  Anyone know what's up with the Weyland Industries then it has a date 10/11/12 at the end of the credits

  
  it has to do with the viral videos they have on youtube.

  
  Idk why but the first thing that popped in my head when I saw that was they secretly shot another movie and that was the release date

  GRADE (B +) Well It's offical. It was the prequel from the original "Alien" as it answered a lot of questions from the original movie while adding new ones. I thought it was very good, If you are expecting a lot of action this isn't the movie. It's more of a sci-fi Thriller. Again I suggest everyone watching the original "Alien" film before seeing this as it's clear again this is a direct prequel in story to that one. It's hard to a do a review without spoliers so I'll put it in tags overall if you are a fan of the Alien Series and Sci-fi you will enjoy it.

  (SPOILERS DO NO READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE)
  

  Spoiler:

  Basically the movie shows us where the original space jockey's from the first Alien film came from and the Weyland Corp that sent Ripley to LV426. They are basically the ones who started our human DNA from millions of years ago. After creating us though they made plans to destroy us by creating an alien weapon that would use our bodies as host and take over the planet. Before they could go to Earth one of aliens took out most of the space jockey's but 1 survivor. This new team stops the Space Jockey from going to earth by destroying the ship.
  
  David 8 and the new Ripley (Naomi Rice) are the only survivors and they take another space jockey's ship on a course not to earth but the space jockey's original planet leaving room for a sequel. So the movie again answers who the dead space jockey was from the original Alien and where did those aliens come from. The crashed shiped in Prometheus is the same one in the orignal Alien film. They really did tie it all together.

  Went to the midnight show last night and I agree, this isn't an all out action flick so it'd be wise to temper any expectations along those lines. However it is a visual feast. Just a flat out beautiful film man. As a big fan of the Alien series (the first two being two of my all time favorites) I thoroughly enjoyed this joint. A lot of nuggets and no doubt is left remaining as to whether this is a prequel or not after viewing it. All kinds of room for a sequel as well, which I'll be rooting for.

  Spoiler:

  In regards to the space jockeys and their creation of us, I think it's thousands not millions of years though. Also, are we sure the crashed ship in Prometheus is the same one from Alien. The shipped from Alien, if I remember correctly, was still in tact, no signs of a crash. Also, Ripley and crew were brought there (or rather sent) because of a distress signal, which of course later turned out to be a warning signal. It could be that the ship Ripley and crew found was the ship Noomi's character and David 8 are taking to the space jockey's original planet.
  
  Weyland Corp...fuckin niggaz over since 2093 lol

  Spoiler:

  Your right, Cause they were on LV-223 and in Alien it was LV-426, I think this is the start of a new trilogy and the 3rd film like Revenge of the Sith did with A New Hope will tie right into Alien. Yo the more I think about it, the more doper the film gets in my mind. It was mad deep. Also the ending shows that that aliens in the other films came from a mixture of Human DNA and the Engineers DNA, it's crazy. So though this isn't a Direct prequel to Alien, it's still a prequel but there is more story to be told. Ridley outdid himself with this one. I think your right though, the ship in Alien may end up being Noomi's and David ship but they have to show it in a sequel

  It's not a prequel it's the alien universe but a different story. Some thing do overlap but that's gonna happen when it's the same universe. Fassbender performance stole the show.

  You make a good point. Now that Ive watched it again, I like it a little more. But still, there was just too much stupid stuff going on. I liked how the one guy said " I like rocks, Im not here to see dead bodies, Im headed back to the ship" I was starting to like that guy cause he had some sense. But then how did they get lost when they were only like 15 min from the ship? lol Then out of the blue you want to go pet a foreign species instead of getting away as far as you can from it? and then the captain decided to hook up with the white girl at the precise time when the two guys get attacked. And what was the point of even having that white girl in the movie? She really didnt do anything or have a purpose.
  
  and who the hell just takes their helmets off on another planet? Even if the air was breathable, who is to say you still cant get contaminated? Most of the characters really werent that interesting or likable. And then the woman couldnt have children yet she gave birth to an alien? Hell, she got her stomach cut open and decided to put on a space suit and go into a hostile environment?
  
  I loved the visuals, and there is alot of room open for other movies, but I dont like how it was advertised as an action packed movie when really it was more of a backstory with lots of dialogue. But i like it a bit better after watching it online again. Watching the DNA of the engineer and the alien was still worth seeing this movie.
  
  Too many wtf moments for me to really call this a good movie. With that said, im a fan of the alien franchise so Ill prob get the DVD when it comes out.

  really? I think it was descent, but I went in the movie thinking it was going to be a straight alienfest.

  Yea David 8 was the best performance but the Andriods in the Alien Series always were good characters. Ash, Bishop and even wynoia ryder. The visuals were crazy once they got on the planet. Are there some plot holes? Sure but I think that was done purposely to set up a new franchise. Everything that his happening is leading up to the 1st Alien. I think people not liking it were expecting some Action Packed sci-fi movie but it's more in the vein of the original "Alien" which was a horror/suspense sci-fi movie. Here is the timeline:
  
  Prometheus - 2093
  Alien - 2122
  Aliens and Alien 3 - 2179
  Alien 4 - 2379
  
  It's obvious there's going to be a Part 2 after this scene:
