I cannot believe that some people say it looks cheap.
People who claim it to be cheap likely are... well you know what I mean.

Makes Prometheus completely redundant. If there is nothing revealed about the engineer culture. So what happened to Shaw......
Remember there's another 2 films after this.
Is there? I mean do you have this confirmed? I also recall this being stated by Ridley Scott a while back, but I couldn't tell if that was just an off-the-cuff remark or not. Lately, we've just been hearing that there will be 1 more, plus Neil Blomkamp's film. Do you know this as a fact from a reliable source?
There's going to be 2 more, maybe a 3rd actually.... unless it bombs of course. NB's movie is unlikely to ever happen. I have no qualm proclaiming if it doesn't start production by 2018 it's absolutely dead. Disgustedly enough, NB's aliens is probably the back up plan.
Also, there isn't anything in this trailer that looks cheap. Prometheus might as well be the prologue with A:Covenant being the first act of a quintilogy or more precisely a trilogy with bookends. The rumored 4th film will probably tie straight into Prometheus.
Spoiler
If the alien came from a spore cocoon then that could mean they are a naturally evolving life form who was harvested as a weapon by the engineers. The planet could be paradise and the tree of knowledge may be quite literal, eat from the fruit and attain vast knowledge. The black goo seems capable of this feat. Of course the side effect is the alien.
However there are 2 neomorphs in the movie. The one in the lander and one outside, who then runs into the woods. Who knows when he comes back into the story. We all assume the black alien is the facehugger breed beast.
One thing I have to be honest about, that 4chan leaker must have been bs. Cause how the hell can David drop death and then not land the ship. I don't buy a last minute defense where they shot him down. The mofo crashed on purpose more than anything or at least in a fight with Shaw for the controls.
I think Ridley told Blomkamp to wait because Ridleys plans could contradict Blomkamps story or vision on the alien.
And the spores i think are simple wildlife flora that has come in contact with the black goo, our first xeno plant instead of impregnating other plants/spores with simple flower stuff it impregnates anything that can give birth.
I think it's safe to assume they would have contradicted each other but yea I can live with the wild life being affected by the goo. Hell maybe it is true that David dumps the goo onto the engineers and the world is still in a state of evolution. It would be less than 10 years since the bombing run.
However the thing that I love about it is that the alien in this movie is not only alien to us humans but very much alien to the alien itself. I want the alien to be almost divine but not literally. It's hard to explain without it sounding condescending. The earlier Prometheus concept art had a ceiling clinging alien that dropped into the mouth of an unsuspecting and unconscious person. That is what I wanted to see. The alien looks like us because it was born from us, however on an alien world it wouldn't be surprising if it was completely unrecognizable. The spore pod is a direct take off of that. I like stuff like that.
Remember that beginning on Alien ressurrection with the little xeno bug? i think you call it a ladybug in English.
imagine if the black goo also can infect small insects, what hell it could bring if you pour it out on a field on Earth.
Yes i always had that phantasy before Prometheus when the engineer was still the mysterious space jockey,
so undefined and strange, i thought we would see a whole world of weird things that contradicted our logic and world.
But now Giger is gone and Lindelof leprechaun had its way with Prometheus and Ridley close to becoming a fossil himself,
i doubt we will ever see something so weird again, unless you get a passionate geek director who willl know his way around that universe and stuff.
But maybe the goo David dropped wasnt goo but something that burned the engineers, i think if it was the goo then the engineers should have become even more dangerous to David because of changing into a Fifield thing,
so why would the engineers die from the goo, can too much goo kill you? sounds like a good song for an engineer: too much goo can kill you.
I hope to see something undefined again in the alien universe, like the monolith in space stuff and the space jockey,
shit that is so out of place that its mesmerizing.
