Also, I always hated the name Acheron; where did it come from?
Quote from: HybridNewborn on Mar 02, 2012, 06:54:26 PMIt was mentioned in the script for Aliens, during Ripley's hearing, I believe, but the line wasn't used and it isn't referred to as such anywhere in the film.

Purely from a business point of view, it would just be pointless.Plus, this planet looks pretty mighty (going by my limited first impressions). LV426 is just some bumf**k backwater planetoid.Where is the concrete evidence that the planet isn't LV-426?

Quote from: Deuterium on Mar 02, 2012, 06:53:33 PMAcheron has a fabled name in Greek Mythology. Have you tried Google?

Quote from: 180924609 on Mar 02, 2012, 04:07:21 PMDont forget the 'dark sand storm' scene that sweeps Noomi off her feet. The large particles in the storm and the way that the scene is framed around the image of the Prometheus landing strut is a big hint that this planet could actually be LV426 prior to some terraforming catastrophe where a toxic substance is ejected into the atmosphere and transforms the entire landscape and derelict into the familiar giger melted bone forms.
Quote from: RagingDragon on Mar 02, 2012, 11:19:23 PMThat howling wind noise reminds me of childhood awesome.That and listening to 'resolution and hypersleep' from Aliens over and over and over again by myself in the dark. We're all mad here, I suppose.
Quote from: Deuterium on Mar 02, 2012, 11:49:45 PMIf you like "Resolution and Hypersleep", then I imagine you will appreciate the original source, which is the "Adagio" movement from Aram Khachaturian's "Gayane". Not sure if this was ever credited, on Horner's "Aliens" soundtrack.
