So I got that bluray yesterday. To my surprise I discovered that the bluray version was rated R. Fantastic! I get to see Charlize's nipples! So I'm waiting for her doing the push-up scene and guess what. No nipples. Major disappointment. Now I'm thinking of returning the disc for some in-store credit. Rather get some second hand Metallica albums then live with this let down.
- Go watch some porn dude jesus. You buy sci-fi movies to see nipple on a bitch with no tits?CygnusZero4
- Porn Dude Jesus. I like that.dasohr
- We're talking about Charlize here.dasohr
- Devil's Advocate. End of movie, young Charlize, full frontal.
http://www.mrskin.co…ETM - She has tiny tits. Im pretty sure you can find free porn with women that are much more impressive.CygnusZero4
- Not buy blurays hoping to see some b cups at best. Smart move.CygnusZero4
- You watch your filthy mouf Cygnus! Do not talketh about Charlize and her nega-tits.
Ironmonkey - I was actually looking for nipples.

The planet at the beginning of the movie is barren, the Engineers are seeding life by drinking that District 9 goo to break apart and mutate their own DNA. It's a Promethean sacrifice.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

Sorry or was it all chance, random luck it fell in the water. Also wondering if they are protandry or protogyny? <- had to look that one up.- he sacrificed himself.Ramanisky2
- do you think he meant to fall in the water?teh
- yes .. he was planting his DNA in the waterRamanisky2

So was Scott a christian? Do most religions use the symbol of water as rebirth? Was the engineer falling into the water a plan for the black tar to migrate to other creatures in the water to create new hybrid alien off-spring?
What was the time frame of the alien falling into the water to Prometheus landing on planet?
Most of the movie was bad but by Scott planting this in the beginning opens too many cans of worms for me :)

I love Alien, and I hate Star Trek.
I love Ridley Scott, and I hate JJ Abrams.
I loved the Star Trek reboot however, and I hated Prometheus.
I think the Mayans might have been on to soemthing with their whole '2012 end of an epoch, reversal of polarity' shtick.
- I don't mean I love Ridley Scott like I'd kiss him or marry him though. I'd just be his friend.Horp
- Yeah we got that.CygnusZero4
- Horp needs friends.teh

I watched it on my PS3, not problems.
- i may take my copy back to play it safe, might be a bad disc, who he hell knowsprophetone
- Could be. I have the original 60gb PS3. Dont know if that makes a difference.CygnusZero4
- prophetone0
fair warning, just watching the bluray i picked up right now on my ps3, the opening sequence with the waterfall seemed to play 'fast' but then things seemed fine until at random points the scenes freeze and then play on after skipping ahead 5 or so secs.
apparently this disc is problematic for others and it won't even play on some br players.
it's maybe due extra fresh encryption. my guess at least for the ps3 is this will be fixed in an update at some point.
gotta go, archived hologram dude's playing a flute...
- just what I wanted, another ps3 update.inteliboy
- Seems fine on my PS3. Hmm.evilpeacock

It "sets up" the original, sure, whatever, but it also recreated it (and threw in a few nods to Aliens and Alien 3).
In both Alien and Prometheus:
• a small crew awakens from hypersleep to a mission they didn't expect/weren't briefed on before leaving
• an android passes as human (a surprise in Alien, but known in Prometheus and then lampshaded with "are you a robot?" asked to Vickers) and endangers the crew because it's taking orders/following protocols that render them expendable
• in both cases the android's orders come from a quasi-parental figure (David's 'father' in Prometheus, and a computer named Mother in Alien)
• the android physically assaults the female lead in an attempt to carry out his mission
• the crew accidentally awakens an alien weapon, originating in a container on the floor, and one gets infected and they bring him back to the ship where he dies
• much of the remaining crew is killed by an alien (in Prometheus the infected Fifield and then an Engineer)
• their ship is sacrificed to stop the threat, but for naught because the alien/Engineer survives and confronts the female lead one final time in a smaller space ship ejected from the main one
• there's ultimately a single female survivor who spends much of the movie being ignored by her superiors and seems to be the only one with a grasp of how serious this shit isAnd in Aliens and Prometheus we have:
• a terraforming/atmosphere-producin... station on a barren rocky planet
• an incredulous crew briefed about their alien mission
• the female lead has a surrogate daughter to address her motherhood issues (Ripley missed her daughter's entire adult life, returning to Earth years after she died, and Shaw is infertile and deeply upset by her inability to 'create life')And for good measure, Alien 3 and Prometheus:
• the sole female survivor is infected with an alien fetus
• the sole female survivor is aided by the disembodied android headI've watched it three times now hoping to glean some hidden value from it which others must be privy to, but I don't believe there is any lost among the plot holes and bad writing.
- Everything would be much clearer for me if they showed more of story about engineer who jumped in the waterteh
- this is supposedly covered in the alternate beginning and endings on the DVDflashbender
- The entire beginning is what made the movie for me.teh
- Scott could make a movie just on the engineers now also.teh

just picked up the blu-ray. i find it funny that the packaging and an additional sticker are eager to point out "Questions Will Be Answered..."
- ... in the sequel lol. But they answered the main question, where do we come from.CygnusZero4

I finally got around to watching this nearly incoherent mess.
Like Tron Legacy, it's a remake disguised as a continuation of the series. Prometheus is just too aware of the original Alien movie and ends up recreating the original, poorly.

Is this thread still going on?

Speculation is that the engineers communicate in tones, and the flute was a way to simulate that. So in reality the ship is 'vocally' commanded.
I choose to believe this, only because I need to.
- Except when you watch the deleted scenes the Engineers talked.CygnusZero4

- Here you go asshole. Nice idea about the flute. lol
http://www.youtube.c…CygnusZero4 - The flute serves no other purpose than to unlock their navigation system.CygnusZero4
- Fucking guy thinks they talk in TONES. lol, they do talk like we do, but it was cut out.CygnusZero4
- It's a web theory, not my own. You really are a cunt, aren't you?ETM
- I was making fun of the flute only two post up in the comments. Such a useless, twat.ETM
- Typical of the trolls here who won;t even put the city they live in or even an email in their profile.ETM
- fellas fellas it just a bit of a misunderstanding ... we all agree the flute idea suckedRamanisky2
- i liked it :/ thought it was an interesting way to show how vastly different our technologies could bescarabin
- if it were controlled by an iphone or something i'd be disappointedscarabin

Hehe that flute was hilariously corny, come on, Im glad they did it to add some ridiculousness to a movie trying so hard to be serious.
Ill netflix the bluray and watch it again, but the movie really is not something I would want to watch 20 times. Just not even close to enough in this movie for that.
- Giant built dude playing the flute. Awesome.CygnusZero4
- Why the F would he even have a flute? I thought humans invented those.CygnusZero4
- Ramanisky20
I hated the engineer & his flute (what genius came up with that one)
and how could Ridley film it? ... I cringe just thinking about that
