It's not even out yet and you're talking like a boss about it...

Re: Official Alien Prequel/Prometheus Discussion Thread

Gorman was incapable of doing anything that required thinking outside of the SOP manual. Xenomorph is just a generic term for an intelligent terrestrial life form. The Marines were a specialized unit that was trained to deal with hostile alien life forms. The Bug Stompers squadron log on the side of their dropship insinuated they were a unit that was trained for combat against hostile terrestrial life forms. They acted like they didn't care about another encounter, like it wasn't the first case of Marines going into combat against other alien life forms before. It was more of a 'been there and done that' attitude and one more 'hostile bug' to deal with wouldn't be anything special. To me that's not the attitude of scared soldiers that might be potentially dealing with something as vicious as Ripley described. It's hardly the reaction you'd expect from people that hadn't encountered hostile alien life forms before.

So it's not unreasonable to assume that Colonial Marines had had run-ins with some pretty mean life forms before, and weren't particularly phased by the unique features of this new "Xenomporph" species Ripley described. Even though it was unique, It was still just another dangerous alien that needed to be dealt with, and that comes with the job.

Back to Prometheus.

Correct...

SPOILERS on official leaked Trailer & Link:

Spoiler

For those who can't wait for the iTunes Version, here the leak on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/34025136 - no idea if it works in your IP range.

You can clearly see the connection to Alien...it will be awesome.

I wonder if H.R. Giger was in any way involved in this movie - probably not since he sold all the rights....

Agreed on all points, but one: I wouldn't say Ridley returning is a shame, since I doubt anyone will ever count Prometheus as an official part of the Alien series. While it's obviously a prequel, the chances of seeing a pentology box set 10 years from now are slim. Then again, it is Fox we're talking about...

As far as I'm concerned this prequel counts more than the sequels. This is the house Ridley built.

After watching the trailer again, I've come to think that what is happening to Noomi Rapace's character, you know, were she appears to be on an operating table.. I think she is being experimented on, by whom, I do not know yet? Could be the Jockey's. Could even be the crew doing something to her. She may have been exposed or infected and they are foing something to her.

Re: Official Alien Prequel/Prometheus Discussion Thread

Okay, I just saw the trailer in HD, and you can clearly see a humanoid engineer standing off to the side in the Spacejockey room. He appears to be raising his arm as the spacejockey rises out of the floor. He appears to be manipulating/controlling it. He looks very human but bigger and grey, as well as naked. I'm starting to wonder if he actually ever goes inside the suit, or if the "suits" are just controlled by him?

Re: Official Alien Prequel/Prometheus Discussion Thread

And that big face in the ampule room is the engineer's face.

I think what happens is the explorers get to the planet and they find some sort of temple, this is where they find the giant face of a godlike being that looks like them. Then as they are exploring, they either awaken, or by some freak chance the God/Gods show up in their ship. What I am a little confused by is how and why the engineers ship blows up upon entering the atmosphere? And if it blows up, there is clearly another Derelict ship that lands?

Re: Official Alien Prequel/Prometheus Discussion Thread

That would have to be a very tall human...

Human Space Jockeys?

Re: Official Alien Prequel/Prometheus Discussion Thread

Where did you see it in HD?

 

[Kamandi]

Re: Official Alien Prequel/Prometheus Discussion Thread

You can see the human in the "UFO" video that everyone is linking to. He's to the far right as the Jockey rises from the floor

Re: Official Alien Prequel/Prometheus Discussion Thread

just saw it. It's still really hard to see what's going on in a lot of the trailer since they flash the scenes really quickly. The only thing I could see worth mentioning is something was in one of the explorers suits, and the SJ gun/telescope rising up. Just seeing that trailer, I don't know how anyone could say Aliens will defn be in the film unless theres something I missed.

Amazing, amazing trailer. I want to see this now!
Leaves TDKR and Hobbit in the dust.

... I don't know how anyone could say Aliens will defn be in the film unless theres something I missed.

This trailers is full of empty spaces waiting to be filled.

Unless we start seeing those Space Jockeys running around kicking ass then something else is the Big Bad. There's a basement full of Alien eggs on that ship.

Just sayin.

I know, but some ppl are saying Aliens will defn be in this, but I have no idea what makes them think that. Btw-what you think are eggs, are those metal canisters we've seen in screenshots. Those will more then likely turn into eggs by the end of the movie, but it doesn't mean we will see Aliens. Like you said, there's a lot to be filed in, we still don't know anything more then what we knew before the trailer.
