It is a one of a kind movie though. You don't really find campaign/politics movies like this. Only good one I can think of is the docu Street Fight about the Newark mayor Cory Booker

If that's why it is underrated, then I have no faith in humanity.

Mine has been gone for a long time homey. Especially since Robert Sapolsky told me that humans are chimps with longer brain gestation

Watched the latest Prometheus trailer, and now have no desire to see it. Retard advertisers just gave away the plot, the climax, and the resolution

I guess I shouldn't watch it then? But then again, I feel like I'd want to see the movie if I watch it or not. The movie is pretty much Aliens + 2001 A Space Odyssey + Event Horizon. How can you not want to see this?

Oh I'm still gonna see it (I tend to exaggerate), but I never pass up an opportunity to hate on the morons in Hollywood.
The trailer gives away several plot points that may or may not be among the most important. One way of putting it is that the trailer creates its own narrative then provides the climax and partial resolution for that narrative. As to how close to the actual movie it is, I don't know. But either way, it's stupid

I am jealous.
I need to see this, but I'm pretty sure I will have to offer to buy a ticket for my friend to get someone to go with me. I'm tempted to just go to the movies on my own for the first time in my life. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

You're right! And I while the lights are still on, I can put my jacket in the seat next to me, so everyone will just think my friend is taking a piss or getting popcorn!

mmmm *drool* imaginary women...
...where were we? Oh, yes, movie theaters. Watching a movie on the big screen fucking owns. Well, for some movies it doesn't much matter, but for something like The Avengers, or Prometheus, it would be a shame to miss your chance to see it on the big screen. Also, the fact that you have to wait months to see it on DVD(*ahem*rips*ahem*) makes the theater even more attractive.

The prometheus trailer has inspired me to watch the alien trilogy again. Watched the others as a kid so lookin forward to it now.
Avengers looks awful but reviews seem ok and my low expectations will help.
Took a look at melancholia, that Shit just looks depressing as hell.
Looking forward to Batman, but the lack of heath ledger just makes me sad. No new Batman movie Wii be able to compare.

Avengers was good. Obviously stay and watch the movie until after its credits.

oh shit, maybe I'm an idiot, but I had no clue that this was an Alien prequel. I mean, I knew it was RS, and obviously the world looks very similar, but I just chalked that up to being his style.
I'm even more excited for this now.

During production, Ridley Scott and Damon Lindelof kept the use of computer-generated imagery as low as possible, using CGI mainly in space scenes; Scott recalled advice VFXpert Douglas Trumbull gave him on the set of Blade Runner: "If you can do it live, do it live", and also claimed that practical VFX was more cost-effective than digital VFX.

I think the word is that it's not so much a prequel as it's in the same universe and before Alien.
Fans talk a lot about Space Jockey. Not sure what that is, but it was something from Alien, and perhaps the lore has to do with Space Jockey being a different race that discovered the aliens first or something. Prometheus might be about that

Oh that's excellent
Aliens still looks better than any heavy CGI action films around today. Just contrast the two different Star Wars trilogies. The non-CGI ones look real-ish and unique; the CGI ones look generic, cartoonish, and lame

Prometheus Trailer #2 - IGN Rewind Theater Video - IGN
This convinced me it was a prequal of sorts. Maybe not a direct prequal but certainly set in the same world and prior to Alien.

ya, from the IMDB page, it says that orginally it was mean to be a direct prequel, then during casting they decided to make it an original piece, and then changed their mind one last time-- it's an "indirect prequel" so like wuf and rong said, it's in the same universe and prior to Alien, but not directly related to it, and there won't xenomorphs.

The Avengers was a really good, funny movie. Hulk was phenomenal even with the different actor, more of the same great things from Ironman, Captain America even felt pretty good in this one compared to his movie. Overall a great film
