can any one explain the Mohawk guy being all zombie like? i mean the rest made sense but that really confused me

Watched it, thought it was awesome. My imagination is racing. If your expecting a whole load of answers and your hand to be held like a baby, you'll be disappointed.

I felt like the trailers spoiled everything for me, and I was hoping this wasn't the case.

C/D?

I wasn't aware Scott had only made two films.

He's referencing Blade Runner and Alien here, which supposedly tie into the same fictional universe.

bladerunner is the same as total recall universe (or can be the same, at any rate). It's not the same uni as alien AFAIK.


anyway just got back from watching it... awesome film, but a bit confusing here and there. Would recommend.

Do androids dream of electric sheep and we'll remember it for you wholesale, both my Philip k dick so it's plausible.


On a side note Ridley Scott is from the town I am ( south shields represent ) !

story took a different turn than what I was expecting.

[cullnean]

word, there will be more i hope, more question then answers

  Spoiler:

waterfall at the start, im guess he was the reason it went tits up for them on lv223 in the first place? a human sympathizer if you will

also worries about the trailer spoiling it, nope no way

  Spoiler:

im guessing the black stuff is raging sex fiend juice, Holloway saw this coming and reacted accordingly, too late but accordingly

would've done horrible horrible horrible things to blonde chick till i evolved into a vag-hugger

  Spoiler:

also face hugger that could nail a whale(imagine thAt!) why are they suddenly
small? Then again the xenomorps appear adaptive to the host but still, but it came from a human, colour me confused actually

I expect swirls with answers, also I think alien and blade runner do share the same universe but it's further in the future I think andriods/repliccants being more wide spread etc

Edit- the time lines don't match In any way so heavy retconning of bladerunner ould be needed as blade runner happens befoe prometheus

[IceBlock]

  Spoiler:

The timeline in general does not match AvP universe nor the "original" year in the Alien film, which is 2087 revealed in the original script. So one have to totally exclude AvP universe at least. The alien we see in Prometheus at the end is the direct result of a squid vagina that came from Dr. Shaws abdominal. So how do these aliens survive and somehow travel from LV-223 to LV-426?

  Spoiler:

also it's on different planets so it seems the engineers were creating different weapons for different races? the mural hinted at the xenomorphs we know and love, well that and the end

  Spoiler:

The alien creature is a direct result of Dr. Shaws squid vagina. Meaning that the black liquid itself is the "weapon" not whatever genetic mutation that comes out of it. When we also consider the start of the movie where the space jockey kills himself by consuming the black liquid and at the same time starts life on Earth, it is not the black liquid that creates aliens. It seem as if it was just a lucky mutation ..

different MOON, same planet and solar system as far as I can tell.

  Spoiler:

I think it's safe to say that prometheus wouldnt be the last ship to vist lv223, I'd imaging weyland Corp would be keen to find out what happend to their CEO and his daughter, and the xenomorphs were in the mural so I do think they already existed

Good point, could be mate.

All in all I enjoyed it, zero hand holding and afew minor plot holes, possibly left for future explanation? Mind you I dislike big exposition speeches that assume I'm stupid anyhow

If your looking for this to be a horror film in the same way Alien was, you will also be disappointed.

  Spoiler:

Anyone got the notion that we've only seen the very tip of the iceberg from this universe? Kinda like the very first episode of Lost. I wouldn't be surprised if this was suppost to be a new 3 parter from the start forking off from the originals with the focus on doctor shaw or those following in her footsteps.

[cullnean]

@pattern

I said that to the wife as we left.

Also AvP is non cannon as far as riddley is concerned he said so in a recent empire interview.

  Spoiler:

at the end shaw says she wants to goto the engineers home that could be the world from alien tbh

  Spoiler:

the only sign on lv426 is one crashed engineer ship with one lone pilot so I dont think so, I believe the theory was that they were transporting xenomorphs got over ran and crashed, up in the air now I know but there is 30 odd years between the 2 movies

Spoiler tag central

MUST. NOT. CLICK.

Saw it yesterday. Very good show. Holds your attention all the way through. I don't see how anyone can claim that it went to shit. Definitely agree with the comments on the lack of hand holding and treating the audience like idiots. My only complaint is about the guy who played Holloway (Shaws husband). He just doesn't fit the part for me, seemed like too much of an angsty kid / eye candy type to be married to Shaw.

edit: dammit Ridley why you make Idris do a silly accent???
