Movie was solid IMO. Not on Alien level, but still a fun watch. I'll grab the BluRay.
Avatar...while not great..craps all over this.
Protip: comments like this only makes you look foolish and not worth being taken seriously.
They are at least on the same level, c'mon.
I just saw it here in theaters in China.
They cut out most of the violence (several sections where the violence was beginning suddenly cut to when it had finished, it was really obvious and annoying) but the 3D was incredible and I appreciated it as an Alien movie even if it wasn't particularly the best film ever.
Also Fassbender was awesome.

Very quick snippet of the deleted scene with The Engineer talking with David

The fuck? The only thing that was better was the presence of Fassbender. Avatar shits all over Prometheus.
wtf is fassbender saying? he might as well be speaking alien.

Jurassic Park 3 is a mess and barely entertaining, almost like a high budget SyFy script got mistaken and shot as a JP movie. Avatar is a well made film with convincing characters, a solid plot and fantastic visual design. I can't say I agree with that, at all.
Yeah didn't give a shit to any of the characters because the character development sucked, there wasn't any development. It was like watching a bad b-horror film, characters going full retard for the sake of seeing the body count going up.

This whole thing made me realize how bad the movie really was, and I'm a huge Alien fan.
THE ENGINEERs chest bursts open and a cheap KNOCKOFF XENOMORPH ALIEN slides out...
Cracked me up.
Already have it loading on my AppleTV.
So David told the engineer that this here Weyland person wants to live forever? If so, that is fucking perfect considering what happens next
Wow the engineer Sounds way better than I imagined! Sweet
Yup, that's a great voice. Looking forward to the full scene.
Damn you for posting this. Now I want to watch it again with the delete scenes.

Yeah he was.
Just read this. That was great...
and true
Neat to hear his voice but we still don't know what he is saying to Weyland. I was hoping it would be subtitled.

is that 4-disc Blu-Ray only for EU or something?
I can only find the standard blu-ray on Amazon. :/

I think David tells Weyland what he says after the video cuts off. I could be wrong..just a wild guess.

Though the film was only OK, I'm stoked to rewatch it on Blu-ray. Such a pretty movie.

One 3D Blu-ray, one 2D Blu-ray, a 3rd Blu-ray for extras and one DVD copy.
lol sigh
it's so ridiculous how this new trend of putting every single thing on a separate disc is used for marketting. MORE IS BETTER. IT HAS MORE DISCS
...except most of them are useless. or just contain digital copies
The dates are correct. The movie is available early for digital release only.

Did you watch the movie as an Alien prequel? Oh. Oh.
The film was amazing at visual and cinematography but failed at the writing. The premise for a great story was there. But at the end I am looking forward to Prometheus 2. And just to see how Scott will show us
the Engineer homeworld
So it really is only 15 minutes of deleted scenes. That is lame. I've already seen the 10 mins that leaked from the DVD. I guess all that remains is the Engineer speaks and the longer confrontation between Shaw and the Engineer. It appears the alternate opening with the Engineer "elders" will not be shown and neither will something entitled 'Paradise' which was rumored to be on the blu-ray earlier and was said to have a runtime of 5 mins. Early reports said the blu-ray had 35 minutes of deleted footage.
I guess they are saving this stuff for another release or maybe it was just bunk.

So basically:
The movie was shit but it looked pretty and it could've been good because the original idea was good.
I want a sequel.
Keep that up hyper
And watching the movie as a prequel or not, that scene was cheesy as hell.
No, its 35 minutes of deleted scenes. Its 100% confirmed. That collider info is outdated/inaccurate.
Talk about lowering your standards to make a movie look good.
Wait a second, did this practice just start?

As far as I can tell, yes, although it's not a practice (yet.)

Damnit... so will this stuff be on the standard US blu-ray release that comes out 10/11?
US Amazon only has that and the 3D version, which is about $5 more, but nothing mentions 4 discs!

It's a practice in America, at least. UK iTunes is making me wait until October 8th...
I downloaded the movie from iTunes. The only extras I care about are commentary and deleted scenes, both of which are included but only available to view via the computer. I'm glad I spent the $14.99 rather than anything more considering there will probably be a different version down the line.

Actually, only a few deleted scenes are available on the Itunes version.
The blu-ray version states 15 minutes of deleted scenes, and I believe that was the same amount offered on iTunes.
It is everything we've already seen, plus an extended scene between Elizabeth and the Engineer

David is my favorite android creation from Ridley Scott, i rank this above Blade Runner.
Just for clarification - is this an actual extended release or just all the deleted scenes dumped in the special features.
I don't think this is the case. The blu-ray has only 15 min of deleted scenes. I hope you're right
And no, there is not an extended version of the movie
Dead- I just did some google searching and it looks like 20th Century Fox forced the BBFC and other websites to remove the deletes scene info. Maybe Fox pulled some of them last minute. What was of particular interest to me were the deleted scenes titled:
00:02:31:16 (ARRIVAL OF THE ENGINEERS) (DELETED SCENE)
00:03:27:07 (JANEK FILLS VICKERS IN) (DELETED SCENE)
00:03:40:12 (A KING HAS HIS REIGN) (DELETED SCENE)
00:02:01:24 (FITFIELD ATTACKS) (DELETED SCENE)
00:04:06:06 (THE ENGINEER SPEAKS) (DELETED SCENE)
00:05:30:04 (FINAL BATTLE) (DELETED SCENE)
00:05:05:19 (PARADISE) (DELETED SCENE)
