US Launch Ghetto Countdown Timer!
1 Day!!!!!

I made this thread so that members with the June 8th US release can have a place to go to be excited about the release, discuss details, and basically hide out for the week of hell after the UK release. :laugh:
It isn't US-only, but just related to the
June 8th release, so if you're getting the film on June 8th, feel free to hang out here and get excited with the rest of us regardless of where you live.
After release, I'm sure we'll drift back to the main Prometheus board like the black goo. ;)
I was trying to avoid the Alien franchise lately cause I fouldnt stand the anticipation anymore. I know some people like to have an anticipation and wait for something and have a buildup of some sort, but I never liked waiting, its killin me. But Prometheus now is finally right around the corner
I live in Los Angeles and I've already got my IMAX 3D tickets in hand!
For those of you who live near my neck of the woods, the RAVE 18 theater in L.A. (formerly known as The Bridge) is one of the few legit IMAX houses that will be playing the film. It's a real IMAX screen, not that IMAX DIGITAL fakery that the big chains like AMC and Regal are pimping.
Heck yeah, 2 weeks dudes and dudettes! The excitement will soon be well out of hand. :laugh: I'm trying to get a little US countdown timer up there, trying and failing.
That would be tight to get a timer, RagingDragon!
I seen a TV spot for Prometheus and my heart started racing. Just so pumped for it! WHOOOO!
I know... I KNOW!
This thread gonna get crazy around international release, it will be a fortress against the bloody islanders!

Anyone going to the midnight show for the movie? I hope I can go with my friend of mine and I can just stay over at his house after he is done.
My wife and buddy and I may try if IMAX 3-D isn't sold out. If not, we plan on going Friday matinee or night, and then as many subsequent viewings as possible before the end of the weekend. :laugh:
I plan on pulling an all-nighter and traversing 45 minutes of SoCal ghetto each way to make the midnight show.
Riddles, you'd better not disappoint >:(
i hope i can go see it as soon as the 8th
they're showing it once on the 6th in the country's only IMAX theatre, and i'm so jealous of people who are going
I'm going to get together with the guys and start a 'support Cvalda's Prometheus opening night cab-fare' via paypal. :D
I'm sure none of the stand-up gentlemen on here could stand the fact that so many of us would go out of our way to happily tote you along, yet you have to heel-and-toe it through the creepy streets due to us being hundreds of miles away in all directions. :-[
I doubt there's even cabs here, Dragon. :D SoCal is an apocalyptic wasteland.

An easier option would be just to take an avpgalaxy vacation after May 29th. :P Seeing it on June 8th at the 10 o'clock showing. Anywho, cryogenic hibernation suits me fine.
Nice. ;D Yeah I'm going to be scarce, but I'd be kidding myself if I thought I could completely stay away for over a week.
I'm a bit of a regular. ;)
All my hype and anti-hype have finally cancelled each other out.
I am now existing in a perfect state of neutral calm.
Ridley, I am ready.
Me too, I've reached perfectly spoiled levels, and now just float on the edge of the abyss, waiting to be pleasantly swallowed. ;) I haven't been dis excited for a film in a long time.
I am not excited, nor am I unexcited.
I am simply... ready.

Yeah, man, I'm pretty sure they do. I don't see the theaters loosing out on such a great chance to make more money.
I live in Central Florida, and there are (fake) IMAX showing's at midnight, but I couldn't even find a real IMAX in FL showing 'Prometheus'. So, I bought my tickets for Altamonte Springs, midnight showing in 3D IMAX. When I say fake, I mean the converted movie theater's that turned into 'smaller IMAX' experiences.....
That's crazy. I think someone else was talking about that as well, the difference between the 'real' IMAX's and the fake ones. Aren't the screens also different, as well as the sizes?
I don't know, IMAX is so damn big... sometimes I worry that the screen is too big to properly take in all of a film, especially the first time you see it. I sometimes feel like my eyes have to dart all over the screen to keep up.
But I haven't really seen many movies in IMAX. When I used to go to them, they were in museums and had specials about polar bears and railroads and shit. :laugh:

Sure, if you use spoiler tags please. Might want to nest one and let people know it's an actual spoiler. ;) But I know at least some of us already know what goes down...

