wasn't there a big hologram with the old dude in Prometheus?

Somehow I read this thread initially without ever watching the trailer. I would assume this is the (soon to be) failed mission that alerts the weyland-yutani group to the existence of the Aliens? you mean the xenomorphs?
Wonder if we will see the Engineers ever again.
In Alien, we first see the ship Nostromo from afar, but what is the actual ship is only a tiny part of what we see. The biggest portion was the refinery they were towing. The Nostromo dis-engages from the refinery to set down on the planet where John Hurt brings back their new best friend. In this one it could be a similar set-up with a towboat, essentially, hauling the cryo ship to this new planet. Guess we'll find out in May ...TCTTS said:
Just went back and checked and there are definitely two ships; the bigger, massive one floating through space and then approaching the planet, but then a group definitely takes a different, smaller ship to the surface. So the theory holds water...
Pretty sure that facehugger is what was removed from the chicks gut during the c-section.Quote:
Where did the facehuger come from that attached itself to the Engineer close to the end and then spawned that first xenomorph in the final scene?
Chestbusters. That scene in Alien.....TCTTS said:
Ok, so David DID essentially create the facehugger. He took that black goo, experimented with it, put it in Shaw's boyfriend's drink, Shaw and her boyfriend had sex, then she c-sectioned the facehugger out in that super tense/gross scene. Forgot about that. Yeah, then David is definitely the mastermind here.
I hate to admit it, but this is all kind of making me appreciate Prometheus a bit more. But only a bit.
(And I'm right there with you on those facehuggers. They creep me out more than just about anything.)
I think that's right, and it was more that I find them more creepy than the facehuggers.TCTTS said:
Chestbusters are just baby xenomorphs, right? What are you saying?
A line from Prometheus comes to mind, and I can't remember who said it, that the place they found in the movie was like a weapons depot or a military lab. I can buy that if they were departing from that planet to wipe out Earth with the goo.AgMarauder04 said:
I recently read a plot recap to get caught up and that's my interpretation.
