It was all in 3D, looks great: loads of surfaces, screens and depth. Difference from other 3D films, the design is really cool Scott style.
All sounds very promising. If Ridley Scott (at his most
Ridley-Scottish) can do anything with a characteristic brilliance, it's the old stunning visuals;
pure cinema, if you like. If this film has one of his eyegasmic opening sequences that makes my spine tingle, I'll be able to instantly just melt into my seat and give myself up to the ride.
There's a tiny part of the most spoilerific trailer that I almost now wish I hadn't seen, but has since had me really thinking it could be a properly classic old-school horror scene, full of beautifully creepy suspense. It involves a corridor, but I'm not going any further into it now, and I'm gona try not even thinking about it until I'm sat in the theatre.
Despite everything I've said in this thread I'm still cautiously optimistic. I guess I'm just trying to keep a lid on my expectations. If the film doesn't live up to the hype, it's clear that there are some on here who will be far more disappointed than me.
Best way of approaching it, I'd say - don't go in totally cynical, 'cause you might simply ruin an enjoyable cinematic experience for yourself and others, but likewise don't expect something that's gona rock your world to its very core. If there's anything I can't stand, it's having someone next to you scoffing at every opportunity, when you're trying to lose yourself in the world on screen.
Might even be a good move to get a bit merry (or blitzed) beforehand.
