    Wow. Ridley Scott revisits Alien sort of and with a better cast than you'd be hard put to find anywhere.
    The movie looks visually spectacular in the best Ridley Scott sort of way .
    Fassbender gets the android role this time .Wonder if he will be good or evil?

    Respect my lack of authority.

    The imagery is very similar to the original Alien movie, i.e. the layout of the ship, even the 'space jockey' from the end of the clip. The original was a superb movie and could have been a great franchise if the brandywine production team hadn't involved themselves so much in the sequels to the point of killing them.
    Hopefully this will be a great reimagining of the original.

    So the first "engineer" sacrifices himself to make life on earth. (maybe)
    Then when earth has evolved they aim to re-evolve it?
    I do not get it, too many plot holes.
    Please explain.

    Explanation :Scripted in part by Damon Lindelof the executive producer/erstwhile writer of Lost.
    Given that I'm personally thankful that it wasn't more nebulous and filled with plot holes than it was.

    Saw this @ the midnite showing on Thurs and it was ok. The Engineer's were a huge muscular humanoid race. I was kinda let down that there wasn't enough environmental shots. The movie does tie in some of the things u have questions for for the '79 classic. Worth a rent on a sunday when there's nothing much else to do. I preferred the prequel to The Thing more.

    They never explain this. Even in the movie the actors scream... WTF?!!! No one answers.

    I searched but only found a worm.

    Bravo. Cells merged.

    I could have gone more with ambigious science, 2001 style, rather than the outcome.

    If they're already merged, how could I discuss this in another Prometheus thread? And if you want to correct my error with something about making a new one, obviously anyone blindly creating yet another Prometheus thread wouldn't have read this one or seen your message.

    So in short, I don't get it.
