I have not seen it yet. But everything I have heard is that you do not need to see Alien first; although it would be a bonus to have seen it to fully appreciate the Prometheus ending. But much of Prometheus's disappointment seems to be stemming from people saying it is nothing at all like Alien and has very little connection to it (despite Scott already warning us about that for years). As for Aliens, that was an entirely different movie than Alien, so that is irrelevant.
Dude, I think you are over-thinking the story. If there is anything I learned from Lindelof's writing from Lost, is that his story does not go as deep as you might think. And as yeahright said, the face was likely of the engineer/space jockey race.
I agree. A key character such as Weyland would have felt more genuine with an actual senior actor. It seems like they already had wanted Pearce to be in the cast but did not know what to do with him.
The movie certainly did not have enough R-rated material. There were no fuck scenes. There was no harsh language. The only reason it was rated R was the graphic med pod alien-ectomy scene, which was only put in to match the spaghetti dinner scene from Alien.
True. But then again I never meant that. I meant that the movie did not have enough R rated material . . . to warrant the R rating that it got, which is not Scott's fault. Although if the story was able to incorporate sex into the movie in such a way that it helped develop the characters then I would not have objected. A couple of the characters were underdeveloped, especially Vickers, and could have used some more time in the script.
