- Why is he starring in this?qoob
- Why wouldn't he be?Ianbolton
- Good point, NMqoob
- They need to try to fill the Bill Paxton slot.teh
- a good agent helps, besides comedians often come up as most dramatic when the part is right. i guess we'll just see.********
- Prob is he seems to be playing a typical McBride character... sarcastic, slightly 'smart' yet full of shit... kinda killed the trailer / excitement for me too.PonyBoy
- All this guy does is reel it in or dish it out. It's too late for him to show range, IMHO.cannonball1978

With all the Alien Hype I'd recommend playing "Alien Isolation" if you haven't tried it already (it came out in 2014).
Unlike all other alien games its mainly inspired of the first movie, so the design retro and chuky. You can't kill the alien, only hide from it, distract it to go somewhere else or at the most scare it off for a little while. Generally if it sees you, you are dead. Its very tense experience. You can get it for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, Linux and Mac.

- It looks good, but stressful. Not my kind of game.CygnusZero4
- I'll get this when I eventually jump on the VR wagon, then likely never ever use VR again..detritus
- Its possible to mod it so the alien ignores you if you just want to stroll through and look at the design: http://www.moddb.com…Nutter
- ^ ooh, this may well be the only way I can play this. My 16yo niece loves this game but I get the absolute fucking fear within the first 10 minutes.face_melter
- Is there something similar for the Working Joes? I seem to remember they fuck you up as well - or only when provoked?face_melter
- Face_melter: yep this one makes should make everthing non hostile: http://www.moddb.com…Nutter

I'm still on the fence with this one. I am enjoying the trailers and teasers but I loved the trailers for Prrometheus and the levels of disappointment for that film were at Crystal Skull heights.
As a wise man once said:
- You mean Temple of Doom |v|9000teh
- lol at Crystal Skull. So true.detritus
- Hey, where's my credit? :)

I hope this brings back more of the tension of the original movies. Prometheus was a decent sci-fi movie, some cool visuals, but the writing could have been better, and even the directing.
There was that scene where they bring the engineers head back to examine. Seems like a pretty fucking profound thing to be doing right? Well the main character who found the damn place, that younger guy who ends up getting infected, was just sitting on a table in the lab room drinking a bottle of wine and had no interest at all in that head. WTF? Terrible directing. He should have been so excited at that moment.
There was a LOT of that in Prometheus. Characters not having a proper reaction to really incredible or scary things, like theyve seen it all many times before. I hope thats fixed in this.

- only non-cringe Sci-fi for years was Arrival (and that had some close moments) - script by committee unfort (led by non-creatives).fadein11
- There was a reason he wasn't excited. And you either didn't understand why or completely missed the scene why he explained it.severian
- cheap tom hardy was drunk on champagne, swimming in anything and everything. i guess heavy drinking normally dulls the excitement for a thoughtful scientist.********
- lol they are on a foreign planet testing an alien head for the first time in human history. and hes drunk and doesnt care?? come onCygnusZero4
- that shit would sober me up real quick. the thing explodes and he leaves like nothing happenedCygnusZero4

- I read a few reviews...most seem to be saying it's not bad but not great either.yuekit
- why would anyone care what someone else's opinion is about a movie?moldero
- From my perspective, I'm gladdened to hear it's not shite out of the gate.detritus
- I care about opinions on movies, and opinions on caring about those opinions.
I should think for myself.MrT
