When Ripley finds Dallas cocooned and he begs her to kill him.
Weird. Guess I've never seen the Director's Cut!

Why do people always get stupid about Avatar when they see great practical sets like the ones in Prometheus? Tell me, genius: which part of Avatar that wasn't shot practically would you have thought could be done practically.
what scene? spoiler it for the other poster's sake, obviously.
I am still hedging me bets (contrary to what has been communicated) that this is pretty much a direct prequel to Alien.
I'd go as far as to say my guess is that LV-426 and the space jockey and the ship are the same ones we see in Alien. I think the events in Prometheus are covered up by Weyland Corp which is why by time Alien hits (what 50 years later) nobody really knows what occurred. However, I think Weyland-Yutani does, hence the reason for Ash's orders to tranport/contain the specimen.

:52 It's the same ship, unless they have a fleet of these that all look the same
good trailer, and definitely will be a good film, but the trailer pretty much gives everything away, no?
1) crew member gets infected and turns into a hybrid
2) gets into space jockey exoskeleton at some point
3) starts up alien ship to destroy earth
4) Prometheus crew/Idris Elba(android?) rams alien ship, sacrificing self
5) alien hybrid attacks human crew, perhaps trying to take over the human ship or a shuttle to complete its mission to go to earth
6) the human crew obviously sacrifice themselves and stop it
i am genuinely hoping i am wrong.
also, it looks too clean, wish it looked darker and grittier.
I never can quite explain this correctly, but I will still try.
Firstly, I don't think Avatar could work with practical sets; I don't think it could have been done any better, the cgi was fantastic and I don't want to discredit it in any way.
What I mean is that Cameron had to wait for the technology to be more advanced before he could create Avatar, meaning his artistic vision was imagined in a cgi environment.
When you have an art direction that is possible with practical sets, it becomes more familiar, more believable to me, a world in which I can connect to more naturally and get more immersed in.
So, when I make the Avatar reference, it is more in relation to the art direction itself than whether practical sets or cgi are used (ie whether the art direction is dependent predominately on cgi or on practical sets).
I hope that clears that up because you seem a bit angry at my previous statement.
You are wrong. Definitely about who theis.android
Such an interesting shot.
I'm not gonna spoil anything, but there's a completely unnecessary scene near the end that throws off the pacing of the climax. It doesn't ruin the movie or anything, but the scene was rightly cut out of the theatrical version. If the DC is your only option, then don't really worry about. It's an incredible film either way.
that's how to restart a franchise
Joss Whedon
Ridley Scott
Chris Nolan

Dude he is nowhere close to the other two's level. His shitty writing is what killed the Alien franchise in the first place.
Oh please.
also, it looks too clean, wish it looked darker and grittier.
yeah kinda getting star wars prequel vibes on the visuals
but i guess thats inherent with prequels and newer, better technology
The Dark Knight Cowers
AMIRITE?

Saying that Whedon is close to Nolan is like saying Nolan is close to Scott.
Such an interesting shot.
Christopher Nolan hasn't even made an average movie. Every one of his has been awesome. Can't say the same for Ridley, too much fluctuation, inconsistency, etc. His highs are definitely some of my favorites from any director though.
Yeah I agree with you. Although, I would argue that Nolan still has room to grow though. Whedon has been crappy out the same level of bullshit for awhile now.
100% agreed.
That's a weird feeling for you isn't it. Us agreeing on something.

Alien Resurrection, Dollhouse, a lot of people dislike the Buffy stuff and in general dislike his writing style. Even Firefly and Serenity get a lot less love these days than back when they came out it seems.Does the Whedon hate stem from his TV work? Where does Whedon = shitty work originate from? I genuinely want to know.
