Prometheus trailer

Prometheus is set in the same universe as Alien, but it's not a prequel in that it doesn't background the same characters.

But it's the same story telling universe and the astronauts are from Weyland, the same company that employed Bishop, Ripley and co. It's also set several years earlier than the first one.

Here's an interview in Scientific American with the movies co-writer.

This movie is a must see for me.

I wonder if the movie will end with a beacon going up warning people to stay away (the beacon that draws the Nostromo to LV-426 in the first place). It being Weyland is cool cuz that means that they KNEW what they were sending the Nostromo to investigate

Tell us which flight so we can avoid the ensuing Plane Rage incident.

" they KNEW what they were sending the Nostromo to investigate"
Didn't they establish that already?

They established that Weyland knew it was a warning beacon but sent the Nostromo anyway. This now sets precedence that Weyland already knew what was out there, more or less.

here is a spoiler, well, not really a spoiler since it may save some of you money

this film is fucking bollocks. iced off with the most comedy death of a smart main character I've seen in some time. Like, when avoiding a giant rolling fucking hula hoop, run sideways away from where its rolling, distance required, about 10 feet to be safe, please don't simply run in a straight line along its rolling axis. Cos that would be fucking retarded, just like the stupid bitch that went with the 1500 W iPhone screen glare about 15 minutes from the end right in front of me, oh, and the wanker sat to my left, NO, its NOT fucking OK to walk in with a skateboard if you are older than 11 years old. You twat.

It can't be that bad (avoid spoilers if you want to talk about it). I'm sure it'll be disappointing but decent.

I still can't believe how decent MIB3 turned out to be

Nothing will ever touch the first two Alien movies, but if this is at least good, I'm happy. Doing the midnight showing tonight.

It's mediocre at best. Without spoiling too much there are so many things wrong with this film. Unnecessary characters and scenes, almost no tension and suspense, it's too much like Alien but lacks what made it great, it looks like it's set up for a sequel. Sorry for the rant, I just needed to vent.

So this one you're going to go with "good" prior to seeing it?

S.

Watched Prometheus last night. Best part of the movie was new 007 trailer, and I didn't even realize a new one was coming out. The last one was piece of shit, but Daniel Graig is such a hottie it's a must see. Oh, and Expendaples 2 teaser too. For a long time last two movies I had seen in thearter were John Rambo and Expendaples, both gave me tinnitus. Stallone is great, really underapreciated.

Can't we forget about Prometheus and talk about good movies?
