yeah totally.
they have to come up with a really unique take to pull off what i think they're trying to do with this: mission to mars with monsters.

speaking of redonkulous retcons/franchises filling in details that didn't need explicating, in Star Trek Enterprise they actually explained why the Kirk-era Klingons didn't have forehead ridges while the later ones did: A VIRUS!

This looks good! I will regret anticipating it tho I'm almost sure
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 18 March 2012 00:28 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah I loved the screaming sound towards the end.
But can we be done with the Inception-ish low-horn blasts now, christ I'm so sick of hearing that in every actiony trailer.
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 18 March 2012 00:29 (twelve years ago) link
i know, what is it about that sound thats really appealing here? i'm slowly getting more excited than i should about this. damn trailers.

thats the siren noise from the original Alien trailer (probably the greatest trailer ever cut)

Does ALIEN have the greatest cast ever?
― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Sunday, 18 March 2012 02:11 (twelve years ago) link
I was thinking that exact thing watching the trailer. If it's not the greatest it's damn close.

has there ever been a movie that was part of a franchise where the audience didn't know for sure until actually seeing the film?
― Bo Jackson Overdrive, Sunday, 18 March 2012 02:47 (twelve years ago) link
The screaming alarm in that Prom. trailer reminds me of Clare Torry's screaming at the end of "Speak to Me", right before "Breathe" kicks in.

While I'm still a bit meh re: 3D and wasn't planning on even checking out this silly prequel stuff (even though I've bought some kind of Alien quadrology box thig twice now, first as DVDs and later BluRay) I have to admit that trailer kinda - aw hell, yeah, I want to see it now.

at least the movie was shot in 3D, not post-converted, and what we've seen so far looks fantastic in 2D, so no one should complain about that aspect at least.
― enjoy your fleetfoxesocracy sheeple (latebloomer), Sunday, 18 March 2012 05:49 (twelve years ago) link
This and The Dark Knight Rises both coming out in 2012 will make the end of the world in December a little more bearable, I guess.
― StanM, Sunday, 18 March 2012 05:56 (twelve years ago) link
this was shot in 3d?
can i just watch it in 2d?
― A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Sunday, 18 March 2012 06:25 (twelve years ago) link
Of course. Has there been a 3D release that wasn't generally available in 2D also?
