Prometheus IMAX 12:01 Poster Giveaway!

Growing up there has been a few movies that have really turned me on to filmmaking. One of those films was Alien. It was also a film I grew up watching with my best friend. When I heard Prometheus was being made I became very excited. I was excited to hear that Prometheus wasn't going to be a direct prequel to Alien, which would allow me to immerse myself in something that didn't need to be tied-down to another film. After avoiding anything that could be a spoiler I was ready to watch the movie. What I didn't know is that I was being surprised with my best friend, too. My family had set it up to fly my friend down for the weekend (who I haven't seen in years!) to watch the film and hang out with me. Not only is Prometheus a new inspiration to me (I'm an aspiring filmmaker), but it was a connection to my old friend, which made the film even more special. THIS NEXT PART CONTAINS SPOILERS TO THE FILM. DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED! The reason why Prometheus was so successful as a film (in my opinion, of course) was because of the questions it asked, and because it didn't always give an answer. I think this is more powerful than just answering everything because it makes the audience think - not only during the movie, but after with other people who have seen it. This also creates a stronger and more passionate fan community, because it allows people to express their thoughts and ideas. Prometheus also had a wonderful cast, and the acting was superb. The highlight for me really is Michael Fassbender as David. Fassbender did such a wonderful job that I'd find myself questioning David as an android, and having to remind myself that he his just a robot. Michael's portrayal as David made it almost difficult to tell if he was speaking really matter of fact or being sarcastic, which was fantastic! Another standout performance was Noomi Rapace and Elizabeth Shaw. The main reason why this was such a standout to me along with David's character was the change that Shaw went through. In the beginning you see her as an excited and curious scientist. But eventually when Charlie Holloway is killed you start to see the change. It's the realization that these Engineers wanted to do away with humans and seeing someone she loved be killed. My favorite scene in this film had to be when Shaw finds out she has an alien inside of her. I think Noomi Rapace did a wonderful job during that scene. It was very intense and you could definitely get a feel for that as the viewer. I think it also showed the difference between Shaw in the beginning and Shaw at the end of the film. She's not the same scientist with the child-like sense of curiosity anymore, but instead she's fighting for herself and survival. All in all, I just really loved this movie and can't stop talking about it!

I was 12 years old when i first saw the ALIEN on the TV. It was shocking and impressive all at once. I am hardcore fan of ALIEN since then, but i very like the sequels too. I have the four Alien film on DVD, i want to buy on Blu-Ray them, i have all the Aliens vs Predator PC games and i am waiting for the Aliens: Colonial Marines. Unfortunately, i haven't seen one of the Alien movies in theaters. Therefore, the Prometheus filling the blank in this respect. When Fox announced that a new Alien film is coming and that movie isn't a sequel but a prequel, i was very happy. Then, when it was revealed that the movie isn't a direct prequel but a new story, a new mithology in the Alien's universe, this brought me even more excited. Then slowly came June 2012 and the Prometheus moved to the cinemas. When the film started, that's all I said to myself: finally. "I think they want us to come and find them." The story is based on the paleoastronautics and the ancient aliens theory, which I think is a pretty interesting, but controversial and much-despised things, many people think these just a pseudo-scientific fantasies. The universe is exist and the Prometheus extends the saga what was started in '79 well. Creation, destruction and death. These three word is I can characterizing the Prometheus in a few words wherewith, but much more of in it. "The Prometheus has landed." The USCSS Prometheus is one of the coolest spaceship what i saw in a sci-fi. Stunning interior and exterior features of the massive and graceful ship. The LV-223 has a quite dark and sinister atmosphere. The internal structure of the alien pyramid is very cool, it has many secrets, mystery and danger. I wonder what happened 2,000 years ago, which resulted in the LV-223 "residents" destroyed, why not others has been launched to destroy the mankind? Interesting questions, i hope we get answers in the sequel. "We call them Engineers." In '79 the, the so-called Spac Jockey was left behind a big mystery, who was he, what he come from? We know now that they are the engineers and mentors of mankind, who for some reason they want to exterminate their creatures. They aren't an elephantine race, that look like due to his biomechanical suit. I like this conception. "The one thing that David will never have: a soul." The humans are playing god as the Engineers. The Weyland Industries has created a synthetic person what is a perfect replica of the man, just it has no soul. Michael Fassbender acted David masterfully, all his movements, sounds, facial expression was brilliant, i hope he is "cured" in the sequel. "What the hell is going on down there!?" In the movie, a little horror also got a place. Although i not very afraid of the horror scenes, but very nice to see the references to the Alien and this scenes are looking good on the screen. I like all these scenes. At the Fifield-Millburn vs. Hammerpede scene the voice acting is very good, Fifield's return and massacre is masterfully well-composed, Shaw's self-operation is shocking but a little bit strange, because I do not think she could really stand up after that operation, but this is a movie and anything can happen therein. At the birth of Deacon alien i was creeps, another unanswered question at the and, brilliant. I think, this crature is more intelligent than the original Alien, because it has human and Engineers DNA, not only human DNA. "I want to go where they came from…" I look forward to the sequel. I wonder, Shaw will got answers to the: "WHY?" on the planet of the Engineers. I hope we get more answers and more questions will be raised in the sequel. In fine: The Prometheus is brilliant and fascinating film and exciting from start to end. Movie of the year to me. I think Peter Weyland's death is very ironic. He was killed by one of that creature who engineered the mankind, with that creature's head what was engineered by him.(I hope you understand this.) I can not wait for the extended cut, i think we will got an absolutely new experience with that version of the film. This is my opinion. Thanks to 'Engineering' and to the site for the chance. Good luck to everyone. And sorry for my bad english.

