True. But I think it would have made things even more confusing than they were. Bringing in that Damon writer from LOST was such a bad idea. He made that movie such a confusing mess. Visually it was beautiful to look at, the cinematography and directing was great, but Ridley I've heard doesn't care much about scripts. And the script was awful. Like, why not have just made the planet LV-426? If they had just made it the same place where the first Alien took place, and still had that mess of a story, it still would've made 10x more sense.
it did make 400 mill worldwide

Dunno if its just da visuals, da score, or just mah inate love for anything Alien related (except dem Alien vs Predator abominations 
) but I've neva had such a conflicted opinion of a movie like I do for Prometheus.
So much of da bullshyt dat occurred in dat mufukka made absolutely zero sense and was such an insult to da audience's intelligence...but I still caint help but fux wit it.

I liked Prometheus, but I'm a sucker for mythology and universe building. I'm guessing the next movie will explore the decision to create life and, if it does well, the one after that will explore the decision to destroy it (the creation of the Aliens).
WERE THERE ISSUES WITH THIS MOVIE'S SCRIPT....DEFINITELY
BUT VISUALLY IT WAS

I wonder if this news means they shyt canned Alien 5? It got the greenlight after Neill Blomkamp (District 9, Elysium, Chappie) after he dropped that concept art.
The new pulse rifles look really dope btw
EDIT: fukk! I just read Alien 5 is on hold now.

In the Jon spaights script it was lv426. I'd like to hear lindelof's logic for changing it

Bond's gun spoke once....
Yea origonally it was to be filmed first but Ridley put an end to that when he wanted this to be first.
I put the info about the new name; the plot synopsis and the new logo on one of them on Monday:

And it has a combined 21 pages of posts in there about the sequel and the first film.

dude is a true fakkit fukkboyfukk this movie
Ripley's return was on deck, then not only did this fakkit Ridley Scott realize Prometheus was ass, he went ahead and cock-blocked the real Alien 5, then force fukked the title into his bullshyt sequel. If Prometheus was worth a damn, he'd let Pro-2 ride out, and but he had to jump for the Alien title.
Again, fukk this movie

Precise and cold hearted
I think most people just thought it was underwhelming and had some major issues with the script and lack of good Characters.

shyt! Damn I was stoked. I'm guessing Alien 5 won't happen. Did any plot info come out? I mean the official canon after that awful Colonial Marines game has Hicks alive, but I don't know about Newt or Ripley. Clearly Ripley and Hicks were the main characters of Alien 5, but no way it was a sequel right after the events, right? The actors are almost 30 years older, so Alien 5 would have had to be later on. Did a script or anything ever leak. I thought the concept art was great.