I couldn't believe it was him for a looong time! Now that it's confirmed, and he's obviously the creepy scorched f**ker that gets up in that scene, just what in the hell happens to him? That has to be near the end of the film, especially considering the scene in one of the new TV spots were him and Shaw are in the corridor watching the Jockey holograms, presumably with David?
I can see where this is going. ;D
I won't post anymore spoilers. Something tells me this thread should remain clean for awhile. I don't really have any to share anyway. :P Tryin to keep away! :laugh:
A wise choice... considering the Prometheus boards, I've seen some shit.

IMAX DIGITAL is considered "fake" IMAX, and it truly is a scam. The reason is that these major theater chains (AMC and Regal) have simply converted a screen, usually from their largest auditorium, and extended it as high and as wide as possible so that it is technically larger than a traditional movie screen but not by much. The films are then projected digitally using IMAX brand equipment and the logo gets advertised along with a huge increase in ticket prices for a something that isn't even genuine IMAX.
True IMAX is several stories high and is projected from 70mm film, which means superior picture quality and sound. Most mainstream films shown in IMAX are digitally processed and converted frame by frame to 70mm film, allowing for outstanding picture quality that never loses resolution when expaded onto a larger screen. The difference is noticeable. I saw "300" and "The Dark Knight" in true IMAX and they were spectacular, especially the ones that featured scenes that were specifically filmed in that format (those scenes looks sharper and expanded to take up the entire screen, which made for an incredible immersive experience).
Anyway, if you live in the Los Angeles area like I do there are a few theaters that will be showing "Prometheus" in genuine IMAX. The Rave 18 in Culver City, which has assigned seating, and the AMC Universal Citywalk near Universal Studios in Hollywood.
Going to see it In 3D at the cinemark in Kansas Cities country club plaza. It'll be a tough wait because I'm going to a Monday matinee. Hopefully there'll be no one in there. I hate packed theaters. Plus my friends and I will likely be reeking of a certain herb.

Eeeeeee! Monday? Dude, I can't wait until Friday, let alone another 3 days.
I recommend seeing it in 3D, by the way. Really enhances the effect of the big set pieces and space shots.

Perhaps I'm wrong. They did renovate and upgrade the theater a few years back after AMC merged with the Leows Cineplex chain, so maybe they added reserved seating. I recall having to wait in line for good seats at their IMAX presentations.

I think this delay between releases is the best thing that could of happened.
Now I know to prepare myself for what's likely going to be the disjointed, ill-conceived, major disappointment I've been trying to convince myself for the last four months this wouldn't end up being.
Maybe all this pre-release anger will give way to calm resignation once I come to terms with said disappointment, and just accept this as an enjoyable spinoff ala Alien Resurrection.
But goddamn will it look prettttttyyyy.

I just wantd to clarify for anyone reading in S. Florida that the Museum of Discovery and Science is showing Prometheus 3D on their real-deal IMAX screen. Showings start midnight the 7th. Got two tix for the next showing @ 1:50 on the 8th. See you there

I'm expecting something more along the lines of
Alien3. When people talk of Prometheus as something both cerebral and aesthetically ambitious, I tend to think of
Alien3. And for the record, I don't think
Alien3 is a bad film at all.

