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.

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.

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?

Re:3-D, while it's the last thing I want to see, 1) This is the first Ridley Scott joint in 3-D, and the man knows how to make a movie, 2) It's actually shot in 3-D, rather than retrofitted and 3) Scott is one of those rare directors so thrilled with the 3-D results that he's sworn (ha) never to make another 2-D movie.
Of course, the question should be, have you ever seen a 2-D version of a recent 3-D movie and wished it was in 3-D? I would answer no, and I've seen a bunch of them "flat," from Captain American and Harry Potter to recent Pixars. Not a one had me leaving the theatre wishing things were jumping at my face. A few that I saw in 3-D - Up, TS3, Hugo - might as well have been in 2-D, bar a scene or two. So who knows what Ridley has up his sleeves.

And then there's Avatar, which I could not have at through were it not in 3-D, which is its own sort of novelty category.
Yeah wow this is badass. Amazing trailer. Had no idea Charlize Theron was in this.
3D, who cares. I've never really had an unpleasant 3D experience with RealD, the worst that happened was that bits didn't look 3D enough. Which, hey, puts you back in the same spot you were already in.

trailer's neat, space jockey starts to chest burst @ 2:11. also looks like the aliens came from humans infected with a virus, which is an interesting wrinkle if that's where they went with it.
unfortunately it seems like the grubby "used future" set design got lost somewhere, this looks like it takes place 3000 years *after* the first alien.

Our people are dying, Burke. We must do something to stop the Aliens!Hold on a second. This installation has a substantial dollar value attached to it.

Does ALIEN have the greatest cast ever?
I'll watch anything with either John Hurt or Ian Holm to this day, and Alien had both. Kinda the opposite of my reaction to Nick Cage or Sandra Bullock in the credits (which would make Welcome to Hollywood (2000) the worst cast ever, I suppose).

heh this happened with the star wars prequels too
what happened was that 30 yrs passed between the first one and the prequel in real time and people invented computers :(
― flagp∞st (dayo), Sunday, 18 March 2012 17:08 (twelve years ago) link
they still could have made a grubby looking movie for a lot of money with all those computahs

You know, I hadn't really considered it, but yeah, his last 20 years have been erratic as fuck. But then, half of his films in that span seemingly also star Russell Crowe (I forgot that Robin Hood movie existed!) so who knows.

― Bo Jackson Overdrive, Sunday, 18 March 2012 18:19 (twelve years ago) link
This is a prequel, right? So the stuff had to be used first before it could acquire its 'used' look.
― ledge, Sunday, 18 March 2012 18:27 (twelve years ago) link
Plus, space work crews aren't going to need set fancy gadgets, just durable shit that works consistently! Alien still had a voice controlled computer and androids.
― mh, Sunday, 18 March 2012 18:31 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, but come on - the stuff in the preview doesn't just look fresh out of the box, it looks all slick and glowy and colorful...it's not just that Alien felt used, it also felt utilitarian. Yeah, okay, they were truckers, but even the space suits in this look a lot more stylized, not to mention their...light grenade? hologram flinging? whatever? thing. I'm still stoked about it but there's a weird mismatch in the look and feel, makes it seem like more a generic 21st century sci-fi movie. Pandorum or something.
