I haven't really felt such a sensation since the remake of The Fly. So, hopefully?

Black Swan gave me the same feeling as The Fly.

[Dave_6]

Infuckingcredible!

[strafer]

[Fourman]

Chills all over my body after watching that.

[brianjones]

noomi rapace <3

i'm mixed on the look of this film.. it looks great but at times kind of videogame ish .. mass effect??

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

The music from the teaser and the theatrical trailer.

[NG28]

Such a small crew for that massive spaceship...

[PowderedToast]

hmhmhm eye wrinkles..but still hot

[Danielsan]

I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't get the hype for this thing. It looks like a well put together summer blockbuster, but I don't see what all the hullabaloo is about aside from the fact that it's Ridley Scott trying to recapture his Alien days.

[krypt0nian]

The Master has returned.

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

"I'm going to count to three. And I'm going to move that coin..."

That was the best trailer I've seen in years. Goddamn it Ridley Scott should have returned to sci-fi a decade ago.

[Salvadora]

This looks brilliant.

First of all, Ridley Scott returning to sci-fi should be enough to get excited. :P

Secondly, look at the visuals and the sheer scope of the thing. Those aspects come through strongly in the trailer.

And Idris Elba is terrified.

[Randdalf]

I'm not too keen on creepy/scary films but nonetheless this trailer makes me want to see it.

[MyEpitomeCliché]

Black Swan gave me the same feeling as The Fly.

I can believe it. Love that film, but there was really only one scene for me that invoked the skin crawl.

[strafer]

[nomis]

fffffuuuuuu dat lighting

Infinite scope

Infinite budget

Is what this trailer looks like.

[Replicant]

Looks awesome. Really think the plot is as the title implies: Aliens left "beacons" throughout the galaxy, so that if humans stumbled on them, it would send something to Earth to attack humans and bring them back to a primitive state, and this would happen again and again forever. Basically, some sort of weapon that prevents intelligent species from becoming too advanced, without having to keep tabs on them 24/7. This fits with the Prometheus myth, who gave the forbidden fire to mankind and was punished by being tied to a mountain where a bird (logo seen in the trailer, and original alien concept had wings) would forever eat his self-regenerating liver (symbolizing life forms constantly being reduced back to primitive forms when they "heal").

WTF? That sounds like the plot of Mass Defect.

[whalleywhat]

Alright, Ridley. Alright.

[Spike Spiegel]

I do feel that they revealed way too many plot points though

This was my first thought as well (well, second after "holy f*ck this is AMAZING"); it's a trailer that gives away too much if you're paying attention at all. And since this looks to be shoe-in for "Movie of the Year" you are definitely paying attention.

I think I'm going dark after this one. See you guys in the theater! :D

[(._.)]

Looks like a fun movie. So I read some stuff. This is like a sequel to Alien? wtf

[whalleywhat]

It's called the second act.

[cdyhybrid]

Movie of the forever.

[strafer]

Love the scenery.

[Sheppard]

More like Ridley Scott shows Cameron how to do sci-fi.

late on this quote but this is true.




Also, holy mother of god on this trailer.

[Zeliard]

It's not a sequel, but they're clearly related. Ridley Scott keeps trying to pretend they barely have anything in common but nobody is buying that.

Post #57 in this thread also features a hilariously conspicuous capture from the trailer.

[Gila]

I fucking love you Ridley

[shadyspace]

Wait, there were titties in this thread? Did I miss titties in the trailer?

[artist]

More like Ridley Scott shows Cameron how to do sci-fi.

I'm probably never going to see any zinger bigger than this.

[JB1981]

Hope there is more to it but it appears the general plot outline is very similar to original Alien

[Forkball]

You know, this is almost certainly the story. I can't think of any alternatives.

Also:

[Zeppelin]

I get none of the same vibes I get from Alien. Nice art direction though.

[shira]

I hope it is more complicated than Contact.

[lethial]

It's a very sharp looking movie. Can't wait.

[adamsappel]

Holy. Fucking. Shit.

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

I've got to wonder if this can break the R-rated opening weekend that's been held by Matrix Reloaded for nearly a decade (this will be R-rated, right?). That trailer blew my balls off, and having IMAX 3D is going up the gross a huge amount.

[strafer]

Scary looking.

PG 13

[Kak.efes]

Love the scenery.

There's a distinct lack of unevenly aligned christmas lights on this ship.

[Dead]

I'm probably never going to see any zinger bigger than this.

I highly doubt this film would be made as it is, if at all, if it weren't for Cameron's previous film and his return to filmmaking. It takes one of the juggernauts of the genre to inspire another to return, thats all there is to it.

[∀ Narayan]

Made it slower!

Looks like a chestburster to me. Notice how it's being held by a mechanical arm.

[wetwired]

so does that mean they're on the same planet as alien?

[georgc]

Are there any links for the 1080 P version of this video I can use to watch on my iPad.

[rififi]

Can't believe I still have to wait until June.

One thing I love about Ridley Scott is that he would rather film the actual thing than rely completely on CGI:

I’m a great believer in filming the real thing if you can and so I did a lot of building the real thing.

which I always found has much better results (Avatar always seemed a little off to me despite the impressive tech):

The art direction especially, the score, the cast, the director- all of that is why people should be excited (unless you don't like sci-fi, then I can't help you).

[Dany M]

Oh, Noomie Rapace is the star of film, cool.

[Suairyu]

so does that mean they're on the same planet as alien?

Atmosphere/weather is all wrong for that.

[BlazingDarkness]

Doesn't really feel like an Alien film, but it does look good

[Tedesco!]

Because it's not?