I think this delay between releases is the best thing that could of happened.
Now I know to prepare myself for what's likely going to be the disjointed, ill-conceived, major disappointment I've been trying to convince myself for the last four months this wouldn't end up being.
Maybe all this pre-release anger will give way to calm resignation once I come to terms with said disappointment, and just accept this as an enjoyable spinoff ala Alien Resurrection.
But goddamn will it look prettttttyyyy.
I think your going to be pleasantly surprised at how good this film is! As good as Aliens is say (but I'm not an Aliens fan)
As good as ALIENS? We will see, but I highly doubt that.
That's just my opinion, loved aliens as a stand alone film but not as an alien film. Hated what Cameron did to the alien

That's totally understandable...and who knows, maybe we will all hate what Ridley does with the Space Jockey. I always assumed that the whole thing was a fossil instead of a suit and that nothing was inside of it.

Maybe they are and maybe they aren't. I wouldn't know since I'm trying to avoid reading any posts about it in other threads. This thread seems safe from spoilers since the general American audience hasn't had a chance to see
Prometheus yet.
My hope is that this thread remains spoiler free until the American release of the film.
Prometheus release in here on 15/06
Jesus,help me...I can't wait anymore!
I made the wait easier by reading spoilers. Lol ;)
Oh man, I remember when I was just like you guys are now. Savour it while it lasts...
If anyone can love Alien 3 despite its gaping plot holes and illogical scenes and unsympathetic characters ... then you may very well learn to love Prometheus in the same manner. Difference being, Prometheus won't piss anyone off as Alien 3 did upon release. It won't be the series' pariah. It'll merely disappoint you.

IMO ALEIN3 is a better film than Prometheus, thats just MY opninon though and i was one of those 9 or 10 people that atually loved ALIEN3 from the first time i saw it.

Difference is that Alien 3 has fantastic performances, excellent dialogue, palpable atmosphere, a masterpiece of a score, and genuine emotional investment in more than one character.
Judging from the fan reaction, Prometheus has almost none of these things.
It also has a satisfying ending.

On the contrary, Prometheus does have fantastic performances and dialogue - except it's saved for David and maybe Shaw... I can't tell, it feels like they removed a LOT from the movie. If Ridley says this is his preferred cut, then he's lost his senses. Atmosphere is compromised utterly in the film though, the score is ... and I never had any investment in more than one character in Alien 3. Of course, I was talking about in relation to plot holes etc. Here's my review, Cvalda, if you haven't seen it: http://alienseries.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/prometheus-review.html (http://alienseries.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/prometheus-review.html)

I have to admit, that sounds like a really cool plot twist. Too bad it didn't happen.
Great review, Val.
I'm gonna take Lindelof and Spaihts f**king jobs.
Twats. :laugh: But you can tell after reading Shadow19 - Spaihts writes dialogue like a 13 year old boy, and I'm not kidding. It's terrible, cliche, unrealistic, cheesy, and just plain awful almost the entire way through. I'm really not surprised that this film was so let down by the poor script. I am surprised that Ridley would allow this and even jump on the bandwagon to over-promote the hell out of the film. I bet he'll reverse that position later, after the FOX executives won't castrate him for it. I mean, you have to back your own film until the dust settles, then all the money has been made and the truth can come out.
Spaihts executes scenes well enough, and has some great 'big-picture' ideas, but the dialogue kills everything, and any good writer should know that.
Read a freaking Script-writing-for-dummies book, for christs sake.

Well, I was immensely satisfied with Ripley's arc in Aliens, and I wasn't interested in her in the third film at all, despite Weaver's amazing (yes, amazing!) acting abilities. There's a strange dissonance for me in the film, in that the actor is astounding and yet the character seems somewhat warmed over. And no, there's no central performance like it in Prometheus. Though David is fantastic, he is sidelined. This is why he's described as a scene-stealer - they're not his scenes, and yet he dominates them.

As Spaihts would say, "Writer, kill thyself." He may consider self-applying that remark :laugh:
I kid, I kid. Would be interesting to compare the dialogue in the two different drafts.
Apparently Spaihts wrote five drafts. FIVE DRAFTS! Oh boy...
Hill & Giler should have written this. They had wanted to do something like this to continue the series anyway. Such a waste.

