The Official Prometheus (Alien Prequel) Thread

I'm torn with this.

I'm dying to go see it ASAP, but I hate full cinemas. If I was a billionaire I'd book the entire screen room lol.

It's looking like it'll be chocka at launch :/

Some more little clips in this video, get the feeling that David deliberately infects some of the crew.

For me the sound was the biggest improvement

This is what I am worried about, too risky, will probably go see it a little after launch

I cant wait for the final 7 minutes of this movie too!!

Some folks are thinking Ridley has pulled a fast one on us, he said the final 8 minutes tie in directly with Alien. The credits run for approximately 8 minutes on Prometheus and they use the original Alien score.

I don't think he'd do that to be honest but some peeps are convinced.

LOL...I actually missed that post, someone over at AVP Galaxy was saying the same thing a few weeks back...unless it was you posting over there?!?

I'd not be seen dead on a "AVP Galaxy" forum!

LMAO...I just lurk over there, have never posted. It's got the most/best info about Prometheus of anywhere on the net though so i'm there daily.

anything I don't mind · 22 May 2012 at 22:04

I tried to book bfi imax for sunday midday. lol what i was thinking. It is sold out for weeks.

even the 3am shows have all the best seats gone.

I am going to try and book tickets for vue in westfield instead.

sold out = best seats gone

My local is 3d only (at least to book in advance it is) best not be showing it in 3d only or I wont be going!

Droolinggimp · 23 May 2012 at 07:21

Same thoughts here. I have checked all my local ones and they are all 3D. Guess I won't be going to see it now. Very disappointed of the choice of 3D only ( I now presume it will be 3D only)

As I said a few pages back, my local odeon replied to my email about 2d versions, they just said they had no information as to what times it'll be shown in 2d. They never told me it won't be shown in 2d though, so fingers crossed hehe

fornowagain · 23 May 2012 at 09:52

I'm sure it will play in 2D at some point, just don't see why they're only showing 3D to start with?

Edit. Ah..

Q: Is Prometheus ONLY available in 3D?!

Lindelof: .@Gemmayy It was SHOT in 3D and that’s how Ridley wants you to see it, but it if you’re brave enough to DEFY him, it’s also avail in 2D.

If I recall (from the Prometheus Facebook and Twitter feeds) the 2D version will follow on General Release about 2 to 3 weeks after the 3D release!! but some cinemas (there's one in Didcot that's the closest to me) are showing it 2D from the off!!

I'll just pop my contacts in and go see it in 3D

Droolinggimp · 23 May 2012 at 11:03

That's the thing I wear glasses. How will that effect my viewing of the film in 3D. I would be viewing (If I do in 3D) it either in the Odeon in derby or the Showcase in the Westfield in Derby, what are they glasses like there? Anyone else wear glasses?
