First full-length Prometheus trailer ...

[CADstraps]

want!

[TGE]

So theProm. Trailer told us already that the cutest female member of the crew got orally penetrated, that some died, that they managed to get off planet ( with a knocked up cute female crewmember) that they managed to destroy the alien ship, and thatthe music and sound effects are top class.
And I got a little bit disturbed, when the ship Urologist said " big things have small beginnings" pointing his digit with a gleam in his evil eyes.

Any questions?

LOL! If that was the only summary I had, I don't think I'd be too eager to see the movie.



......or would I?

International/UK trailer ...

[v76]

After multiple viewings of both the US/Wondercon and international trailers, I feel like I was more Gee'd up by the original teaser trailer (the one with the Alien trailer "siren" and the "Judge and Jury" score throughout its 1 min. or so running time). Perhaps it was a combination of so little being revealed, and the eerie music score. I also hope that the sequence of events shown in the latest trailer(s) are not in chronological order.

My wishlist for the film is ...
1. Really slow buildup of tension ... almost nothing out of the ordinary in the first 45mins to an hour.
2. The terror is mostly psychological (like in the original Alien).
3. Epic-scale - not just for the sets, but also the story arc.
4. What you see isn't that obvious ... not everything is spelled out for the viewer.
5. Some sci-fi tropes not previously explored in detail based on hard science.
6. In other words, plenty of space for the imagination of the viewer to run amok.

Plus some sex. Sex under weightless condition. They always wake up from those freezers, which is a bit boring.

I think the two archaeologists are getting it on from the looks of it. My guess is that the guy's infected somehow (you can see a tiny worm-like thing squirming through his eyeball), and he ... um ... impregnates a nasty in his g/f. Unless of course, Mr. Scott is misleading us by messing up the chronological order of the scenes as multiple red herrings.

I still feel that there's some weird/advanced nanotech and genetic engineering which forms the crux of the movie.

Edit: The freezing is inevitable, since it probably takes a few decades to get to their destination (assuming a fairly proximate star system) at a velocity almost comparable to the speed of light (unless Scott implied FTL technology ... even then, life/matter might not survive it).

Surely they would have teo person freezers, with a time delay for the freezing?

I read domewhere that on the future Mars expedition, the sexes will be matched/ paired.
We are and will always be humsn, sfter all.
Btw, I am talking tasteful scenes, not anything pornographic and clinical.

Quite interesting ... there's a new website for Weyland Industries (the one in charge of the Prometheus mission). Here's a fictitious timeline

https://www.weylandindustries.com/#/timeline

FTL travel has been mentioned, so has the discovery of LV-426 (a nod to "Alien"), and invention of a Power Loader (appears in "Aliens").

Edit: I have a feeling we will see most of the patented technology mentioned in the timeline somewhere in the movie.

V76, you seem to be a true Alienologist!!

[v76]

Haha, thanks Janne! There's also this rather tongue-in-cheek fictitious TEDTalk by Weyland Industries founder Peter Weyland (Weyland-Yutani in "Alien" ... but in the timeline of Prometheus they are 2 separate entities) -
