Ridley Scotts "Prometheus" (2012)


Recommended Posts

I think Alien and the small conversation Bishop had in Aliens sure explains why everyone distrusts Androids so much in the Alien universe :) I'm hoping for more of the same from our friend David in Prometheus :D

Well, ya, they did explain it, but I want to see it. I think we might get that scene in this movie though. Would be a good way to tie them together as well.

How is this a prequel to Aliens?

I thought this was an official prequel to Alien, so it ends roughly where Alien begins with the ship discovering the face hugger

yeah the small david trailer/feature was good, i think there is going to be that dynamic of good/bad question mark, especially when david said he can make decisions which ordinary humans might not be able to do :D

all military stuff is built with the " cheapest " price, Airforce 1 is still run on XP systems, as well as Marine 1.

Even worse look at this.

lol look at the os and the lcd screen in this pict ;) like i said the monitors in the old movies don't make sense but the hardware and os actually do since it's military stuff and mining stuff.

What's wrong with that? It's rock solid!

I know but some people said this movie can't not work as an alien spiritual prequel since the spaceship is more technically advanced than the ones featured in Alien and Aliens. Since the ones in Alien and Aliens are a mining cargo and a military spaceship and the one in Prometheus is a scientific spaceship i think it is actually logicial for it to be more advanced.

Same. I'm thinking this movie will have the android that we hear about in the first Alien. The reason why everyone distrust androids so much will hopefully be revealed :)

think it was just Ripley that distrusted androids and thats cause one tried to kill her...

Ah, my memory isn't what it used to be. I kept thinking she already had a hatred for them due to some "urban legend" of a android freak out attack on some people. But ya, it was in Alien when she was attacked by Ash that set that distrust in her. Damn lol.

Prometheus has been passed uncut with a 15 certificate in the UK.

The news follows reports that Ridley Scott's sci-fi blockbuster will be given an R rating in the US.

Scott previously hinted that studio executives could tone down the content of the film to secure a more lucrative PG-13 or 12A certificate, but it will arrive in both territories without cuts or edits.

Prometheus, which stars Noomi Rapace, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba and Michael Fassbender, tells the story of explorers on an alien planet. It marks the director's first sci-fi venture since 1982's Blade Runner.

The movie will be connected to the Alien universe, but Scott has insisted that it will stand alone and tell its own story.

Prometheus is scheduled for release on June 1 in the UK and June 8 in the US.

To promote the release of Prometheus, FOX France have transformed an abandoned underground train station in Paris. They have reopened the Saint-Martin station, located between R?publique and Strasbourg-Saint-Denis, on Line 9. This station was closed in 1939 and has not been in use ever since. The promotion will run from 16 to 25 May.

Wow, really, really, REALLY, looking forward to this movie!

I watched the teasers previously, but am trying to steer clear of the main trailers for fear that they may give too much of the story away.

The viral clips are still okay, though, and this latest one posted above is chillingly good!

I may even have to make a trip to another city to watch in in IMAX-3D.

Yet another movie where we find aliens and they are hostile.. How original...

Can't we find a new earth and they actually be friendly?

What would be the story then? Finding a new planet with inhabitants that are friendly sounds pretty boring and is more inline with the Discovery Channel, not a major box office film.

There are plenty of sci-fi books with friendly aliens and they seem to work out fine. It is possible but main catch wouldnt be action but something more intricate like character development or interesting conversations.

Anyhow i am still very eager to see Prometheus :)

    • Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.
    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
    • Just saw a news report of a Waymo driving into a flooded road.
