Wow what a great movie!!
It is very hard to fault this film imo..the acting, directing, story, effects etc are all top notch and the 3D is just brilliant!!!
This is a film that will stay with you and keep you thinking long after you have left the cinema. *%*

As much as I love the Avengers this film knocked me for 6 big time. It really is that good it's hard to fathom, a real sci/fi tour de force!
Can't wait to see it on opening day with a full cinema, media screenings normally have around a dozen or so jurnos and lack some atmosphere but it still left them all breathless...there will be some people jumping out of seats and maybe even hiding under them come opening day.
It is scary and quite graphic in parts, the last 10 mins or so tie into the original ALIEN beautifully but apart from that it is a totally new and original story.
Ridley Scott is the master of this genre and he has raised the bar once again.

Sounds good. A friend just loaned me the Alien anthology bluray set of the first 4 movies a few weeks back.  So I am fresh and up to date, looking forward to checking it out  *%*

This is not a alien film as such in the xenomoprh sense, I wouldn't call it a prequel to alien( many do though) even though it does tie in with the original film...I know that sounds odd but I can't say any more without spoilers.
Does the anthology contain the directors cut of the original ALIEN? The directors cut is cool.

it contains the directors cut of all four movies, plus two discs of extras. The directors cuts all have an average of half an hour of extra footage on top of the original cinema releases

The movie got a R rating in the states so it will probably be MA over here.

Saw the preview and it looks impressive. Two movies I might leave the house to watch - Promethues and The Three stooges.

They will both be worth the trip to the local cineplex.
Stooges looks very good too.

Thanks for this thread as it is a movie I have been meaning to check out.
I saw the ‘Alien’ similarities and thought ‘that’ll do me I’m going"  *%*

Embargos on reviews have been lifted and there are plenty at rotten tomatoes.

The Mrs and I went to see this movie today. I thought it was a well done movie that raised a few more questions than answers. I thought it was done very well and I recommend it to all especially the sci-fi fans that enjoyed the alien movies.

OK - now it is rare that I 'rate' a movie- but this one is a CRACKER  ^^^

I rarely see ANY movie ads and WANT to go to see it - especially the lame ar$e remakes and sequels that I am dead set sick of - as well as the movies with endless bang, shoot, bang , crash ( so called ) special effects that have been the same for 20 years - I mean how many ways can a car blow up and roll FFS  (((

Then along comes Prometheus.
A stand out on its own type of film........YES it ties to Aliens , it HAS to ......it is set on the same planet that Nostromo was called down to in Alien and..........well I wont say any more about the Alien tie-ins at this stage , but they are there, subtle and not so subtle.

At LAST there is a film that goes deep into your head- making you think about selfishness, greed, religion, God etc .....and at the same time is full of BRILLIANT scenery , sets and a VERY different story with a number of scares thrown in along the way. There is an excellent 'operation' scene NOT for the squeamish  #@# as well as an outstanding scene in the main chamber of the 'corridors' they are exploring that shows a take on how the Universe may have come about  #@#

If you like Sci-Fi, if you like horror ( which this ISNT made to be ) and if you like something with a different story line and you enjoyed Alien then GO and see this film I say.

A MASSIVE thumbs up  @@*
