The Sun
Only Prometheus had a better view, and he paid dearly.
I couldn’t stop thinking of….
Take that Icarus. Eat your heart out.
The airplane was a nice touch.
Alien 40th Anniversary Short Film: "Ore"
Tiny budget, 10mins to work with and it was better than Prometheus and Covenant even with the dodgy reaction scene in the control room.
High electric tower nearly crushes a man
As much crap as Prometheus gets, that movie and this video prove that humans don't usually make the best decisions in high-stress/panic situations. Lizard brains FTW.
Why not run away sideway?
High electric tower nearly crushes a man
Apparently learned evasive tactics by watching Prometheus...

Alien: In Memoriam
Yep.
When the crew of Nostromo died, you felt like there was nothing they could have done (apart from Dallas, who stupidly let Kane back on the ship).
When the marines died, you felt they were sent into an unwinnable situation.
In Prometheus*, I was actively rooting for the aliens/engineer/giant rolling ship to kill all the fucking idiots involved so humanities average intelligence would go UP.
"I fucking love rocks!"
* and apparently Covenant, though I haven't seen it.
I only recognize Alien and Aliens as canon. All the others are trash.
Just a totally normal video, nothing weird about it at all
Reminds me of Prometheus.

Frankie Boyle's audiobook Prometheus is available for free on his website.
Alien:Covenant / The Crossing
ChaosEngine, I recommend checking out the fanedit called "Prometheus: Giftbearer". It incorporates deleted and alternate scenes into the film. It brings much better clarity to the story. The original version was ambiguous to a fault.
Alien:Covenant / The Crossing
That 2:41 was so much better the entirety of whatever fucking nonsense Prometheus was trying to call a plot.
Alien: Covenant | Official Trailer
@Payback: Forgot to say, because I was on a Jean-Pierre Jeunet rant, but David Fincher directed Alien 3, so *thumbs up* -- it wasn't that boring of a film, with some strange elements of a monastic lifestyle among criminals. I thought it was more thought provoking than Prometheus.
Alien: Covenant | Official Trailer
I am a fan of Alien Rez, not because of Joss Whedon's patchwork script, but because at least it had the familiar comedic elements of Jean-Pierre Jeunet and his usual returning ensemble cast (Ron Pearlamn, Dominique Pinon), as well as Sigorney Weaver being a badass mother.
Just my opinion. I love all of Jeunet's films; as wild and varied as the genres, his film style and character driven stories transcend the genre. City of Lost Child, Amelie, Delcatessen, Micmacs -- really excellent track record. Cool bit of science fiction in all of his films, even if just sort of a chaotic sense of fate and surrealism.
Ridley Scott is hit or miss -- but then again, Ridley Scott has far more a prolific film career so it's like arguing the planetary distances versus the intergalactic distances, we can't fully comprehend the multitude of influences involved in making a film and the secret to making it a good film, so what does it matter if it's 1 astronomical unit, 2 light years, or 26 billion light years, it's all beautiful art.
My kindness aside, his last 5 films: Robin Hood, Prometheus, The Counselor, Exodus, The Martian -- typical and BORING blockbustery movies. 1492 and everything after have been epic suck fests. Even Hannibal was a let down. They're all movies you're sort of excited about, if it weren't for the fact that he drags them out and adds little element of noticeable flair. Like Spielberg, hidden in realism. I want the stylistic elements of Alien and Blade Runner and Legend that PULLED YOU OUT of the movie experience to say loudly: This is art.
The soundtracks especially -- Ridley Scott replaced the original scoring of his movie Legend, which was a dazzling score by Tangerine Dream -- he replaced it with Jerry Goldsmith in rerelease... which sort of makes it all come full circle when you listen to the awful, typically EPIC score of Prometheus, minus all the atmosphere that the original soundtrack provided.
Ridley Scott seems to be heading down typical slasher movie plot lines. I mean, alien and aliens were awesome movies with different plots and feel. The latest ones seem afraid to risk anything. Say what you will about #3 and #4, they at least attempted to be fresh.
I think I'll wait for home viewing on this one. I'll be more interested in Blomkamp's.
Alien: Covenant | “Prologue: Last Supper"
It sorta looks promising, but then again so did the trailers for Prometheus. I'm a little worried that it looks yet again like the people in charge at Weyland-Yutani have picked another bunch of wusses, crazies and flakes to head up their trillion-dollar mission
Alien: Covenant - Official Red Band Trailer
Prometheus was almost great, but there were too many "that's fucking stupid" elements. The entire crew was shit, not a single one was likable. At least with the space truckers in Alien, they were all sorts of assholes, but they were likable assholes. In Prom, they were just unpleasant people, doing unpleasant things, while generally being bad people - I hate them all still.
One thing Prometheus had going for it was visuals - Ridley Scott knows how to film a good looking film, I don't really think anyone can argue that. I really hope the story won't get fucked over this time, and I hope it won't just be a retread either. The reason Aliens was so great, is that it did something new with the franchise; prometheus tried and failed to do that well.
Alien 3 was not actually so shit, I think. It made some damn near unforgivable choices in killing off Newt and Hicks off screen, but aside from that I actually liked it. Close to a retread of Alien, but still a twist on it.
A4 was just shit with some good bits in - the many twisted clones of ripley, the Auton, and the aliens in water was all fun things. The rest is garbage.
I'm cautiously optimistic about Covenant, more classic horror, I wager, but with Scott's signature visuals.. we'll see!
Really, you would rather shame them for Prometheus instead of Alien 3 or 4?!? Prometheus had it's problems, but 1/2 alien mama Ripley clone and a level 5 biohazard containment ship that returns home automatically if things go wrong, I mean, come on. Prioritize.
