Prometheus

[Gordon Steadman]

It is always dangerous to try and compare any spin off film with an original that is considered a classic of its kind. There have been very few that manage to equal or better the original.

I enjoyed this film on its own terms and thought the way it filled us in on some details of the original quite smart. Lets face it, the original left a few unanswered questions too but the acting and atmosphere were so exceptionally good that they got glossed over. The mysterious is always thought provoking.

Got to say I am eagerly awaiting this: http://www.theguardian.com/film/film...gs-to-hope-for
If it is half as good as the original it will be worth watching.

Sigh - not possible to do a good sequel, best left alone imho.

There were a few books written as sequels but I don't think they did that well.

Interesting that Roger Deakins is on board as Director of Photography?
Not the original Blade Runner DP, but he has a strong template to follow and Deakins was responsible for Shawshank Redemption, Kundun, and all of the Cohen Brothers work.

Colour me optimistic, apart from Ryan Gosling being rumoured to star...

The deleted scenes make a lot of sense....initial viewing was very much WTF.

A fine bit of cinema with a few viewings-darwinian evolution left intact with an injection of external malarkey.

Long chain fatty acids and lighting strikes aside!!!

I enjoyed it , although ,I too was a bit over awed by what was really supposed to be going on.
Alien was a true classic but in a way , I loved Aliens even more ,as edge of seat stuff , with Ripley looking all sexy and hot and sweaty

I would like to see Prometeus again , and try and grasp it properly
