Ridley Scott's Prometheus

[Katana1000S]

Its certainly the best 3D I've ever seen.

Heard it took 50 million in the first weekend of its US release and that's a pretty healthy take in the current global financial climate so we probably will see a sequel to this prequel of sorts in time

For sure its got everyone talking, I don't think Ridley likes crystal clear films, he likes folk to come away thinking about what they have just seen, but in saying that we'll probably get more answers in the inevitable Dir cut?

I'd advise anyone going to see it to forget about Alien/Aliens and imagine this is a separate entity perhaps in a parallel universe.

I agree, lots of people are saying they didn't enjoy it but I think that coming out the cinema thinking and questioning the film is a better experience than being spoon fed all the answers! Also Ridley Scott always seems to give better versions in directors cuts so will look forward to the DVD release to see if there are more differences.

Apparantly there will be two more films along with Prometheus as kind of a prequel trilogy, hope that is true as I really enjoyed the first one!

Ok, I finally managed to watch it, and I still have mixed feelings about it (although it mildly influenced my dreams last night, so at least on a subconscious level I must have enjoyed it!).

I think there needs to be a distinction here between the Alien series fans and the newcomers though: it might all look very cool to people that never saw the Alien series, but for the others I'm sure you might have been left a bit puzzled with all the more or less evident quotes and references from the previous movies.. I mean, were they really necessary? I know they needed to create a series of hints for continuity, but they've done it in a sort of silly way.. I wonder whether it could have been written better (not to mention the weird plot holes here and there).

As a sci-fi film per se it was thoroughly enjoyable, but I was kind of expecting a more refined product. Alien and above all the completely misunderstood Alien 3 still remain my favourites.

And where do the Predators fit in ???? or do we forget about them ?
