Anchorhead said:

I'm no longer interested in this film. After seeing these extended trailers, for me it's too slick and too 2012 with regard to cinematography and pacing.

Trailers are edited separately and differently than films. Also, comparing Ridley Scott to Roland Emmerich is ridiculous.

That's some great unintentional comedy right there.

Regarding this:

it's too slick and too 2012 with regard to cinematography...

That will happen when you shoot in digital, it was never going to look like Alien.

I haven't seen a trailer for this since I last posted as I'm now actively avoiding them, apparently too much plot is being revealed, but I'm enjoying the discussion here.

Anchorhead's concerns are valid and any rationalizing of why tech 30 years before the Nostromo looks more advanced is useless for me.

It's inconsistent.

But as long as the movie is good I couldn't care less if they have flatscreens and holographic displays.

If Scott went 'retro' with this is it would be cool but it alone wouldn't make a bad movie good and vice versa.