Another thought that crossed through my mind after the film. The film needed dialogue akin to the speeches in Alien 3. Dillon had some great dialogue and Clemens had this gritty back story. Not so, here. I wonder how involved they were...
Yeah, I'll agree that some pieces of dialogue are pretty bad. It's particulary Holloway, Fifield and Milburn that get shafted with some shitty lines.
David on the other hand has some outstanding lines, dropped here and there. I really liked his comment about 'parents wanting to kill their parents' and I really expected that line to have a payoff later in the film. That didn't really happen though... :-\

They're definitely, err, Machiavellian in character, but they're integral to the series. They whipped O'Bannon's draft into shape (buffeted by other elements, of course), let Cameron do his thing, and saved Alien 3 from Vincent Ward, whose script was, contrary to what some think, flat-out bad.

Had it been made, then the fans would've hated it more than Fincher's movie. Every problem from his movie has its root in Ward's script. Ward couldn't even get half of the details from the prior film right. He didn't care.

I really like the characterization in Alien 3, even the red shirts are kind of 'imbued' with a little personality just because of the religious nature of the prisoners and the mini-culture they've created. I love that about the film.
I think Ripley's final speech is a bit cheese, but it's saved by Dillon adding his bit and firing up the ole' boys. :laugh:

f**k that thing!" Best line in the film. ;)

I love the Dutton, damn. He brings that sort of weighty power to every role he does. You can just tell he gives a shit.
This is such an interesting example in Prometheus, because they clearly got half of the pieces right. I can see this being used in future film school classes to analyze how the many pieces of a film must all hit their respective notes and gel for you to get a solid final product.
Sure, films can be carried to a 7/10 on great visuals, acting, and hype, but you've honestly got half a film without the rest.
Frankly I think that a good story is the soul, my evidence being that a good story will lead you to compensate for things that are visually unappealing, because you know the bones are there... but most viewers that like to think about their films are so put-off by bad writing that the visuals just become tragic, especially if they're beautiful, i.e. Prometheus. :'(

They both co-produced the film...so I'm sure they had the power to say something if they weren't satisfied about the writing. They had the power to do the same on AvP and AvP:R because they produced those movies too.
I don't think those two care too much about the integrity of the series at this point. They built an empire out of the first two films already and have been using it as a cash cow ever since. Ridley is the only one that has anything to lose in the way of integrity if Prometheus turns out to be sub-par.

No they didn't. Their names are included due to contractual obligations surrounding their option on the first film (and original trilogy as well). They had nothing to do with the series after Alien 3.
Their involvement with, say, Alien Resurrection was to tell Fox that it would ruin the series. That's that. As for AVP, no involvement whatsoever other than contractual obligation on the part of Fox.

I never liked the way that Giler always trashed O'Bannon's script in interviews. There was that "Win some, Lose some" debate with the WGA, between Hill and O'Bannon. However, I like The Warriors and Trespass lol, so Hill kind of gets an aquittal from me.

Needless to say, how often in this day and age do we get people in the jobs that they're best at? Rare, if my experience counts for anything.
It was the same way when I was pursuing a career in comic art. I met several creators, and the sad fact that the best people for the job aren't necessarily the ones that have the jobs came up constantly. That's why people like Ridley are truly rare, the combination of being good at what he does and pursuing it to great success, and this translates as a healthy product for the rest of us. Evidence of his passion, one we should all be so lucky to realize.
f**k. Back to writing. This helps.

Nah, I wouldn't call any of them whiners. There are some great people on this site who just don't enjoy it, nothing wrong with that. I just don't want to look at it while I'm still anticipating greatness! ;D

You can negatively anticipate something. :P
It is like somehow knowing there is going to be a massive train derailment. You know it will be a disaster, but you can't look away.
Now, I am not specifically comparing Prometheus to a train derailment...
Oh Ridley...why? WHY???

