It certainly looks great - but outside of Kingdom of Heaven (the director's cut, I feel I have to add) I haven't really enjoyed a Ridley Scott film in some time.

That's cos he's over-rated.

A collection of HD stills: http://www.crazycritics.com/page/prometheus-movie-trailer-stills.

Right, some comments now that I've watched the trailer closely: there are "urn-shaped" containers that look somewhat like alien eggs (7th and 8th stills down), and then there's what looks like a "proto-face-hugger" (9th still)...so I wonder I Scott's fibbing and we will see some sort of early alien "model" or "proto-alien".

Also, we see the organic-looking Space Jockey corridor again. I always assumed that the aliens coated the ship with secretions - as they did in Aliens - so maybe that points to there being some sort of alien in the film. Then again, the Space Jockey in Alien does seem to be organically connected to his cockpit...

He did say no Xenomorphs not no Aliens.

How frikkin good is that trailer? Answer: very frikkin good!

Ridley Scott's been wasting his talents avoiding Sci-Fi for so long. Welcome back.

Yes. Just....YES.

I think this film's biggest reveal is going to be that Alien (1979) is just a small side story.

I reckon humans and aliens are derived from the Space Jockeys.

Yeah I reckon that could be Fassbender transformed into a Space Jockey.

In the original draft I read (when it was still officially an Alien prequel) Space Jockey DNA was indeed used to create Aliens. There was no indication that the Space Jockeys had anything to do with humans - they were very interested in studying the human characters' behavior - but that could have changed by now.

I'll be the dick and say I liked the mobile phone recording trailer without all the finished effects better.

Still looks smart though.

That's exactly what I thought.

Does that mean you'll prefer the film the same way, a ropey bootleg on a phone?

Prometheus versus Star Trek anyone?
Ridley did say it was going to be epic....
