I'm so stoked that I can't sleep and everyone else I could bother seems to be able to .So have this (and thanks for the American politics thread, clicks for you as always).
I know that this is a contentious issue, dividing even people who agree on everything related in a polarizing way but I'll say it: Prometheus is a worthy addition to the 'Alien' canon.
I know that Giger has been out of the loop since the first one, but plenty of people have apparently given enough thought to the term 'Xenomorph' to see through his eyes, at least a little bit.
Just go in without expecting fast paced action (think back to 'Alien' FFS), and forgive some superstition on the part of the characters (most people are superstitious anyway). Think '2001', make some time for relaxation and meditation, and also some truly gruesome horror. It's like golden age Sci Fi has somehow been resurrected.
