I think it's a sequel to Prometheus. In any case, it looks killer.

I assume she died in the dumbest way possible, according to the rules Prometheus established.

i liked the trailer but it failed to explain what is this about. The prometheus trailer was better i guess.
Still, i really looking forward to this movie....i might be one of the few people that liked Prometheus a lot.

I love how hard the horror vibe is. I like it when Scott gets nasty.

I felt the same way about the trailer for The OA. It turned out to perfectly capture the show. I'm two episodes in, and I still don't know what it's about.

I liked Prometheus a lot the second time when I watched all of the Alien films over a few days - didn't like it at all the first time. My expectations were pretty high I hadn't watched any of the Alien movies in a while.

I was blown away by the art and the concept when i saw it in the theatre. The movie has strong flaws but nevertheless i still feel its interesting.

That's probably the thing that I liked the least about the trailer. :lol:

But I'm still looking forward to it. I hope there are at least some more psychological and mysterious and human issues/portions of the film. If it's just aliens killing naked chics in the shower, I'll be pretty bummed out.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Lol. I'm the same way with Billy Crudup
