Prometheus

nice, Kevin

I can not wait to see this movie. I'm honestly surprise by it not being a pre-alien movie. I thought for sure that's what it would be.

I hope I can find time to see it. with the NG coming I may not have time for a few weeks.


Hum.... Maybe Friday morning at the NG ;)

I saw it on Sunday and really liked it. I've now got to rewatch Alien to see just how well the story meshes. I thought Alien took place on a moon (LV426?) and Prometheus was on a planet with a moon. That alone doesn't in any way prevent the stories from meshing, I'm just curious.

Prometheus was awesome.

Pretty sure LV426 was a planet, but I could be wrong.

Ridley Scott came out at some point during production and said that it was not a direct prequel, but it does take place in the same "universe" as the alien movies (and that there would be strong tie-ins, etc.)

It also strongly followed many of the same themes as the original Alien, but this movie did a very good job with the subtle things, nuances, etc. Will watch again/watch sequels

There are only two Terminator movies worth watching IMHO, the 3rd and 4th (and soon to be subsequent 5th & 6th) movies were just to make money. Terminator 2 is one of my favorite all time movies, has been since I was a kid. One of the few instances I can come up with where the 2nd movie in a series is stronger than the first.
