Ya all got ripped! The DAY it came out, I got it at Woolworths for $20.
Now, not saying where, but certain torrent sights have had it for a while [cough cough], including some fan edits with a lot of deleted scenes added in that fill a lot of the blanks that the morons at Fox took out, much to Ridley Scott's severe chagrin (and he refused to let them have the scenes to add in their cut, except some small tidbits - he will release a director cut soon).
Prometheus is somewhat of an enigma. If you expect Alien series, you will HATE it. If you go in with an open mind and actually THINK about what is being presented to you, even on a philosophical level, it will haunt you and your waking consciousness for a LONG time.
A lot of Prometheus was adapted around the Babylonian / Akkadian Annunaki myths of creation - check those out and compare, even to include dragons to protect the creators... The Annunaki "myth" predates Christianity by a LONG LONG time.
Anyway, waiting patiently for Scott's release, as the Fox cut is woeful really. I just hope the sequel eventuates as planned.
Just always remeber this when watching any of the Alien series - the xenomorph/alien is in fact PART human... we are fighting the Monsters of the Id (Shakespeare and Forbidden Planet for you!)