I don't think you can get much more anticipation than what the trailers have already thrown at us.
I like being able to talk about it from an outsiders point-of-view, I feel it allows me to judge the film with fairness from the first viewing, so I don't have to overcome the initial shock of something so new and in-your-face while trying to analyze it with a critical eye at the same time. That's always a bitch.
You can be excited or dreading its' release in here, I don't care, but it's funny that when you whine about "whiners" you actually become one yourself. We're not "whining," we're very artfully and thoroughly discussing many points in the film, views expressed, and properties of writing and filmmaking in general. You'd know that if you could, well, comprehend what you read.

Going to see it In 3D at the cinemark in Kansas Cities country club plaza. It'll be a tough wait because I'm going to a Monday matinee. Hopefully there'll be no one in there. I hate packed theaters. Plus my friends and I will likely be reeking of a certain herb.
Nice! Reppin Kansas City. I was born just an hour north of there.
Eeeeeee! Monday? Dude, I can't wait until Friday, let alone another 3 days.
Hell yeah. I love this town.
Yeah waiting will suck but packed theaters take me out of the experience. especially when they're full of damn teenagers.
You guys know what two shots I like from the trailers?
1. The one in my sig(Thanks Cvalda). The reason I dig it, is because it shows just how much bigger the Jockey is than Noomi, just a sense of dread and terror. I like it.
2. The shot where you see the Jockey crouching, and slowly stands up and turns to the side. I've always dug these type of shots. More badass than anything.

ROFL that video.
The 3-point landing was so cool, the very first and only time it was ever performed and witnessed in each type of media. After that, I'll go ahead and say it heralded the downfall of all things high-quality for the past few decades or so. :laugh:

we have great actors no doubt but not like 10-20 yrs before when the dubs made most of the movies awesome nowdays comedies have only good dubs here
edit: i have found it!!! still ridicilous only 1 movie in the whole capital city where you can watch this in 2d with subtitles but
many seats are already reserved so i havent got the best ones

in 3d (with subtitles) i could sit almost anywhere but i have never watched any 3d movies yet so i dont know if i would like the style at all...?
difficult decision
I personally really enjoy the Real-D 3D, but it does take some getting used to. You have to realize that the images you're looking at have depth, so your eyes have to work a bit more because what you're looking at has depth just like a real image. You can't just stare at the 2-D flat screen.
I think Prometheus wouldn't be a bad movie to experience 3D in for the first time. From what it sounds like, it runs at a bit slower pace and has some very nice visuals and wide shots. This would be better than seeing something with tons of action and super-fast FX scenes or complicated shots.
I watched Wrath of the Titans in 3D, and it was amazing, but some parts were so fast it could make you dizzy. There were also constant explosions and things like that, so I was flinching because it looks likes things are flying at you. :laugh:
I wish some one would explain to me why Hollywood has all of a sudden gone the 3D route? It doesn't seem to have any impetus either than money?
I personally dislike 3d because it ruins the movie the stupid glasses make everything darker. I only like 3d if the movie is like a comedy and random stuff is flyin at you
szkoki, glad you found it, man! I prefer 2D myself, but I can tolerate some 3D, like Avatar or Transformers 3.
So, what time is everyone seeing this Friday? I'm gonna be seeing it at 12:45PM.
My local theater is kinda porkin' it. There are only 4 total showings Friday. Two in 2D, two in 3D. :-\ Bastards.

As I see it:
a) As you say, money
b) To stop people pirating films with cams (from what I've read, it doesn't seem to have worked though!)
c) Stupidity?
I'm getting a little depressed this week...
A good portion of the site over in Europe have already seen the movie. This leads to a buffet of spoiler posts, that I want to click on but won't due to the movie opening here in two days. So the massive speculation has ended, the discussions have been had, and now there is nothing but the void before seeing the movie finally.
There's some spoiler-free stuff, but not much. Just hang on a few more days, and then the madness truly will begin site-wide! :laugh:

