Just watched the movie.

Disappointing to say the least. I don't know if it's the popular opinion around here but I prefer the first half vastly over the second, gave me some real Alien vibes and Fassbender as David was terrific. Some shots were genius, especially one with David roaming the ship, showing what kind of desolation he was exposed to for >2yrs. Made me even more uncomfortable watching him on screen. Standout performance or me.

After the two scientists found the tentacle everything fell apart and if it weren't for the actors and visuals I'd mistake them for two different movies. The zombie scene gotta be one of the most useless scenes in recent memory. It had zero effect on anything. Ending was another level of terrible.

I'd still need time to collect my thoughts and write them down, maybe even a second viewing, but I'm not sure anybody cares so...

Yeah David MADE this movie.

I'd pay good money to see a David spin-off title he is such a great character even if not human, heh.

I did not give 2 shits about Shaw or her husband - David was 100 times more interesting to me.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

Just watched it. It's totally weird. First half was awesome, second half was "WTF?".

 

[Tom_Cody]

High five. Prometheus is my favourite movie so far this year as well.

Same with me.

 

[Gui_PT]

You people need to watch more movies

 

[Man]

Found these amusing: http://myboyfriendisanengineer.tumblr.com/

Tonal change, hello.

 

[Wind's Howling]

That cover does not even remotely say anything about the Alien universe. If you told me it was a prequel of I Robot I would have believed you.

 

[DieH@rd]

Movie will remain broken no matter what cover they put on.

Yesh yesh! But fuck the cover give me the dammed disc.

 

[Mr. Sam]

Mm, the movie fell out of this year's top ten for me recently. I've only seen a couple of dozen new movies this year.

 

[Tom_Cody]

Gorgeous.

 

[Slurmer]

Is the release confirmed for 10/11/12?

 

[Blader]

Is the release confirmed for 10/11/12?

10/9

The 11th is a Thursday anyway.

 

[Man]

This and TDKR are still the two most enjoyable films of 2012 for me. And both are full of holes and can be dissected apart.

 

[Hypertrooper]

Is that the cover?

 

[Mr Swine]

Oh wow that cover looks fantastic! Reminds me of the alien covers...

 

[MNC]

Beautiful cover. Still makes me want to watch the movie again. It's because everything is so stupidly mysterious...

Bwahahaha this one is golden!

 

[msv]

i was under the impression that the aliens created just humans, not all life on earth. did i interpret this incorrectly?

Well, a human baby can't really grow in a river. Maybe if it was a specially designed proto-baby that could grow outside a womb - but it that wasn't the case, the DNA was broken up and recombinated, seemingly random.

 

[zoukka]

Blargh! That cover looks like ass.

 

[Double D]

What's the status on this BluRay? Is there a director's (or some sort of extended) cut? I just feel like I've seen a lot of promotional/trailer footage that I didn't see in the actual movie.

there are 35 minutes of deleted scenes but no directors cut. that will come out later.

 

[Discotheque]

Blargh! That cover looks like ass.

the film was ass. I'm amazed that the best films this year are still 2 foreign action flicks.

they're taking our damn jobs.

 

[Sub_Level]

That cover is pretty bad. It doesn't even use the same font as the Prometheus trailer. I still think either of these were the best covers in the series.

 

[Jimothy]

WTF IS DIS REAL

 

[andycapps]

I like.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Not a fan.

 

[lilbaby Jesus]

I think,somehow that cover confirms my suspicions of the engineers we see in the movie being generated or created by something else. Subliminal message to the 2nd movie maybe?

 

[alphaNoid]

Crap movie with a rad cover ... it'll sell like hot cakes

 

[1138]

Outstanding cover. Too bad that the EU release probably will be different.

 

[RoboPlato]

I like this a lot. Looks really distinctive from the other movies in my collection.

 

[StriKeVillain]

I really like that cover. I know I'm going to wind up buying it just for the sound and picture quality. :/

 

[Hesemonni]

So, did Tony over react to the cover or what?

 

[big ander]

I like it.

So, did Tony over react to the cover or what?

Awesome dude!!!

 

[strafer]

So, did Tony over react to the cover or what?

Get out.

 

[Marleyman]

[The Bookerman]

Class Act

 

[oatmeal]

Cover looks cool.

So it's confirmed that the 35 extra minutes are NOT cut in?

God-fucking-damnit.

 

[Nappuccino]

That cover looks amazing...

But I won't buy until there is a directors cut.

Sorry Ridley.

 

[Dead]

Im gonna go ahead and guess that there will never be an extended cut

There are so many special features on the release that it doesn't seem like anything is being held back for a 2nd release

 

[mattp]

Cover looks cool.

So it's confirmed that the 35 extra minutes are NOT cut in?

God-fucking-damnit.

yeah this just screams cash-in
in 6 months they'll be selling the "extended edition" with stuff cut into the movie

 

[jett]

That cover makes me think that they should've erased all mention of the Alien universe in the movie.

 

[Marleyman]

That cover makes me think that they should've erased all mention of the Alien universe in the movie.

Why though? It has something to do with it.

 

[TRios Zen]

That cover makes me think that they should've erased all mention of the Alien universe in the movie.

I think I would've appreciated this movie much more if it wasn't associated with the Alien universe.

As it is, no Blu-Ray till director's cut for me - in the hope that the DC makes SOME sense out of the cinematic diarrhea that the last 45 minutes or so was.

 

[NumberTwo]

Yeah, just canceled my amazon order. Double dips are so sleezy.

 

[big ander]

That cover makes me think that they should've erased all mention of the Alien universe in the movie.

The movie made me think that. Take out the very last scene and tweak some stuff and it's simply a film in the same universe.

 

[base shagohod]

Hahah it's so bad but I can't stop looking at it

 

[- J - D -]

Don't want to watch if it's not the extended edition.

 

[Fudgepuppy]

But didn't they say there would be a DC on release?

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

I like it, mostly, but why did they change the font?
