After months and months of speculation about the rating, today we’re one step closer to finding out what that will be. An IMDB user by the name of dvonnesoneek has posted a pre-sales ticket stub which features an R-Rating. While this isn’t absolute proof of the rating… the movie still hasn’t officially been rated by the MPAA yet but here’s hoping it will be.
Thanks to JaaayDee for the news.
Yup. Which is OK, as long as it is more towards the R side of MA-15, not the M side.
I haven't been to see an R rated movie here in a while...

Probably not...since if they make any changes, they'd have re-submit the film to the MPAA and related organizations.
I wasn't referring to this forum.
There have been quite a few where people have quite genuinely been wetting their pants over that alleged scene for several months. Even more hilarious/tragic is the number of 'likes' such comments seem to generate.

I'm not too sure to be honest, SM. I'd imagine there was an international minority bitching about the rating. Like I mentioned above, the most recent complaint (now an R rating is official) is that it won't be 'R' enough. Whatever the hell that means.
Is it only Seppos who were getting their knickers in a knot over the rating, or did people outside the US get worked up about it too?
At least it's finally been put to bed. Unless you're an Imdb user, in which case happy 'soft-r' debating.
Yeah - like AvP. All the violence and monsters - fun for the whole family...
Precisely - and nice pun.
People wank on about the rating way more than is healthy.
This movie was absolutely not going to be as good in a PG-13 version… the topics and creatures this movie is going to include needed the ability to be dark and violent.
I'm in complete agreement. Jaws remains one of my favourite movies of all time. My enjoyment was never compromised because Spielberg felt the need to remove five seconds of blood from the cut.
Ridley has a way of getting what he wants. He will just tie in critical plot points with R related material. They won't tell him to reshoot if the movie is good in the first place.
He did the same thing in Alien. I mean - are you going to cut out ALL the facehugger scenes?
That's great! I'm ready for some disturbing images that are still stuck in my head when I go to bed the night of June 8!
It would be very family friendly
Well the fans wanted an R-Rated Alien film made by Ridley Scott and they got it, will certainly make it's money back
Just has to be a good film now *fingers crossed*
I'm still quite surprised they actually went with an R rating. Hats off to Fox on this occasion.

If the word of mouth is good then people will go see it even a R rating. There is a lot of adult movie goers too and if kids want to see it then the parents can always take them to go see it. I see parents take their kids movies like Watchmen or Legion for example.
everybody went /fangirl mode when ridley said it is 3d, i didn't care much...
i hope its' level is a bit higher than most of todays sci-fis or blockbusters in generally, though i didn't want prommy to become a "summer blockbuster"
kills the originality for me
waiting whole june, july and most of august and not getting a single prometheus info will be hard as, yoü know...
Oh, I'll totally enjoy it regardless. That experience is essential. But I was planning to go at least twice anyway, unless it sucks rocks.
was not impressed at all by the 3d effects, with tron:legacy being the best i watched with 3d effects, but still not very good.
hoping prometheus will be better...
Ridley was referring to another film that has 17 minutes of additional footage.
Cos the Alien and Predator flicks were all flops, right?
The R-Rating gives the director a bigger canvas to work with, whereas a PG-13 rating shrinks the size of the canvas...
If you know before you ever finish the film the studio expects a PG-13 rating it causes you to make adjustments and work on the smaller canvas so that you can fit what the studio wants. This compromises the film, when the studio says whatever rating we get, we get... then it gives the director more freedom to just make their movie and let the cards fall where they may.
Cause it could be that they just curse a whole lot.
