God I hope this movie is great. Not just good. I want great. And I don’t think it’s asking too much. It can’t be overstated how Alien and Blade Runner are two of the best sci-fi movies of all time. No one has really ever come close.
Most exciting for me is that Scott’s two sci-fi movies were hard science fiction, not fluffy action sci-fi. No one makes hard sci-fi, not anymore. So if Prometheus is true to his previous genre efforts we’ll be very lucky.
The big question about Prometheus has been, how connected to the Alien universe will it be? And it seems that we’ve got an answer from the trailer: quite a lot. I see the “Pilot” and the U-shaped ship from Alien, which is a hell of a lot more than I expected to see in the trailer.
Also I really love how the letters of the title for “Prometheus” build on screen just like the title in Alien. Nice touch. Actually, the whole trailer is a callback to the the original Alien teaser trailer, including the music.
Have I mentioned how excited I am about this movie?
