Rumour is October release

[tonyjg]

and this needed a new thread ????

[jsmith]

Of course it does.

Feel the power of Prometheus.

[petetherock]

Best time to buy, if you don't suffer from instant gratification, is about 5-6 months after the initial release, a little earlier if the movie bombs...

I couldn't put this in the 'Alien - Prequel' thread as its not a prequel

[jsmith]

Quote from Wikipedia;

"The film was originally intended as a direct prequel to the 1979 science fiction horror film Alien, set approximately 30 years before the events depicted in the film. Instead, a revised version of the new film will now explore a more stand-alone mythology based upon the race of giant beings discovered by the crew of the Nostromo in Alien.

... even so, it would be easier to have all discussion in the one thread.

There is nothing in the definition that precludes Prometheus from being described as a prequel (which, by definition it is) .... as I said, this is more of a marketing gimmick to create hype as  a result of fanatics arguing over it in internet forums and to suck in those who might otherwise be put off by the Alien franchise.


World English Dictionary prequel (ˈpriːkwəl) — n a film or book about an earlier stage of a story or a character's life, released because the later part of it has already been successful [C20: from pre-  + ( se ) quel ]

Maybe we should wait and see the film?

IMHO there is more than enough in the trailer to establish the correct and proper use of the word Prequel in regard to Prometheus.  The arguments to the contrary are a publicity stunt/viral marketing campaign..

I don't disagree with you Chops, in fact I agree, just I found that on Wiki. and thought it was relevant to what others had raised here.

Chillax mate, your obviously too used to sparring with certain people in OT/Clay.

Perfectly relaxed ... just calling claims to the contrary the B.S. they are - as I see it

And couldn't put this in the 'Alien - Prequel' thread as its not a thread about the blu-ray - its about the movie . This thread is about the blu-ray...

I also noted the Prequel thread now has spoilers...

[hazzad]

Yep pre-ordered here. Sure it will drop a little in price before then.

[Vieira4]

I will wait to see what Amazon UK's price will be before ordering.  Not even a release date yet.

[agelessgoodguy]

Plenty of LFE action pretty much the whole way through the film so those with decent Sub Woofers will find real sample material in this one....  yes I've seen it.

[hazzad]

Whats the chances this will be region locked? I gater Fox are still region locking new titles? Pre-ordered anyway and will see what e deal is before it ships.

[bassett]

I'm sorry to burst your bubble,  But it's simply a bad re-run of  ''Alien ''

Space ship going God only knows where,   Girl hero, in  deep sleep pod, wakes up, space ship crashes,
​Gets pregnant, to who knows what, machine delivers baby,  girl wanders off all alone on a the Planet,
fully recovered with a couple of dozen staples in her gut
End of..

How do i know,  I down loaded the thing three weeks ago.  Total waste of time

[Chopsus]

A spoiler might have been nice Basset - there are still some who haven;t seen it.

Not to mention that its already been in cinemas for over a week so those who wanted to see it most likely already have and "have made up their own minds", rather than listen to someone elses opinions. Its a awesome thing that we can all have our own opinions isnt it
