When i read this it reminds me of  Neil deGrasse 's Complaint on the wrong sky in Titanic.

oh pls DON'T do a sequel, it'll be a waste of time and talent

this movie is on my official list of worst movies of 2012, the no. 1 worst movie is battleship

seriously, this is one of the mindfcuk movie
so many question to ponder upon after you left the hall

<Genesis 1:27>
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

it's kinda funny when i stumble upon friends who didnt like prometheus bcoz of it leaving too many questions than they give answers, but loved alien. if u actually go back and watch alien again, u tell me how many questions ridley left lying around?

i tell u, it's everyone. but bcoz everyone saw alien when they were like 7-8 years old, to them it's so awesome as it freaked the bejeezus out of them. now they're like old farts, trying to find a film the really blows their mind is simply... impossible.

I much prefer Alien to Aliens, but both are great. Aliens has dated in a bad way though, while Alien has aged very gracefully (like 2001: ASO). Still, I know people who prefer Aliens whilst also recognizing the brilliance of Alien. Matter of taste, in the end. And I have nothing against James Cameron. He's a master of modern action.

What I do think is not a matter of taste or subjectivity is that saying Alien had similar questions and closure problems as Prometheus. I would argue that it's an objective fact that the much raised problems of Prometheus do not plague Alien. In Alien we had complete closure to the main thread of the story- Ripley killed the alien and survived. That is something that can't be denied. All other questions- what is the space jockey, the origins of the alien, motives of the company, were secondary to the main thread and were never intended to be answered. The questions they raise were not direct, and only served to complement the main story and give the story more depth. Like
I said, it created a living, futuristic, large universe that existed beyond what was shown on the screen. It gave depth to the story.

Ask yourself this: in Prometheus, did you get any sense of closure? The movie failed to answer any of the main questions it raised, and the questions weren't jut philosophical in nature, they were very much plot-level, and very much the core of what the film was about. It did not come as any surprise to me when I read that Ridley already had a sequel in mind when making this. That much was obvious from watching it.

That said, I eagerly await the sequel. I just do not approve of this style of filmmaking.

"A true prequel should essentially proceed the events of the original film, but be about something entirely different, feature different characters, have an entirely different theme, although it takes place in that same world."

Lindelof explained:
Blade Runner might not have done well [financially] when it first came out, but people are still talking about it because it was infused with all these big ideas. [Scott] was also talking about very big themes in Prometheus. It was being driven by people who wanted the answers to huge questions. But I thought that we could do that without ever getting too pretentious. Nobody wants to see a movie where people are floating in space talking about the meaning of life ... That was already present in [Spaihts'] original script and [Scott] just wanted to bring it up more.

In North America, audience tracking showed high interest among males of all ages, but low interest among females

and even the smartest people can make mistakes --- mistakes of logic and reason at times. some of the science-motivated antarctic expeditions in the 20th century for example (ponies vs dogs for example).

that's the sad part, finding out that she is indeed a human, and with poor survival skills.

i sorta wished she's a droid. i mean why would weyland create a MALE droid? and later, he would design a droid in his image (bishop). man, this guy have serious god-complex issues.

But if you're a virgin to the Alien movies, and had no prior knowledge of the movies (including how legendary Ripley has become), I think it would be still pretty unpredictable as to who gets killed and who survives.

And to be far, that's a comment that is also applicable to Prometheus- if you hadn't seen the trailers and read interviews (pretty much a given in the internet age), you wouldn't be able to guess who dies at the start.

But the difference between the two is, in Prometheus you have characters being really stupid before they die, and in those moments of stupidity the audience knows instantly they are goners. In Alien, some of the deaths are not entirely unexpected, you know in the quiet moments that the alien is going to rip into someone (Dallas looking nervous and lost in the ducts, Brett looking for the cat, the shadow of the alien looking over Parker and Lambert), but none of those deaths were results of acts of stupidity.

In short, when someone dies in Alien, you go "Shit, he's going to die."

When someone dies in Prometheus, you go "Haha, he's going to die."

What did david said to the alien that made him so pissed?

It's kinda meh they didn't continue shaw's story arc searching for the engineer. AC more like it's been ages since Prometheus with Shaw now have died with only David survived on the anonymous planet with a new crew landed with their new adventure.

"Its a very complex story. It's an evolution of what I first did with Prometheus 1, Prometheus 1 was borne out of my frustration that on Alien 1 in 1979 - I only did one as I don't normally do sequels. I was amazed that in the 3 that followed  that no-one asked the question "why the Alien, who made it and why?"

Very basic questions. So I came up with the notion of Prometheus 1, which starts to indicate who might have made it and where it came from.

So I'm now going to the next one, which is the next evolution directly connected with the first one, which was this Shaw, when he replaced Michael Fassbender in two pieces and we'll kind of pick it up there and it will evolve. When that's finished there'll be another one and then another one which will gradually drive into the back entrance of the film in 1979.

So in other words, why was this space jockey there and why did he have an Alien inside him? And those questions will be answered."

Didn't read much of the news

but I think the "David" we saw in the trailer might not be the same David in Prometheus, maybe it's the same android model deployed together with the search team

David, meet David

anyway, from the looks of the trailer, seems like the crash of the spacecraft wasn't that long ago, probably Shaw survived and will meet the new crew
