claiming that photos they have are "new," "never seen" and "exclusive," none of which is true. The photos they are showing have all been posted here at one point or another, many of them some time ago.*

In the body of the review it mentions that a coda, or post-credits scene, apparently sets the stage for a sequel, so consider that solid confirmation for those of you wondering.

MemberOvomorphMay-30-2012 4:37 AMI'll post the specific paragraph it stems from when I get back to my desk.
Edit:
As the survivors are pared down to a precious few, the grisliness and gross-out quotient increases; a self-inflicted Cesarian section may be a screen first (certainly the result of it is), while Fassbender's fate is similarly imaginative and far funnier. This project started life as an intended prequel to Alien but morphed into something else. Unfortunately, the closer it comes to a climax, the more you feel the elements being lined up to set the stage for a sequel to this film, most of all in a coda that feels like a craven teaser trailer for the next installment.

Co-AdminMemberOvomorphMay-30-2012 5:22 AMI think they're talking out their arses in this case, as I put in the OP, the photo gallery they have up tries to advertise "new" "never seen" "exclusive" photos, all of which have appeared here at some stage or another.

MemberOvomorphMay-30-2012 7:52 AMThe word "coda" does in no way imply that there is a scene after the credits. It could mean that, yeah, I suppose. But a coda is just a closing statement that could or will lead to something else.

MemberOvomorphMay-30-2012 7:55 AMFor some reason can't edit my damn post AGAIN!
A coda is a concluding part of a literary or dramatic work. So even I was wrong when I said it could or will lead to something else. Although usually when I hear it it is used in that context. Like a cliffhanger. But I've never used it in terms of a scene after the end of the credits.

MemberOvomorphMay-30-2012 7:55 AMI think the coda is referred to in "one" of the reviews as simply a fade to black at the end of the film, before the credits, then the scene, then roll credits.
Still makes no sense to me why they put that particular scene in at all, but I guess we'll confirm it soon enough.
Edit: Looks like Deckard beat me to it... What he said!

MemberOvomorphMay-30-2012 8:00 AMYeah - coda doesn't mean 'sequence after the credits'... it means the end section ;-)

MemberOvomorphMay-30-2012 12:28 PMI know what coda means in literary terms, but I was pretty sure we were discussing film.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-credits_scene
The fifth synonym is coda. When referencing the book-end of a film, which comes post credits, coda is the term to use.
The author would have used climax if that is indeed what he really meant.
If anything, though, I imagine he meant something ala the last episode of Season 4 of Breaking Bad, where the camera pans over to an important item after the episode has finished, but before the credits have rolled.

MemberOvomorphMay-30-2012 12:29 PMLiterally all it would have taken one of you, apparent, EngLit grads is a quick google of the terms 'coda' and 'film'.
