how do you know if your imax is liemax?

Liemax = digital, IMAX = 70mm.

[Bluemercury]

No early reviews yet?

[Ezalc]

It's linked in the OP.

Oh wow I didn't know that the pics were links, thanks!

[Berto]

Poor Italians =( I would go nuts if i had to wait until September.

[Mr Swine]

No early reviews yet?

I think that Ridley himself would chop someone's balls off if someone put up an early review of the movie :P

[F#A#Oo]

Will be watching it at the BFI IMAX in London.

Word

[brandonh83]

btw real cool OT banner you got there.

[Insane Metal]

June 15th >_> FUCK

But I'll see this thing on IMAX.

First time I'll see a movie on IMAX BTW.

[timetokill]

Just picked up my 3D IMAX tickets for a midnight showing. Totally psyched!

[3N16MA]

Can't wait. I mean C A N' T W A I T.

[sfedai0]

Gonna have to watch this on a weekday to avoid the masses.

[3N16MA]

Nice OT Sculli but I thought Mr. Sam was doing the OT.

[ElTopo]

Wait, the German release is two months after the original release ? You've got to be kidding me.

[Sickboy007]

14th September? What the fuuuuuuuuuck

Fuck the italian movie industry and its outdated thinking about people not going to the movies during summer.

[Tom_Cody]

in the last 4 years WW market has exploded to a point where soon Hollywood will put all their resources into the INTL market. this is just the beginning

I don't understand what point you are making. Do you see "the INTL market" as being distinct and separate from the US market? The US is by far the biggest single market and it will continue to be into the foreseeable future.

[br0ken_shad0w]

So what's the ideal setup to watch this movie? IMAX or IMAX + 3D? This is my most hyped movie this year and I want my experience to be perfect.

And man, it's going to be a hard sell to get my friends to watch this with me. The trailers don't really show anything and most of their exposure to the Alien franchise comes from AVP. :barf:

[Navidson REC]

9th August: Germany, Switzerland

This is such a crime.

[Dax01]

I haven't been this excited for a movie a long while. Let's do this.

[duckroll]

Why does Switzerland have 3 release dates?

Why hasn't anyone answered this question? It's so weird!

[Sickboy007]

Why hasn't anyone answered this question? It's so weird!

3 languages, 3 releases (French, German, Italian)

[Funky Papa]

There is nothing weird about that. Switzerland is divided in French, German and Italian speaking cantons.

I wonder if movies are also dubed in Romansh, eh.

[jossueinacoma]

3 languages, 3 releases (French, German, Italian)

beat me to it

[duckroll]

Oh okay, that's interesting. I learn something new every day!

[Forkball]

It could be fun, but I feel I can piece the entire story together from the trailers. Honestly I could probably accurately predict what will happen from beginning to end.

[3N16MA]

Why hasn't anyone answered this question? It's so weird!

IMDb always explains reasons for different release dates.

I'm deff interested in this question as well. Not too educated on the different movie formats.

[Sickboy007]

I'm temped to go to France to watch this babe. If only my French wasn't so sucky.

[mantidor]

Watched an interview yesterday where Damion Lindenloff basically said that the 3 minute trailer gives away too much.

really? :( I was hoping it was being misleading. But I'm sure we can still count on surprises right? to be honest the 3 minute trailer doesn't give away much more than the original teaser trailer if you pay close attention to both, they are showing pretty much the same thing, the latest one only extends the shots.

[drspeedy]

Damn this movie looks great, and betting it's gonna be stunning in 3D... previews keep reminding me of Metroid or Dead Space set in the Aliens universe, which is a movie I've been waiting for... not based on the games (game movies = guaranteed suck factor of 10) but carrying the same kind of dark vibe.

please deliver!

[Mr Swine]

There is one trailer that seems to have been taken down that shows one thing to much :/

[Wilbur]

Looks incredible, probably the most hyped I've been for a film since Inglourious Basterds. For faith it'll be as good as Alien.

[Ace 8095]

I just got the Alien blu-ray and it has both the directors cut and the theatrical cut available. Which should I watch for my first viewing?

[Wilbur]

Theatrical

[strafer]

Aliens DC. The superior one.

[SalsaShark]

[Talon]

Holy shit balls - I thought this was later in June. Can't believe this is just 10 days away!

[Dan]

Yay, an OT where you won't be able to search thread titles and find it. Lovely.

Only half kidding.

[Amalthea]

This is such a crime.

It opens this month in the french part already! :D

[rhfb]

Bought my ticket for the Thursday midnight IMAX 3D showing. Should be fun, just kinda wonder what the line situation will be like. My brother went to the Avengers midnight showing and showed up at 9:30 and ended up about 3/4 the way back in the line... I know there is some hype around this movie, but I'm hoping it isn't that bad.

[Anton Sugar]

Austinites: Prometheus midnight showings are now available to purchase for the Alamo Drafthouse.

[planar1280]

Any way I can get an earlier screening for this in Philly/Baltimore region?

[Suairyu]

This is the thread where Sculli and I do duel over Scott being superior to Cameron. This is the thread where Sculli falls.

[shira]

Nice OT Sculli but I thought Mr. Sam was doing the OT.

Maybe he tried searching for "prometheus"
O h w a i t . . .

Prometheus by Mr. Sam (22nd March 2012)

Wow he called it in march. Pm him I guess

[Dax01]

This is the thread where Sculli and I do duel over Scott being superior to Cameron. This is the thread where Sculli falls.

Suairyu, you have my bow on this. Scott > Cameron.

[ViewtifulJC]

This is the thread where Sculli and I do duel over Scott being superior to Cameron. This is the thread where Sculli falls.

I'm trying to see how these two are similar:

1. Both made Alien movies
2. Haven't made a good film in a decade
3. 3D WOOT

[Lucius86]

Will be watching it at the BFI IMAX in London.

[Suairyu]

2. Haven't made a good film in a decade

Somebody didn't watch Kingdom Of Heaven Director's Cut. Somebody should go hang their head in shame.

edit - but seriously, Prometheus is "do or die" for me in regards to 3D. If Scott cannot convince me that it can add substantial gain and difference to a film, no-one can. I don't mind 3D at all, I'm no hater, but I've yet to see a film where the addition felt like an undeniably good thing.

[shintoki]

This is the thread where Sculli and I do duel over Scott being superior to Cameron. This is the thread where Sculli falls.

There was never any doubt. Only a fool's argument!

Target has the Alien BluRays on sale this week too. Don't know if they include Movie Cash like the Best Buys.

[Dax01]

Meet me outside!

2. Haven't made a good film in a decade

(you know, the other cut)






Cameron is shit
