10.11.12 | scott better be pulling a fast one saying there's not going to be a director's cut |
climactic
10.11.12 | the visuals alone make that movie for me. the shots during the opening sequence and the shots of the spaceship collision at the end are just stunning. and fassbender fuckin rules |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | They have about 27 minutes of extra footage on the bluray that I haven't seen yet but yeah I'd much rather it be a complete cut
And hell yeah the visuals are amazing...they look insane on bluray |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | But Alien is possibly my favorite movie so I naturally pumped this movie up way too high over the previous year or so and was naturally slightly dissapointed even though I still enjoy this a whole lot |
MeatSalad
10.11.12 | 6 is best |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | 1 is my favorite but I obviously love them all |
lyzakthellama
10.11.12 | the cesarean section scene where she takes the chest burster out was so awesome |
ViralOblivion
10.11.12 | I bet it looks good even if the movie itself isn't amazing I wanna get it I wanna see the extended and deleted scenes see if it helps with the characters |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | Yeah that's definitely my favorite scene in the movie |
Hyperion1001
10.11.12 | except the way she did it she basically cut every working muscle in her midsection in half and wouldnt have been able to move for a very long time |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | I think it's worth a bluray purchase, this is one of the best looking movies I have and hopefully the extra scenes are as awesome as I've been hearing |
climactic
10.11.12 | lol and then she walks into the room immediatley after and starts talking to the weyland guy like NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENED |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | @hyperion, yeah this movie wasn't the most logical which is my biggest complaint- that and the pacing
But man there are some classic scenes here, if only they were held together better
Can't wait for the next two movies oh man, if they fix the problems in this movie this is going to be such a great trilogy |
MMX
10.11.12 | I wanna see those deleted scenes so bad |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | Oh yeah viral my girlfriend actually ordered this to my apartment aha I was right! |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | @xeno, It was, I would rather Scott made a new scifi project. I grew up on Alien, it's probably my favorite movie ever and as obsessed with it as I am I would have rather him not touched the universe again- kind of upset he's gonna mess with blade runner now instead of creating a new project but oh well. Been waiting for him to go back to scifi my whole life so it's dickish of me to complain. I just hope his next projects contain these awesome scenes in a more focused fashion |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | Deleted scenes are awesome so far, definitely makes the movie make more sense. Whoever cut these out is an idiot. |
d00derz
10.11.12 | The deleted scenes explain a bit more information, but it still leaves tons of questions. I picked it up the other day on bluray and I literally will be using this as reference material; say what you will about the movie itself, but the visuals are just stunning, as is the sound. |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | One thing I do prefer I'd the practical makeup for the zombie esque scene, I think the original was creepier than this cgi genetic alien
But yeah, still leaves a lot out but that's cause the script needed revisions, not added scenes...but these added scenes are severely helping this films quality
I've never enjoyed a movie so much that was so obviously flawed |
Scoot
10.11.12 | enjoyable movie |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | Wow ok the last scene with shaw and the engineer rapes the original two second scene lol, why the fuck did they cut the climax of the freaking movie...
Seriously want a directors cut now |
Satellite
10.11.12 | yeah i mean it's just a movie with aliens not citizen kane you fucking snobs |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | Yeah but Ridley Scott usually doesn't have so many plot holes in his movies. Don't get me wrong, I love Prometheus, but you can't excuse it's flaws because of its genre. |
MMX
10.11.12 | There is still more movies coming out in the trilogy
He will probably fill in the plot wholes by the time he's done with it |
Dunpeal
10.11.12 | just wish we would've known a little more on why the architects wanted to destroy humanity so badly, but that scene where the architect came out of stasis and went ape shit on everyone lol awesome!! |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | It wasn't the holes in the lore that bothered me like a lot of people, it was more stuff like no one reacting to shaws abortion thing, the silly run in a straight line and get crushed scene, the unrealistic scene where Ilbas team is just Okay with sacrificing their lives with not too much evidence, the part where the guy willingly reaches for the snake alien, etc
Still though, high hopes for the sequel- I have a feeling with a new screenwriter things will be much better. It had potential to have even crazier scenes and visuals than this and with a cohesive plot that will be one of the craziest movies ever IMO
And fassbenders acting holy shit |
Dunpeal
10.11.12 | i understand ur complaints about plotholes, but honestly if you overanalyze it and have the movie follow realistic logic 100%
there probably wouldn't be any story. sometimes ppl just do inexplicably dumb shit |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | This is true, I still thoroughly enjoy the film but like I said I probably set this movie to unrealistic expectations- when I heard Ridley Scott was not only returning to scifi, but my favorite franchise of all time (his was my favorite of the series) I kind of lost my mind lol |
Dunpeal
10.11.12 | i can see that. it was highly anticipated. i kinda felt this was never gonna live up to everyone's massive expectations. but i dug it a lot. my only gripe was the not knowing the architects true motives, but hopefully there is room for that to get cleared up in a follow up film |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | Oh that they will definitely explore over the next two films, but waiting is going to be the worst thing ever. This is like my dark knight trilogy for most of the human race aha this is what I'll be obsessing over until all three are released |
Dunpeal
10.11.12 | where did you hear about 3? I wasn't even aware they confirmed a second. thats awesome if that comes to pass |
MMX
10.11.12 | The series was announced as a trilogy
They were already given a green light to make the 2nd one when they started Prometheus |
Dunpeal
10.11.12 | really? weird. all the stuff i read pre-release from scott was non-committal, but that's good news for sure |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | It's my favorite news hahaha
There's so much room to explore- the next movie they're going to the engineers planet and on the third they'll end up on the same one as the first alien film. Can't. Fucking. Wait. |
SiliconFields
10.11.12 | Excited, I highly enjoyed it, even though the whole "it's an Alien prequel" mess kind of over-hyped it for me. |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | In all honesty I am confused how they're going to arrive to the actual xenomorph- was the thing at the end of Prometheus the queen? There can't be only one queen though...i dunno i guess well see |
SiliconFields
10.11.12 | I thought it was supposed to be a hybrid, or early evolution of the xenomorph |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | Interesting...especially because if that's the beginning of the xenomorph it's all alone on that planet now that David and shaw left...it would be dumb if the halfxenothing somehow used one of the ships lol |
Deviant.
