Well now that they've released about 6 minutes total of footage in trailers and TV spots, I feel like I've seen the whole movie. Yet I will still pay to go see it probably about 3 times.

Ridley Scott you evil genius motherfucker!

WTF? I'm surpriesd i'm the first to notice that in the trailers of this film there are a lot of sounds and musics that are very but very similar to the StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm Preview Trailer.

StarCraft II HOTS:

Prometheus trailer:
(go to 1:09)

In particular go to the end of both video = same sound

1. You're not the first.
2. There's special kind of music for trailers (even bands specializing in composing trailer music) and that's why they often get repeated. This particular piece by Audiomachine is really cool and fitting though and it's being used in quite a few of the recent trailers.

You can check it out here: http://www.audiomachine.com/

The movie has been viewed early by French critics and the reception has been mixed. On average, a lot of critics praise the 3D and visuals (no surprise), but are disappointed by the lack of connection between Prometheus and Alien.

Taken from AvPGalaxy's forum

17 out of 21 reviews are overall positive - 81% positive score with a 6.6 average rating. Rating was calculated on a base-20 rule along with unrated reviews (positive considered as a 20, mixed negative an 8, mixed positive a 12, and negative a 0).

"Prometheus n'est pas seulement dense par son univers mais aussi par les thèmes qu'il aborde."
Prometheus is not only by its dense universe but also by its themes.

"très très bonne et utile à la narration. La 3D gonfle le spectaculaire et garanti paradoxalement plus d'immersion (Dolby 3D)"
very very good and helpful to narration. The 3D increases the spectacular and paradoxically guaranteed more immersion (Dolby 3D)

"Si parmi toutes les nombreuses questions posées par #Prometheus une seule devait être retenue, ce serait : Pourquoi ?"
If among all the many questions raised by Prometheus one should be retained, it would be: Why?

"Prometheus est imparfait car il a vécu trop longtemps dans l'ombre d'Alien, l'empêchant d'être totalement inédit. Mais il fera date !"
Prometheus is flawed because he lived too long in the shadow of Alien, preventing it from being totally original. But landmark!


"J'ai trouvé ça très bien. Imparfait, mais très bien."
I found it very good. Imperfect, but very well.

It's out in Belgium and I went to see it tonight. Ask away if you have any questions - I'll reply with spoiler tags. Overall I thought the movie was good, but with a few flaws. I saw it in 3D and it was definitely worth it, very good use of 3D and great visuals.

1. Regarding the 3D, is it really that great? I'm "meh" when it comes to 3D and the only good 3D movie I've seen was Avatar. Was Prometheus better than Avatar in the 3D department?

2. Is it true that Prometheus was more amazing in visuals than story telling? A lot of people say that it is practically a rehash of Alien and is not really original compared to what Ridley Scott and the cast say it is.

3. Any easter egg or references from past movies (minus Weyland and what we know)?

4. Is the movie gory?

5. Is the movie scary? Tense? Eerie? Disturbing?

waitwaitwait, this is actually an Alien prequel film? I thought it was completely standalone and had nothing to do with the Alien universe. Huh. Reading the comments, it should be seen as standalone in general, but the fact that it's in the same universe surprised me. Probably shouldn't have (same director, for one), but ehh I would have preferred to know that it's an individual story that has nothing to do with the Aliens franchise.

No, this is not a prequel and it is in the same universe.

Okay, that's fine, I guess. Boo at title ;P

Hm...now that I think of it, I actually do enjoy the universe, nothing really wrong with it or anything. I was just sort of surprised.

Using a spoiler tag just in case, even though the questions are not really spoiler-ish and you will find no spoiler regarding the scenario in my comments. If you want me to go into more detail regarding the scenario, don't hesitate to ask.

+ Show Spoiler +
1. I personally enjoyed the 3D very much - it was one of the very rare occasions I felt it was extremely well used and fitted the movie perfectly. I can't compare it to Avatar since I did not see Avatar in 3D, but I strongly advise anyone interested in seeing Prometheus of seeing it in 3D, it was quite spectacular :-)

2. The visuals were indeed quite spectacular, and I have mixed feelings about the story - but it was possibly me expecting too much. I basically left the theater with a kind of "empty" feeling in that regards - I kind of wanted to know more about some of the elements that appear in the movie. There are, of course, some elements from the script that are similar to what went on in Alien, but the focus of the film is still very different.

3. I have to say that none come to mind, but it's probable I missed some. There's a particular element in the script that can be directly compared to something that happened in Alien, but it's rather minor. I can't really think of anything else except the basic stuff (for example the alien ship and the "command chair" that appear in the Prometheus trailers and that are equivalent to those seen in Alien).

4. I wouldn't really call it gory, although there's a quite disturbing scene (you'll immediately know which one I'm talking about) involving an opened body, and there's also blood spilled elsewhere.

5. It indeed gets tense after some time, but it's not really the kind of tension I felt with Alien. In the latter, the entire tension came from there being one Alien in the ship without knowing where it was - here, it's more complicated than that, and you alternate between moments of tension and moments of simply wanting to know what's going to happen based on what we've seen previously (not the best way to phrase it I guess, but I can't really find better words :-D).

There you go, I kept it vague to avoid spoilers, but if you want specifics I'll be happy to reply.
