Along with the new Batman movie and the new Wes Anderson, it's the only film I'll probably go to see this year.

I have heard people who saw the 3D version didn't think much of the 3D as there was not a great deal of it and being charged for the 3D specs didn't help.

Not sure about those vibrating seats, your back make get a good workout.

Never been to a 3-D movie before, can't say I'm all that bothered about it but we'll see. I'm not sure about the seats either.

Hoping to go see it this weekend, read a couple of reviews all positive about the film, giving it 4 out of 5 stars.

STEED · 06-05-12, 10:20 AM

Come on guys go and see it so we can chat about it.

Dowly · 06-05-12, 10:26 AM

AvPGalaxy.net has a dedicated forum section just for Prometheus if you really want to chat about it.

Hopefully, I'll see it during this week.

Dowly · 06-06-12, 08:22 AM

Finally saw it today and first impressions are quite mixed. Can't honestly say
it left very big of an impression, at least not after first watching.

The Space Jockey design was pretty damn good, tho.

STEED · 06-06-12, 08:38 AM

Engineers Dowly! Space jockey that's Alien!

I will say this...

SPOILER ALERT YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! DO NOT READ THE BELOW!

The trailers were deceptive to a degree.

Same suits, same ships and the need to produce galactic sexual predators because "what could possibly go wrong, right?".

I'm gonna go with Space Jockey.

And pick of the day from avpgalaxy, on what David said to the Engineer:

What he's actually saying is "Your mother sucks ***** on LV-426..."

No wonder he was so pissed.

Dave was such a wimp.

I hope Ridley dose a sequel aa he could tie it in with ALIEN and open the door even more.

In the start the engineer who sacrificed himself how he did it near the water so his dna would spread throughout the world. This was Earth?

I am looking forward Prometheus 2 as I want to know what happens to Shaw, Im thinking how the aliens are in Alien/s films is because they have Shaws (human dna) the engineers at their homeworld use her dna after killing her to further their creation. Shaw is the seed of all aliens after her, thats why the aliens look like they do, kinda like human form legs/arms not looking like some spagetti monster before

So who's tried out over at Weyland Industries?

Egan · 06-07-12, 03:22 PM

Well, I enjoyed it very much. 7.5/8 out of 10 I think. Did feel I abit like two separate movies spliced together, though: A deeper, more philosophical one in the first half, a frenetic, slightly confused space slasher in the second. still good, though.

I thought Idris Elba, Noomie Rappace and Michael Fassbender were excellent, especially Fassbender who was brilliantly 'different' as the - what term are we currently using in the Alien universe - Synthetic.

First 3-D film I've been to as well. Quite enjoyed it. the D-box moving, vibrating chairs were fun too. Would have been quite something to sit in one of them during the drop ship scene in Aliens.

With a 150ft plunge!

I only recognised Idris Elba from the BBC cop show Luther and from CH4 slick vampire one off series Ultraviolet. As for the main cast as whole yes they were a good choice.
