# My local cinema is not showing it :( they only have 12A and PG films showing.
And yet we will read about how movie piracy is killing the industry and 15 + rating films dont work in cinema's, and yet the #1 film in the UK this week is not showing!(!) but I can see The Avengers STILL!!

I was really looking forward to seeing this, and now I cant :(

The real insult, when I went to see MiB3 last week they had a huge cardboard promotional thing in the entrance for Prometheus :/

Fuckers the lot of em :(

# It raises questions for certain but the 'holes' are just plot devices to open the story up in the film(s) to follow.
It looks to be certain there will be more. Some people disliked the movie as it wasn't a self contained storyline it's like a set of scenes that gets people asking questions which I'm sure they will answer in the following movies.

# Well, I have a very high threshold for average films, so I'll probably enjoy it.
That said, I enjoyed the Star Trek reboot, then spent a long time picking all the crap science apart. Is there crap science?

# Not really that much everything seems pretty feasible
I can be fairly sure you will enjoy it though especially if you see the IMAX or Real 3D version the 3D is nice to look at if you get bored of anything else :D

# I liked it very much
Unsure about a few of the 'plot holes' although the next day spent on the web soon cleared that up, plenty of theories doing the rounds about what comes between the ending of that film and the start of Alien. Needless to say it's not exactly a smooth transition, but they did say that's not what they were setting out to make.

Planning on watching it soon. I've only just got round to seeing Avengers, so it'll probably be a month from now, knowing me.

# Nice
I saw it last night, in 3D which was an unexpected bonus, and with a broken farting bassbox, badly set contrast, and a woman who had decided to take her respiratory illnesses for a night out, cough cough, which I could have done without. But I just about managed to get through it.

I saw no plot holes, only open ended threads, it wasn't the movie I had hoped it would be, one that tied up all the loose ends and explained everything, instead it was a visual feast that raised more questions than it answered, and then left them open ended, however, I am now straining at the bit for the next installment, so I guess it did its job!

It also has an alien 'birth' scene that beat the original chestburster scene for sheer visceral horrible ness. Never thought that could ever happen.

I look forward to it coming out on blu ray so I can see and hear it all properly!

# I saw it last night and wanted to fart on Ridley Scotts head
actually more the writers...

there's so many bits that are SHIT SHIT SHIT! dialogue is poor, and plenty of bits where I thought, WTF??!? no one would ever do that, bullshit!!!
but plenty of visual treats

suspend your disbelief as far as it can possibly go, then suspend some more and you'll like it

# No no no you're not getting it
I think, anyway, that where it's going is it's taking the whole juxtaposition of if we accept our existence as being organic and our means to try and reach out and extend our lives beyond our planet and our finite existences being a technical one, then we can consider the Alien tech as being created by people who, for whatever reason, are extra-organic consciousnesses, and use organics in the same way as we use technology, if they have a problem they make an organic solution, in a cold environment where we would build a shelter and then shut the window to make the room warmer, they would re build their own organic structure from the DNA up to make themselves less susceptible to the cold, so if these people have a problem, then their solution is a genetic DNA re write, or an organic life form that fills the gap, where as ours is to make something dead and technical that acts as a barrier between us and the problem.

Our fundamental problem according to the movie is our individual consciousness ends when we die, extrapolating from the idea of organic tech theirs is that consciousness without organic life and the ability to do things is pointless and boring. To us organic life is precious and amazing and tech is disposable, to them the complete opposite is true, they may exist as some form of electrical life perhaps and never die.

SO my guess is, we are in fact a 'program' that was planned to have an end organic product that the non organically bound Creators designed to produce a solution to a problem, but for whatever reason there was a mistake, we didn't come out right, and due to that accident as seen in the movie we still exist, we are a forgotten petri dish essentially, and we've grown beyond our original programmed intention, or went wrong, we aren't what it wanted, which makes us useless to the Creators who now want to wipe the 'disc' which is our world and our existence, and start over to try again and make whatever it was they originally intended, and we're just in the way.

We were a mistake, the Aliens are the kill switch, the disc wipe, we are being annoyingly hard to eradicate, and as far as the Creators are concerned we are a bug in the system that needs to be corrected so they can get on with whatever it is they originally intended to create, without us wandering around the universe thinking we're important and being a random element to their calculations.

I would like to imagine if the Creator began as a single non organic consciousness then it's fundamental goal is to create another consciousness born from organic life, simply to find someone to talk to that it likes. A mate. It makes sense as otherwise why make organic life so complicated as to be capable of consciousness?

Although for all we know, it is all war, or games, or just something to do...

I might be completely wrong but I guess we have to wait for the next installment.
