Finally went to see this and given the mixed reaction round these here parts just went with someone who knows little of Alien or its sequels to see what they would think of it.
We both walked out of the cinema loving it.
As has been said most of the acting was good but David really stole the show, brilliant performance there.

The first thing he asked me when it was over was "what the hell was that black goo", and I agreed with him that it was silly that it could pull off all kinds of bullshit with no explanation and that is my major gripe with the film followed by the Space jockeys motive or lack of, for wanting to kill humanity.

The proto-alien and facehugger annoyed me just because there was no need for them and I can't see how you could go from them to Egg,Facehugger,Chestburster,Alien since it makes that lifecycle inferior.

Overall the film gave more questions than answers and had better get a sequel to give those answers.

finally saw it in britain and although the film didnt 100% blow me away, it was entertaining. however, i felt like it seemed way too rushed. no sense of character development aside from david, shaw and holloway, some questions we expected to be answered wernt, it just raised more questions and the ending seem wayy too open, which i didnt really expect, but you can tell a sequel is in the works.

Spoiler

one point i do love though was the story, the gore (especially when the snake breaks that guys arm and you actually see the bone pop out, i grinned, shivered and felt like curling up into a ball because of the tension, sounds and scene of it all) and the ending. i mean i never expected anything like it for a protoxeno to be coming up out of nowhere from a giant squid/facehugger.

I agree - it wasn't needed (well if done in more subtle way perhaps). However, it seemed to me that this version of the lifecycle is inferior as it required the additional stage of Shaw/Holloway having sex and conceiving the facehugger i.e. an additional stage.

Interesting to think what would have happened if Shaw hadn't had the C section. Perhaps if left longer she would have birthed something not dissimilar to the xeno egg rather than live squid thing...

She only had a few more moments until it would've killed her. At its rate of growth, by the time we see her escape from the room, it would have needed to tear its way out.

Possibly... but it didn't look like the baby squid was equipped to burst free a la the chestburster.
Spoiler
I'm thinking how more interesting it would/could have been if the engineer would have birthed a xeno egg as opposed to proto Alien...

So if Predators taught Humans everything, I'm guessing they gave Engineers the technology to create humans, and maybe stole alien eggs to harvest for themselves. Idk just a random thought, I really liked the movie tho, but the beginning is still puzzling, after the engineer took a (shot of death) and a ship was hovering about 100ft above, I didn't get that.   

Oh and if you haven't seen the movie and don't like spoilers, then don't go reading through a Forum Board DUHHHH!!

I thought the ending was pure sh*te.  Nearly everyone in the cinema either shook their heads or just sighed when it happened.  Myself included.

Referring back to my comment about how Prometheus is filled with unused ideas and concepts from Alien:

Spoiler


These little sensors we see flying around and mapping the Pyramid complex was something Ridley wanted to do with Alien except he was going to call them 'Mice'

Quote
I wanted to have small flying objects, like sensor's, which flew up and down the corridors.  They would find a problem, stop by a computer bank and fix it like little handymen.  I wanted to call them 'mice'.  At the beginning of the film they would be the only things that were alive on the ship.  We'd have shot a long empty corridor, so you'd hear them coming before you actually saw them.  Then WHOOOSH! It would pass by the camera, going through the corridor.

So glad they didn't make into Alien.

Dude, you have to give me that F.F. interview  :laugh: I have a few reprints but not that one. Ridley seems to be falling back on old ideas - he's resurrecting an old discarded Blade Runner scene for his sequel.