10.11.12 | Well at least it will look good |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | Ahaha that's true |
ViralOblivion
10.11.12 | Im pretty sure that xenomorph at the end was a queen |
Polyethylene
10.11.12 | I liked it. Flawed and uneven, but on a visual and philosophical level it delivered. Plus Cynic is awesome. |
ViralOblivion
10.11.12 | Why do people think its a prequel? Ridley Scott even said its not |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | @poly, my thoughts exactly
@viral- he said this isn't a direct prequel but after Prometheus was released he said the next two will lead up to the original |
ViralOblivion
10.11.12 | Yeah but so many people think Prometheus is a direct alien prequel I heard the next movie is gonna be titled Paradise |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | That's what I hear too- and that was originally the title of Prometheus but I think Prometheus is more fitting
This clearly isn't a direct prequel to alien without the next two movies, that's a crazy assumption |
MMX
10.11.12 | Paradise is a fitting title since the engineers are viewed as gods/makers |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | Yeah I guess they're both kind of fitting but I'm happy he's saving that title for a sequel |
ViralOblivion
10.11.12 | I find it fitting also its simple I like it |
MMX
10.11.12 | Paradise would have been a stupid title for the 1st movie |
ViralOblivion
10.11.12 | Yeah haha |
ZombicidalMan
10.11.12 | I liked Prometheus fine, basically what's been said I agree with. Fassbender ruled, great special effects.
Maybe the next movie will see a new crew coming back to the planet and the xenoshit will wreak havoc on them? Though I'd feel cheated out of a good plot |
MMX
10.11.12 | Well if the movie title is actually paradise, I think the movie will take place on the engineer
planet/home place thingy or in search of it. It just makes sense |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | @mmx- Im pretty sure Scott said that's what he is doing, but I have no source so I could just be relying on rumors- i just wouldn't understand how the protoxenomorph would fit into that equation seeing as he's on a planet basically alone now...well I guess there's still the black goo whatever that is and some other creatures but still |
ViralOblivion
10.11.12 | Well I think it's gonna just continue from shaw and David and the xenomorph might possibly go into the other temple there were more than one if I remember and xenomorphs can handle any type of weather they adapt to anything |
MMX
10.11.12 | Here's what I see happening to the protoxenomorph
A) Fucked and left for dead
B) Somewhere in the movie Stupid rescue team returns to planet it crawls onto ship, the proto waits till it's on another planet or close to it wreaks havoc on bitches crashing ship on OG ALIEN 1 PLANET
C)??????????????
D) Thing suddenly sprouts wings and goes coo coo ca choo off that rock
E) Some idiot rich guy knows it's there beacuse of some bullshit and want's it as a pet. Picks it up and shit get's real |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | @mmx first time i real life loled in a whole aha
@viral- but at the end of the movie David and shaw take a ship and leave the planet |
ViralOblivion
10.11.12 | But wasn't their more temples? |
MMX
10.11.12 | Secret option F) OOOOHHHHHHHHHHH (This is assuming the blonde bitch lived, which is doubtful) It is fucked and left for dead, BUT the black guy was infected and fucked the blonde girl whos a bitch (Can't remember names right now) and for whatever reason (massive black dick) there was a delayed reaction in the birth of another facehugger. Shaw meets the engineers, they be like what up my nigga, they go back to the engineer military planet and the facehugger sneaks on board or attacks an engineer, it gets pregnant (Engineers go herp derp all the way home) protoxenomoroph is born IT KILLS EVERYTHING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | Is it bad that i followed that?
Smoking before reading these comments is gold |
MMX
10.11.12 | Before Shaw dies, she sets off distress signal on the engineer planet/Alien 1 planet. Protoxenomorphs
kill everything and evolve into current xenomorph. Alien 1 crew finds signal goes to explore. Shit
gets real. OMG RIPLEY. This also explains why the planet in the 1st Alien Movie looks dead. |
