I
guess I am having a geek moment, because the trailer looks amazing.
This is a Ridley Scott joint with write Damon Lindelof. The
trailer looks amazing, if a little short. But, I love the fact
it only hints at what the story is about, thus giving us a guessing
game as to the story elements.
This
movie actually started out as a direct prequel to Alien, but Scott
changed his mind. The wiki page states that this story will play
within the universe of Alien, but will be standalone. I'm not sure I
buy that because the “Space Jockey” from the first movie clearly
makes an appearance.
From
Wiki, ((The
film will focus on a mythology within the Alien universe.
Set in the late-21st century, Prometheus will
explore the advanced civilization of anextraterrestrial
race responsible
for the origins of modern
humans on
Earth,[3] as
well as the background of the Alien
creature which
made its first appearance in the 1979 film
))
I'm
thinking there will be more of a connection to the first movie than
Scott is letting people believe.
Anyone
that knows me are fully aware how much I love Alien. I think
of that first film as an art-house horror movie. It is wonderfully
crafted with a great soft ending that suits it well. To top it off,
Jerry Goldsmith's score is suits the film, (I still think they should
have used some of Goldsmith's rejected cues and tracks in the
director's cut).
~The
transport units certainly have style as the units in Aliens and
Alien.
~I
freaking love the design of the spacesuits. Clearly a nod to
Alien.
~The
ship has that worn feel as the Alien movie had.
~The
slow appearance of the title letters is clearly a tribute to the
Alien movie from 79. Plus, the sonar (screaming) sound effect
is clearly homage to Alien trailer.

Oooh very exciting! The Alien movies (minus the 4th) are some of the only horror movies I love.
When I first saw Alien, all I remember worrying about was whether the cat survived. I could have cared less about the humans, lol. Of course, that changed in Aliens when I started caring about Ripley. I still wish Newt had survived the 3rd movie.
I like the fact Jame Cameron actually brought the cat back for the part two for a small moment with Ripley telling the cat "You're staying here."
Yeah, the whole Newt Ripley thing was fleshed out more in the director's cut more so than the theatrical.
