Prometheus

...well sorry all you fartwads in the US, but i just saw a movie you won't get for another week. :p

i must say...if you like the alien saga, this movie is a MUST SEE. the tie-ins are very subtle & well done. i get the impression that ridley scott is kind of circumventing the AVP storyline, as there were only ties to the original movie--and strong, but not overwhelming ones.

nothing groundbreaking, nothing bombastic, yet nothing underwhelming. it probably won't stick in your mind like the one-liners that the avengers has, but still a very solid movie. i'd give it an A-.

Thanks for the review, I plan to watch it next week

:highfive:

I rarely go to movies anymore, but I think I'll go see this one. The original Alien movie is one of my all time favs.

All I needed to hear, I'm a BIG fan of the first 2 movies and enjoyed some of the others. I hope this is a prequel to the 1st Alien movie.

Of course I've seen every Alien(s) and/or/vs Predator(s) movies... I very rarely go to the theater, but I do for these :lol: They always disappoint me because nothing compares to Alien and Aliens, but I can't help myself.

I think I saw Alien when I was like 8 or 9. I watched Aliens SO many times growing up. I couldn't get enough of the scene where the marines go into the Alien hive. Just saying that makes me want to watch it again... "DRAKE!!! WE. ARE. LEAVE-ING!!" Hicks is the shit. I'm almost ashamed to admit that I just recently saw the first 2 Terminators :o They always looked so dumb (they kind of were)

So I read the first line of your post and replied because I assume there are spoilers/expectation-builders in there.

Seems to be more its total shit than its a must see on the interwebs anyway...

Still on the fence myself but will most likely go see it.

do NOT go see it expecting a prequel to alien. it does tie in...but if what you expect is more of the same, you'll be disappointed. scott did not want to cover the same ground, and i applaud him for it.

p.s.
noomi rapace is one of my new favorite actresses---she did an AMAZING job in the sweedish (original & best) version of the millenium series (girl with the dragon tattoo). the 6-part series is on netflix if you want to watch it.

I honestly don't want to see a modern day version of alien but I was hoping this would be what happened before alien. Seeing the space jockey and his ship in the previews is what really made me jump up and down excited to see it.

Thank you, nameless/faceless purple fetishist. :wink:
