I can already predict at least part of the climax... - oscar 11:17:55 06/08/12 (0)
...based on the original "Alien" movie and setting. Hopefully, all the stuff before that is interesting.
Scott said "the Alien Creature" is no longer scary . . . . - mr grits 13:02:43 06/07/12 (3)
He felt he had to work around it in some ways.

  In any horror movie it's the audio cues more than anything visual that create suspense and fear. That's certainly true of Alien. Hopefully Scott hasn't forgotten how he used sounds, voices and silence to generate fear. Heck, when I saw Alien back in the 70s with my old man, he jumped about 10 feet in the air after the camera came to rest on a computer that suddenly erupts in mechanical noise at the beginning of the film. Hopefully Prometheus is equally masterful in sound design.

  ..."scary" payoff with the reasons behind events becoming the new scare factor.
  I count lingering chills a greater payoff than shock. Must be getting old...
  I'm not so sure the "Alien creature" was ever that scary - more so the element of what it was capable of was what got my adrenalin going...
  Then again, Ian Holm's artificial person (Ash) was the real corker in my book.
  3 hours till show time here!

Bought my Prometheus Midnight Thursday opening ticket last Monday... - mpathus 23:08:26 06/06/12 (0)
...Imax 3D was 1/2 sold out by then - NO word in the papers, must be mostly in the know or by mouth.
Last cinema presentation I saw at the same facility was "Avatar" ... all CGI tech, no heart (sorry I just don't sob at "cartoons").
Having an indelible impression of seeing "Alien" in Colorado/1979, I'm really stoked.
Ridley is a world builder in film - a creator, so if the atmosphere lives up to his design I'll be awash in space drama. Plot is for Shakespeare.
Ridley don't fail me now...

- Apparently the production quality is quite high - Mike K 22:24:18 06/06/12 (1)
  and the acting is good. It's just the story and the script which are a
  bit weak. We shall see.
