Yeah, me too. My son was covering his ears by the end of it and looked scared. The only movie I've ever seen that was truly scary was watching Alien at 3 1/2 or 4 years old. Scared the shit out of me.

Holy shit this is hilarious (and true)

Adding Prometheus music is all it takes to make Cars 2 seem scary

That was so good

. I'm definitely a massive fan of the trailer's soundtrack!

vampiregenocide · 05-12-2012, 12:46 PM

I'm really hoping alien blood causes this.

GazPots · 05-12-2012, 12:49 PM

That's actually really disturbing.

Noomi Rapace is adorable looking in this.

maliciousteve · 06-01-2012, 09:43 AM

I just got back from seeing this. I was very excited to see it as the trailer looked amazing. However, it was a very good film but it didn't blow me away.

Overall I think it's been over hyped. Worth seeing but I wouldn't rave on about it.

Murmel · 06-01-2012, 10:01 AM

Will see it tonight at the premier. Praying to God that Naomi won't have a horrible Swedish accent.

VBCheeseGrater · 06-01-2012, 10:44 AM

Going to the midnight screening june 7th with my daughter, can't wait for this. Movies like this should be seen in a full theater with the volume cranked.

synrgy · 06-01-2012, 11:07 AM

Having not yet seen the film, I still feel compelled to say this much:

For the better part of the last 3 decades, we've been sorely missing good science-fiction. Sure, we've had a lot of explodey-action-popcorn flicks, and a couple of low-budget-sleepers like Primer along the way, but by and large the entire genre has been a giant ball of suck, with the exception of the rare gems.

It feels like this is the first serious-in-tone, top-dollar-budget sci-fi film to come out in a really, really long time.

With that in mind, it could get 2% on Rotten Tomatoes, and I would still go see it in the theater - maybe even 2 or 3 times - because, as we all know, Hollywood only likes to fund projects which can predictably pull in gajillions of dollars, therefore if we want more legitimate (by 'legitimate' I mean stories of Kubrick/Dick as opposed to those of Lucas/Bay) sci-fi movies to be made in the future, we need to make sure this film pulls in megabucks.

Only semi-related:
My local Wal-Mart had a display stand selling Bluray discs for Alien & Aliens, each coming with a $10-off coupon to see Prometheus in the theater. Worth a look.

Good film. Very tense at times and the CGI/graphics were amazing. Story was a little messy and left lots of unanswered Qs. Hopefully they make a sequel soon!

Captain Shoggoth · 06-01-2012, 05:14 PM

Yeah, went to see it today, kickass film but not quite as good as I was hoping for it to be. This is one film I actually want to have a sequel

Murmel · 06-01-2012, 05:41 PM

Just watched it. Was alright.

As mentioned, I felt like the story was messy. But all in all it was decent.

vampiregenocide · 06-02-2012, 06:35 PM

Just got back from seeing it. So good. More questions raised than answered though.

The squid beast that has been named 'Cuddles' by fans seems to be an oversized facehugger, and then it injected the Engineer with the egg which turned into the proto-alien. Both creatures are so different from the original designs, why? If they're bio-weapons as the film implies, then perhaps they're a different 'model' of xenomorph? With no mention of the original eggs or facehuggers it seems to imply this is a completely separate strain of alien. ....ing weird regardless.

My friend and I hypothesised that they were the earliest forms of evolution for the xenomorphs (as in Darwinian, not lifecycle), engineered by the... Engineers. haha

Phrygian · 06-03-2012, 07:10 AM

A fair few holes in the plot, but nonetheless a great movie! rapache really does great!

Very possible. Another thing I thought is that maybe the xenomorphs are the lifeform that the Engineers intended to populate earth with, not humans. I think David said 'to create, first you must destroy'. Perhaps the Engineers planted human life on earth only as prey for the xenomorphs.

Shit, that's awesome. IIRC you're into Halo, don't know how much you know of the backstory but that idea reminds me a lot of the Precursors and the Flood. Personally I likened the premise to the secondary school biology experiment with the agar plates. When you've finished examining the lifeforms you've used, you dispose of them. Perhaps humans are just germs in the petri dish, so to speak (or in the case of my example, the agar plate)

Very true. It might also be that because the Engineers are more advanced humans, that they look down on the primitive humans they created as they are inferior. Perhaps they view us as primitive animals in comparison, and therefore don't feel morally attached to us. There's also the fact that if it is a military installation, we might have been created as test subjects for the xenomorphs. A whole planet as a weapon testing group for a biologicak super weapon, only it backfired on them before they had the chance to use it. It might explain why the Engineer was so aggressive. Just look at how aggressive and protective our military is when it comes to their secrets.
