The opening scene.
An Engineer with the black goo, presumably on Earth.
DNA in water, presumably become life's DNA on earth.

Awesome, awesome, awesome

did janek and vickers had sex?

Although Vickers is actually not a robot

but yeah they did

rofl

anyway 2 questions

What did David say in the beginning about pain... Been trying to recall what he said since it was a really awesome quote. What is it?

Prometheus is funking awesome. watched it just now.

damn you ridley!












To those incapable to comprehend the movie, or felt the movie leaves too many ambiguous holes for you, or like a chap who walked past me during end credits said "what the funk did i just watch" to his friends...

Don't be too hard to oneself, perhaps this movie is not meant for some. i suggest then indulge oneself to talking animals (madagascar 3), or even await for the highness nolan's DKR.





i will pay to watch, again (ice queen) Meredith Vickers doing push ups. also what a pick up line by janek

Wtf! How come this movie just only release and now they are no longer showing in 2d???? Like 1U the other day I check Gsc web site have 2d, today no more 2d screening.

my only burning question

caution, external references needed:

of course, ridley did mentioned on one of the interviews, but he is the type to leave it open for interpretation



perhaps to those who didnt catch all the viral video (of young guy pearce), here is the transcripts of that video

Peter Weyland
T.E. Lawrence, eponymously of Arabia but very much an Englishman, favoured pinching a burning match between his fingers to put it out. When asked by his colleague William Potter to reveal his trick, how is it he effectively extinguished the flame without hurting himself whatsoever, Lawrence just smiled and said, "The trick, Potter, is not minding it hurts." The fire that danced at the end of that match was a gift from the Titan Prometheus, a gift that he stole from the gods. And Prometheus was caught, and brought to justice for his theft. The gods, well, you might say they overreacted a little. The poor man was tied to a rock, as an eagle ripped through his belly and ate his liver over and over, day after day, ad infinitum. All because he gave us fire. Our first true gift of technology, fire...


Peter Weyland 100,000 BC: stone tools. 4,000 BC: the wheel. 900 AD: gunpowder - bit of a game changer, that one. 19th century: eureka, the lightbulb! 20th century: the automobile, television, nuclear weapons, spacecrafts, Internet. 21st century: biotech, nanotech, fusion and fission and M theory - and THAT, was just the first decade! We are now three months into the year of our Lord, 2023. At this moment of our civilization, we can create cybernetic individuals, who in just a few short years will be completely indistinguishable from us. Which leads to an obvious conclusion: WE are the gods now.


Peter Weyland: To those of you who know me: you will be aware by now that my ambition is unlimited. You know that I will settle for nothing short of greatness, or I will die trying. To those of you who do not yet know me: allow me to introduce myself. My name is Peter Weyland, and if you'll indulge me, I'd like to change the world.




you can deduce that mr weyland is a driven man. a rich, a beyond imagination of wealth ambitious man, fuelled with desire to "go to extremes, to boldly go where no one has gone before"





was catching up on one of the prometheus forums (discussions in 2011), apparently there were comics of the "alien" series. it touches also on the space jockey. picked a quote out.





i not saying one must read beforehand or to have a better understanding. i think it's not A must to read before one watch, but it only goes to show it's consistent to what was already OUT there, this ridley's prometheus movie.


*I don't advocate one to MUST read books or comics to appreciate the movie. the movie can standalone. it's a choice of appreciation.

Everybody knows this..Alien Resurrection is utter crap LOL.

Above points are just own ramblings ...

Kinky lesbian androids 5eks ... rated more than R ... AO or M, haha.

Btw, as mentioned elsewhere ...
Alien's android name - Ash
Aliens' android name - Bishop
Alien3's android name - Bishop
Alien 4's android name - Call
Prometheus' android name - David
'Prometheus:Paradise's android name - Ellen Ripley'

(off topic - Deckard in Blade Runner's sequel novelization is hinted to being an android himself)

1st time watched in cinema long time ago, quite enjoyed it.
Re-watched the special edition cut recently, thought it tried to be funny but doesn't really suit the movie ... maybe as Joss Whedon (the writer of Alien 4) said, if the director didn't play it straight and follow exactly his script, maybe the humour will be witty type.
Anyway, I liked the idea of Ripley's clone and her extra-human strengths ... now she knows the feeling of not being fully human.
