Prometheus Review Thread (Spoilers)

[kristoffer]

I just read the new Empire Magazine and I am a little disapointed that the

[Show spoiler]elephant look for the Space Jockey is a mask and that it looks human underneath.

Yes. Lots of meat in that article The author was on the set in June 2011. His description of the sets is exciting. While the Engineer looks human,

[Show spoiler]he is significantly taller and blue and apparently had a bad case of acne in the past.

On the plus side, chances are good that we'll get our choice of cuts when it comes to disc (theatrical vs unrated).

However, It is one of those Iconic movie moments, isn't it ? I mean, If you ask somebody what their favourite scene was from alien or even the Quadtrilogy most would reference that scene.

I am with though. The Atmosphere is amazing and one of the more memorable parts of the movie.

It is indeed iconic; I do get all excited when the scene comes up. It's just not the first thing that comes to mind when I think of the film.

sorry but there are too many trailers and too much info to take in

[RJ Smoove]

Joliefan, you don't have to write "BIG SPOILERS". That's what tags are for.

[MykeHavoc]

Man. These new trailers legitimately freak me out. I haven't felt this unnerved by a trailer in decades.

[Brightstar]

They are very scary i still cant make up my mind if i want to see this or not. I dont want to walk out of the cinema half way through the film

Same here, except for the decades part. I've only been alive for two.

[menaceuk]

No more trailers for me. I just need to watch the damn movie

[Brightstar]

This might be the ending..

looks like the Space Jockey is the same one who is found in Alien and in the last 8 minutes we will get to see an Alien Queen bursting out of his ribcage and presumably laying the eggs that poor old Kane ends up with.

Do you mean it might be too scary for you? I think any casual fan of sci-fi owes it to themselves to see it.

I'm only 26, but I can honestly say films haven't scared me since I was about 6. I started watching intense horror at the age of 3, so within a few years, it was all yawns for me

Who the **** lets a 3 year old watch Intense Horror , Or was this a sneaky, sneaky, steal daddy's movie situation.

I am with ya though. I haven't seen one Horror movie that actually scared me since I was like 10 ( nightmare on elm street ) although, PG 13 horror was never really going to cut it, was it

You gotta take the era I grew up in into consideration. Young baby-sitters in the late 80's and early 90's loved franchise horror films and would often get together with their friends at my place and watch them continuously, not taking my presence into consideration. I have fond memories of sitting at the crack of a door or from behind couches, watching Halloween and Nightmare on Elm St sequels intently. I distinctly remember staying up on halloween nights to catch showings of Creepshow or the Blob remake. There was also a lousy roommate of my moms who had the nerve to show me a bootleg of Akira when I was like 5. That shit scarred me.
The early 90's was also the rise of Monstervision with Joe Bob Briggs. You can bet that my ass was planted on the couch every Saturday night, watching the likes of the Night of the Living Dead remake, the Return of the Living Dead films, The Funhouse etc. Also was USA Up All Night, which often showed Friday the 13th marathons and such. Needless to say, it was a great time to be a kid. Cartoons kicked ass, toys kicked ass, breakfast cereal kicked ass, and late night movies on TV were still a staple. I miss it dearly.

I just discovered that the Cinematographer is the same guy that shot Dark City.
