If I had to choose, I would pick Alien as a preparation. You nerds know what I mean, don't you?

My personal favourite film of the series was 'Aliens'. I wish they had made another action film like that one.

Unbelievable!

It's on at my local cinema but it's in sodding 3D! Why does this film need to be in 3D?!

Well, that's me not seeing it at a cinema.

biggrin I don't do those things Letterboy, I'm a good boy! biggrin

And we have the choice to chose between seeing it in 3D or normal view.
I don't like 3D so it will be the old facion way for me!

My best regards, Kodiak.

There's no doubt Prometheus will be a lot more like Alien than Aliens in style and pacing. Anyway, I'll be seeing it next Friday.

They did. It's called Alien Resurrection. It just wasn't nearly as good as Aliens.

Actually, this is one of the few films I do want to see in an IMAX theater. The time I saw the trailer in one, it looked great.

Just close one eye, simple fix!

Anyway, I watched the whole set on BD just last year, it's fresh in my mind, so I won't bother. Normally, however, I do those things...watch a film at home before I watch the sequel/prequel in the theater.

Didn't watch Alien to get in the spirit of things,I watched it just a few months ago and have seen it so many times that I was already prepared.
I've just got back from seeing Prometheus in 2D, great film, it's lived up to my expectations, can't wait to add it to my collection!
Might go back with the wife to try it in 3D.

No, the thing I chopped off had a nose.

The son has been miss-behaving so we have both been grounded from going to see this in the cinema Grrrrrrrrrrrrr breathe GGrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....
the trailer was just on tv here and it was explained to him why he is not going, and still he picks fights with everyone just minutes later
Sigh!

I can't even sneak away on my own frown
