I fucking love it. Irrationally so.
I really liked the look of the trailer a lot... but then again I enjoyed the hell out of Prometheus. There's always one, isn't there? -

Registered 17 years agoI like Prometheus but it's a giant cock tease of a film. It literally looks like an Alien script that's had the aliens removed & replaced by generic pink space things instead (which I realise is exactly what happened.) Then they throw in that final shot which is the ultimate cock tease & it ends. Fucking beautifully shot film though.
If this actually makes a bit more sense of the first film & gives us what most people wanted (an actual Alien prequel) then I'll be happy. The trailer certainly looks like it does that.
I kinda get why they've thrown a gore-filled trailer out as well, given that Prometheus was incredibly tame & was shot with a pg-13 rating in mind. This is basically giving all of the complainers first time around exactly what they wanted.

Registered 16 years agoPrometheus is a good film that relies on a few acts of utter idiocy to move the plot forward.
The world building, the lore, the ships, the planets, the tech and a handful of the characters are all good stuff but the things that linger in most people's minds are the idiot who tried to stroke the space cobra and the girl who couldn't run left. -

Registered 18 years agoWhen I watch Charlize running in her latest perfume advert I like to imagine that, when she falls over at the end, she's going to be rolled over by a massive spaceship. Again. -
I thought Prometheus was a bit staid, and was inhabited by rather tedious characters who sometimes behaved in remarkably dumb ways. And I found the squid silly.
That said, it looked incredible at times and Fassbender was great.
I'll almost certainly see the new film, but I'm remaining sceptical. -

A building sized object has just been obliterated above your head. You can run about 10mph. Debris is falling about the place. Youd be in a panic, totally shitting yourself.
You're really going to stand there, consider your options etc.
Its akin to asking why so many victims, chased in films, run up stairs.
They are running for their lives. -

As much as I can understand this rationale, it still looks a bit silly on film.

That's why it's infuriating watching people run from chasing cars in films. -

I mean I could totally understand if we were talking about Robocop. He would stand there, look up, analyse the descent pattern and position himself accordingly.
Me? Id just fucking run. -

Registered 18 years agoThe entire run from the rolling spaceship needed the Benny Hill playing.
Luckily I am not alone in thinking this.

I do agree with you on this. Having just watched it the other day this part doesn't bother me so much. It could have toppled either direction while rolling, and frankly it would have been anyone's guess which way to run to be safe.

The stupid botanist, the scaredy-cat geologist, and the deeply unscientific scientist are what lingers for me. -

They set off across the galaxy because of some cave paintings just 'because'.
They also infer that these people are somehow the creators of the human race and all life on earth for absolutely no reason.
There's also a dude at the start who does something with the black goo because ????
bobbins the whole film
