With the streak of a tear, Like morning dew
THIS is what Ridley Scott was too busy doing to properly shepherd along the followup his other best film? It literally looks like Friday the 13th with Aliens in it, which we've already seen! I hope it's just a rare case of a misleadingly bad trailer because this seems too unambitious for him to have bothered. Maybe it's so out there the trailer guys had to make sense of it for audiences... yeah, probably not. A shower scene? Geez.
At least they brought on Kenny fucking Powers as the original space trucker, I suppose. Maybe it's actually a comedy like Scream.
While I agree that would have been much better and potentially redemptive, as it stands, save for a couple of interesting scenes and visuals (basically everything to do with the octopus baby proto-hugger), Prometheus and the intent behind it is really no better. It was stock sci-fi prequel schlock with enough pretension to fool you into thinking it could have been something better, but THIS is what was behind the curtain.
Sure, blame a movie that came out just a year ago and actually was an attempt at a modern tribute/facsimile (and worked!) I'm guessing The Force Awakens is going to make this look like Rogue One (though didn't Scott say this was going to be a *gulp* prequel trilogy ).
Right, I have to believe Scott didn't helm this just to make a bad slasher Alien ripoff like so many of his poor successors. Then again, if we've learned anything from this, maybe it's that Scott is just best at pointing his camera at stuff in pretty ways.
Lol, no joke, I was just telling Walter that between all these superfluous sequels and special editions Ridley Scott has becime the high-end, boutique brand George Lucas. In a few years you'll be begging him to sell to the white slavers at Disney. =)

NightCrawler said:After trying something new with Prometheus and failing (even though i applaud the effort, and would gladly pay to watch more movies that take chances, than the bland matinee filler we're forced to endure these days - looking at you Arrival and The Martian), we're back to basics! Alien meets Aliens with a protagonist that looks like Ripley.

Thank the Farce Awakens for this diseased nostalgia ridden movie culture.

The promise of a direct sequel to Prometheus sounded way more interesting than this soft reboot. Hopefully it's just a bad trailer to a good movie.

I'll watch it, Alien is my SW.
