Cannot fucking wait.

lol

Trailer is supposed to be quite good and intense too, cut to a slow rendition of Bowie's "Nature Boy".

I wonder if they'll be posting both the green and red band trailers they presented last week?

First I've heard there will be a red band trailer too.
 
Prometheus took place during Christmas and Shane Black is directing the next Predator, so I guess Christmas fits. Fox must have a Christmas Extended Universe (XEU) planned.

EDIT: I just realized I accidentally posted in the Alein Ttrailer thread. Where's the Alien one?

You know, I rewatched Prometheus recently, and it's actually a lot more enjoyable than people give it credit for. Are there a dozen logical oddities at play? Sure. Are some characters constantly switching between being brilliant and stupid? Oh yes. But it's a visually stunning experience, and I found the mythology stuff really fun. Ridley has such an eye for in-movie geography - I always felt I knew where characters were going, and how they were going to get there. It gave the world a real, lived-in feel.

I dunno, I get why people don't like it, but I like it. Sue me.

Pretty much nobody shits on the visuals of the movie, it's just the logical oddities like you said are so monumentally fucking stupid I can't recommend the movie.

Did you know where the characters were going when they got lost in an alien beehive and started smoking weed in their spacesuits to calm their nerves?

But in all realness there were like two locations in the movie so it wasn't hard to be situated geographically. The bigger issue was being lost in what the hell was going on and why anything was happening. Are we supposed to be afraid of the alien snakes, or the person zombie, or the squid, or the engineer, or David, or random old man guy pierce...it had no focus and the lack of any reasonable character motivations and terrible tension building just made it feel like sludge.

I don't even think the cinematography was that good either. It was slickly polished in Ridley's current very commerical looking way, and generally aesthetically pleasing, but it didn't help tell the story particularly well, and I certainly wasn't wowed enough by it to forget about the rest of the movie.
 
Really hope this is a return to form for the Alien movies. Ridley seems to be back on form after The Martian and everything is looking good so far and the test / preview footage was well received too. Fingers are most definitely crossed for this one.

Haha, I mean, yeah, I did, since Idris Elba's character had them up on a map and all. :P

In terms of the geography, though, there are a decent amount of locales. There are the various parts of the Engineer installation, and then the Prometheus itself, which was actually made as one set (though with many layers stacked on top of each other) on the 007 sound stage. It's insane to me that they actually built all of that shit, and I think the good will from that heightens the experience for me.

And I understand the complaint about the lack of an identifiable antagonist. There are a lot of "creepy moments" with various characters that sometimes don't pan out to anything satisfying, so it's a totally valid slight.

What saves the film, for me, is that there's enough shown and not explicitly told that I was still interested in where the mythology was going, and the suspense and curiosity of that ended up being very gratifying.

I think we'll have to agree to disagree on the visuals, though. Prometheus doesn't have the industrial, dirty vibe of the original Alien, but it wouldn't really make sense if it did. This is a corporate science mission, not space trucking.

Maybe Ridley will retcon his retcon and actually have it match the size of the Jockey from the original movie this time.

*sigh* If only we could just erase Prometheus from history.
