The dogtags are clearly from
someone, though whether that someone is a transmogrified Shaw is really anyone's guess.
Eh, serviceable. Moody, though nothing special, IMO. Not at all on the level of that famous '
Prometheus' one, but then, few things really could be.
There was something a bit artificial-looking and unconvincing about the Alien's face. Not sure why.
At least it had more promise than the lazy poster design. Guess we now know why there were two pools of blood in that set picture, eh? My guess is that the reason the other woman can't be let out is that both her and the other guy are believed to be infected.
Starting to have problems with Ridley Scott's infatuation with supposed professionals not wearing any protective suits... It's not like they couldn't have also given the pods serrated thorns to tear through the suit material and infect people that way. It's way too much like '
Star Trek' to have professionals not care about native bacteria/parasites/whatever, which could literally be
anywhere in an atmosphere and for which they would potentially have no cure.
I mean, I get that, thematically, he's probably trying to push an underlying psychological theme of sacrificial vulnerability and 'shedding one's skin', but it still feels as superficial as it did the last time.
So, yes, interesting, but it hasn't given me a reason to raise my expectations. Still feels a little too close to '
Prometheus' for that. Nice to hear some of the original sound effects, however.
