There's only one movie I'm really interested in and I've honesty watched the trailer (trailer #2) about 20 times and that's not including trailer breakdowns and reaction video's and that's
ALIEN COVENANT
Total opposite for me! Prometheus is probably one of the best sci-fi movies ever made IMHO! I actually watched it again the other night it 3D and saw some stuff I missed previously which was awesome! There is a hell of a lot going on in that movie that just isn't in yer face so to speak.See... It's hard for me to get excited for Alien Covenant because Prometheus had an amazing trailer- one that I probably watched about 40 times before seeing the film.
And the film was a big pile of doodoo. That- and Ridley Scott just... hasn't been on point for the past... 9 years...?
I don't know- I'll see it- but probably because of for how much I've invested in this franchise already.
LIFE is shaping up to be a perfectly fine remake of the original Alien movie, though...

The Engineers the black goo, just mind blowing stuff and I think a lot of it just went over most people's heads! Plus it's the set up for Covenant! David is crucial to the story and the development of the Xenomorphs!
Yeah David plays a major part in Alien Covenant he's been a naughty boy on planet Paradise! And yeah there is another artificial person called Walter who is part of the Covenant crew and is the same model as David only slightly more advanced. Prometheus was only the first in a trilogy of films building up to the prequel of Alien so of course it will be far removed from the original i dont think many people understood that so perhaps it will make more sense after viewing Covenant.From what I understand, David isn't going to be in Alien Covenant, Michael Fassbender is simply playing a different model of Android created by the Weyland (is it also Yutani at this point?) Corporation.
I.... I hated Prometheus. Which is sad to say- I went in all excited with my Nostromo Patch Jacket and just found.... nothing.
Empty dialogue. Misplaced character traits. Illogical actions. An uneventful third act reveal. A complete irrelevance to the franchise. Some stiff acting from some of the cast. A very dry- machine like efficiency to the construction of the film. Forgettable characters. Everything about Prometheus to me screamed "Modern Day Sci-Fi Horror Film", but not in the "Pandorum" more like in the "Passengers" sense. I felt that Prometheus betrayed the building blocks that were essential to the original Alien film's success, and that felt unforgivable...
So- I guess- it's like one of those times where, when I say I'm a Star Wars fan, I have to clarify that I like 3 of the 8 films.
Likewise, I'm an Alien fan, but I only like 2 of 7 films.

Well, your problem is this: you were told Prometheus was not an Alien film, and not to go into it expecting an Alien film. But you went ahead and went in expecting an Alien film, only to be let down that it wasn't an Alien film.From what I understand, David isn't going to be in Alien Covenant, Michael Fassbender is simply playing a different model of Android created by the Weyland (is it also Yutani at this point?)

Yes I think a lot of people did that and as a result totally missed the point of what R.S. was trying to do!Well, your problem is this: you were told Prometheus was not an Alien film, and not to go into it expecting an Alien film.

That is on you.
PROMETHEUSYes I think a lot of people did that and as a result totally missed the point of what R.S. was trying to do!

Ridley Scott: This is not an Alien Movie.
Fanboys: Oooh! I can't wait to see the Alien!
