Lots of spectacular imagery in this trailer and it does seem to have a very ominous feel to it with a sense of looming horror. And it all looks lush and beautiful. I would have preferred gritty and "grungy" as Scott described it, but at this point I just want to see the movie and see how everything is approached. Some of the speculation is making me nervous (human like jockeys, mutations, a strong link between humans and the aliens etc.) but at this point that's all it is - speculation.
You know what I would love, if we somehow got a nod to the technology seen in Alien. I don't know how but maybe if there was a scene taking place on another ship or if there's a scene dealing with the company, they could show some of the other technology. In addition to the other nods to Alien, it would help tie things in some more and bridge the styles. I don't know if I'm making much sense here. I'm tired.
I just want this to be as amazing as I think it will be.
Things I loved in the full trailer:
- The buildup and sfx in the first 30 seconds.
- I haven't seen any of Noomi Rapace's work before but I'm liking her as an actress based on the footage I've seen of her in Prometheus. I love her very unique look and voice. All in all, a very strong ensemble cast. I was happy to learn that there are no "leads" in this, so to speak. It's truly an ensemble effort where everybody's important.
- That moment where a tear falls down Shaw's cheek as she says, "Overhead, they're changing," is great. It's unnerving almost. And you definitely get a sense of terror and awe at the same time.
- All the stunning new shots.
This needs to be R. This needs to be at least 150 mins long.
*Off Topic* Really bummed there were no PG-13 vs R questions. So many opportunities to have that question come up, but alas...nothing.
Ok, time for me to go to bed and dream of Prometheus.