I personally spoiled myself after hearing such mixed reviews, but there are some people on here that have simply stopped logging on for weeks to avoid being exposed. They have my sympathy, but from what it sounds like, the UK has gotten the shaft before so it's turnabout. :laugh:
Long time forum lurker here. I'm incredibly excited to go see Prometheus tonight at the Kent Station IMAX 3D (Kent is a suburb of Seattle).
I've been avoiding most written spoilers and ALL image/video spoilers so I'm going in with a clean slate for the most part. I just hope everyone here in the US and at premieres elsewhere enjoys this day and can take something away from the film. Art has become so sanitized these days when churned out of the big studios. I believe Prometheus is a diamond in the rough and I look forward to its success and more stories to come.

I know exactly how you feel. I'm seeing the film in IMAX at midnight tonight but I still feel like I'm late to the party. I can't imagine how it must feel to wait months for an international release in other countries.

Reading message board posts isn't the same as actually seeing the movie.
I usually read the movie novelizations before seeing films anayway...and since there were none released for Prometheus, I'm actually far less spoiled than usual. :P
Just got my tickets for RealD 3D @ Regal Atlantic Station in Atlanta. TOO HYPE BIATCHEEEEEES!
I gotta make sure I bring my spare diapers and bibs! :laugh:
Hell yes, going tomorrow for a Matinee and an evening, gonna real pour it on until I'm completely melted. ;)
I've been avoiding most of the other threads about the film on this board because I know a lot of the English posters have seen it already and are already talking up a storm about the plot. I'm going to see it tonight and would be vaguely curious to note any possible differences between the U.S. and English versions of the film. Often times, films are modified for audiences in different countries.
Booked for IMAX at 1pm tomorrow :)
Got tickets for tomorrow at 1PM. Then I'll probably go Saturday at the same time. Both 2D, probably.
TONIGHT! 12:01am!!! Regular screening, not 3D. I don't like it, no matter how well done it is. Never have. Staying away from spoilers the best I can.

3D hurts my eyes, that's why I never go. I always end up taking the glasses of for 5-10 minutes at a time, or until the screen becomes incredibly blurry.
It hurts my eyes too, and it's more annoying because I have to wear those hideous glasses on top of my actual glasses :P But I'll "experience" Ridley's 3D at least once.

I was thinking about it, too, if I get really good feedback from...
trusted sources. But, maybe on my 5th, 6th showing. ;D :P
That's crazy. It was a bit to get used to the first time I went to a 3D movie, but it helps to pretend you're looking at a real scene... I mean, you have to do the same work with your eyes.

The 3D was worth it, in my opinion - and I say that as a fellow glasses-wearer. :)
As problematic as some of the plot is, the visuals don't number amongst my criticisms (except for a certain thing, but that's not in the realm of cinematography).

Awesome, dude! Are you gonna see it in IMAX both times?
Oh, wait, that means you won't be on a whole lot, huh? :(
No my buddy we're staying with has multiple terminals, portable terminals for me to go out there and patch in manually. ;)
I'm gonna be on here as much as I can, probably to the annoyance of my wife and friends. :laugh: I'm not gonna kid myself and expect to stay away after finally seeing this motherf**ker.

East Coasters just got out of their screening. Twitter is exploding with reactions, seems Americans are loving it:

Dear fans,
I hope you enjoy the movie.
Remember- there are many things to enjoy in this film, and you should always go in with an open mind and heart! Clear your head from all you have read- if you can ;-)
Throroughly enjoyed Prometheus. There are now more questions than answers which means we get more from this arc. Now I'm going to reflect a little bit and go back and see it again albeit in a non-IMAX3D format.
Loved it!

My only rub was the Holloway character. The film wanted you to connect in what is supposed to be a tragic moment for Shaw and Holloway. But i kept thining "thank god that scarf-wearing, hipster d-bag is out of the film". I feel kind of guilty about that so I'll go in with a better mindset next time I view Prometheus.
