Prometheus
Le Chuck:
^ have you read The Gunslinger author's addition next to the original by King? Marked improvement allowing better flow and tie in to the rest of the series. Directors cut of Aliens is a better film too adding character development and pace.
I can't wait to see this movie.

Relieved to hear that it's nothing like the trailers.

I think US release is on the 8th. We got it early due to the Jubilee 4 day weekend.
I am going to watch it again this Sunday evening.

Coincidentally, Rotten Tomatoes linked to this article today that gives a list of movies that were improved by director's cuts.

Watched it again last night. Awesome.
Noticed much more content the second time around.

Just back from seeing it. First off, I must say not to worry too much about 3D. I don't normally bother, but this is something special. In the end, I would have been happy with 2D. I noticed a lot of 20-30 somethings there, which is interesting since they are too young to remember the original coming out, hell I'm 42 and I'M too young! SO nice to see so many latter day fans. How much so I don't know, because I was wearing my
USCSS
NOSTROMO
T-shirt, but I didn't get a nod from anyone. As to the movie, it was great, but not mind-blowing. I love the mix of actors, all of them very talented but not hollywood heavyweights. I always get a kick out of seeing Idris Elba (the wire, Luther). A very under rated pommie actor. Noomi Rapace (girl with the dragon tattoo, sherlock holmes) is great, but no replacement for Sigourney.
Now you've seen it and are looking at the spoiler, did you get goosebumps when the navigators seat came up out of the floor? And when the ship crashed into a very familiar position? Even though you knew it would? And were you a bit disappointed when the continuity was wrecked by the navigator then coming after Shaw, and thus not fitting in with being discovered in the original movie? Yes, it could be a different ship, but I think they decided the error was worth the extra scare
I give it 4/5. I am now going to eat dinner and watch the original. It's been at least a year...
edit: watched the original again. Still my favourite. Prometheus now 3.5/5 in retrospect...
