It's better than Moon, which was my previous favourite contemporary scifi movie. I can't stress enough just how pulpy it is and I imagine that's where Lindelof's strenghts came through.

Don't forget Transformers and Pirates.

Oh come on people.
Jurassic Park is a good take on the Prometheus tale. But The Mummy is not.
Just saw it. Wasn't disappointed. Classic Alien. Visually gorgeous, interesting plot with a lot a mysteries, excellent tension and atmosphere. I didn't understand everything though. I need to lurk in the spoiler thread. There was just one or two scenes a bit stupid but otherwise I don't have any complaints.
Yeah hold off on watching them so you're not constantly thinking about what may or may not come up in Prometheus

It stands on his own perfectly fine, however having seen alien and aliens definitly brings a extra dimension to it.

Just saw it today. It was good, but I wish I didn't watch the trailers before hand.
Saw it on Friday and it was awesome. I'd only seen 1 trailer beforehand which seems to be the best way to experience it, as I gather most of the plot had already been revealed?
The visuals & 3d were fantastic, some incredible scenes in there as you'd expect from Scott.
Hoping for a DC as I didn't think it was long enough for the amount of content they tried to get in.

Where does Alien: Resurrection fit in this?
It was far from perfect, but it was a fun, strange time.
Great visuals, designs and acting. Mostly good fleshing out of the Alien universe (apart from one or two weak parts). A few too many characters and too fas paced, leaving little time for atmosphere building in the first act.
Overall, a great blockbuster, though it doesn't touch Alien as a film, or Aliens.

What movie?
I just rated the ones in the alien universe... would you like me to add terminator to?
Silly man!
I feared this would be the case when Scott said the video release would include a fair amount of additional footage.
Yeah and mention the Alien vs Predator movies in there too please
Just saw it.
Pretty awesome movie. Liked almost everything, the visuals, the actors, the direction, even the plot was ok. It's not scary though (at least for me).
I still miss the gritty, dirty and real look of Alien(s) and Blade Runner. This has more of an AAA-Hollywood-movie look. Still gorgeous.
But certainly not better than Alien(s). At least not at the moment.

Jesus Christ that was good, I understand that I'm mostly riding off the hype of just seeing it but I enjoyed it completely throughout. I had a huge smile on my face when the title came up. Flaws are all perfectly valid, a lot of the characters are pointless.
There was a part my mum almost fainted at, but she's like that around those kind of situations.
Did anyone in the UK get the 10 minute Spider Man trailer? What the hell was that!?

If it was
when she did the abortion... let me just say I went with a girl that is giving birth in a matter of weeks... I laughed inside all the time.
Spiderman looked bloody awful.
Don't know how long it went on for but it seemed ages.

TDKR teaser is awesome.
I couldn't hear anyone even breathing after it, that's how cringeworthy it was.

No, comes out next Friday in the US; I'll probably see it on Sunday.
Ah yeah, knew it came out then but obviously didn't know where you came from.
I'm really interested to know the American reaction, both box-office and GAFwise. Hopefully early word of mouth hasn't hurt its takings.