[b][i]I'M ADDING A NEW 1ST PLACE GRAND PRIZE![/i][/b] I recently ordered the new [b]Cinefex[/b] issue which has an AWESOME Prometheus article in it. You may have seen scans of it in the news thread. This is NOT a copy of CINEPLEX which was given away free at the theatres. This is a copy of CINEFEX magazine as posted about in the news section [url=http://www.prometheus-movie.com/news/246]here.[/url] Well, there was a mistake with my order and I thought I wasn't going to recieve it so I bought one at Barnes&Noble. Turns out that my order is coming so I will have an extra. Only sucky part is that it's the Avengers cover, not the Prometheus. So, there will be 1 Grand Prize Winner which will recieve the[b] Issue of Cinefex AND the 12:01 poster [/b].

Holy cow, I have three myself already grabbed 7 on the way out of the theater that nite and gave 4 away already !!! LOL, they're awesome!

As I said in my review, I am more of a Ridley Scott fan, than an Alien fan. Blade Runner was my favorite film (followed closely by Chris Nolan's Inception and Gladiator) until I saw Prometheus. Film is after all a primarily visual medium, and Ridley Scott is a true artist in visual composition. For two hours I felt I was THERE watching these events unfold in front of me. Not once did the illusion slip. As absorbing as the visual aspect of the experience was, I was absorbed in the subtleties of the relationships between the primary characters. The portrayals by Rapace, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba and of course Fassbender were of the first order, and Fassbender is a sure Oscar candidate. Underlying all this richness were the themes that were symbolically played out, about the tensions between parents and children, creators and creations; about what it means to be human, and where the boundaries of human-ness really are; faith versus reason; and the arrogance of intellect that loses its compassion. Profound issues indeed. I have been struck by the polarization among viewers of the film. From my perspective, those who hated it wanted something else, either an Alien prequel that spelled everything out a la George Lucas, or a more linear plot, or something. I loved the film and it still has me thinking two weeks after seeing it (and I am going to see it again). My wife loved it, thought it was brilliant, as did my 11 year old son. They went into it with few expectations and took it purely for what it was. It really, truly, is a work of art, one that is beautiful, frightening, horrifying, uplifting, and most of all, thought-provoking. If Ridley Scott stopped making films now, it would be a terrific capstone to his career. As it is I look for a number of equally or even better films from him in the future. He truly is at the height of his powers.

i would also really want one for my garage ( man cave ) thanks

Love reading all your stories!

Deadline is creeping up! Make sure you eneter for your chance to win a 12:01 poster and copy of Cinefex magazine with the Prometheus article!

Contest is over. We will be judging the submission shortly and announce the winners soon. A big thanks to everyone who entered for your great submissions. Good luck!

And the grand prize goes to... [b]DesperateHouseWife![/b] The runners up are... [b]EVERYONE![/b] Yep, that's right! EVERYONE who entered is a winner! Everyone will get a poster thanks to Chris and Antony(aka Abordoli) who donated enough to cover all participants! I'd like to thank everyone for all the great entries. Members like you guys really make this forum what it is. And what it is is an awesome place to get to hang with intelligent and fun people who have the same interests. An extra special thanks goes to the site Admin, Chris and Antony aka Abordoli. Without them this contest would not have been possible. Thanks to all the staff for working so hard to keep this place under control!

WOW! thank you SO MUCH for choosing me! *tears of joy* congratulations to everyone!

[b]HOLY....[/b] I was prepared to give my usual "Goddammit I never win anything" speech, and then I read that all participants won! I had no idea, and I'm glad I stopped by! Thanks to all that made this possible! If someone sent an email about the results of this contest, I did not receive it.

Wow that is amazing! Are we really all getting posters? Prometheus, are you seeing this!?

Yes, everyone that posted an entry is getting a poster. I do need to add a few comments here as sending pms to all participants is very time consuming. First off, as all participants know from the pm I sent you, I am having to wait for some of the extra posters to be sent to me. After they get here I'm going to allow 1 extra week for members to claim their prize. I've already got pms from many of you. So, to make it fair to everyone, I'm going to wait until the extra posters arrive, then I'm going to pack them, then I'm going to allow ONE EXTRA WEEK for anyone who has not claimed their prize yet. If all are claimed then this will be negated of course. But since it's not fair to me to have to go back and forth to the post office 20 times and it's not fair for you guys to have wait eons to get your posters this is the best and most fair option I could think of. If you are going to be taking some time off from the forum please pm me your email address so I can get ahold of you in case I need anything further. Also, please check back to this thread from time to time as I might be making updates that you may miss. Sorry for the semi-confusion. This is the first time I've done anything like this so I'm learning as I go. I hope it's al; worth it to you guys. Oh, and feel free to discuss any of the entries if you wish. Regards, Engineering

Quick heads up. I'm still waiting on the extra posters to arrive but as of now I'm going to give everyone who enetered 1 more week to send me your info and claim your prize. I will be contacting everyone who does claim their prize about 10 days from now with further instructions. So, if you want your poster make sure you email me your address quickly. After 7 days from today there will be no going back. Sorry about the long wait guys. You will soon have your posters though. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Whatever happened with this contest? Did anyone get their poster yet?
