Did you check out the link? - the clips ARE pretty rough but it's a start, i guess.

Ultimately I want something that feels more at home in the Alien saga rather than the pretentious wank of "we had a better idea.."

The original script is something I thought was interesting and would have made a fun movie - before lindelof. [it's hard to blame him though, Ridley made some really stupid decisions.

I'm happy with vaguely implying certain things like the mission going to LV 426.

My biggest problem with the story is Shaw. You can't just have her survive something like that despite all odds and tell your audience that she's a strong female lead. Noomi also struggles with the script a bit and her accent varies.

She's also an absolute bitch to people.

A lot of the plot is also geared towards birthing the creature at the very end, but it amounts to nothing - a sequel will almost certainly follow Shaw and david leaving the creature absolutely alone on the planet.

I'd like more focus on weyland the company and weyland the man.

Something else that bugs me is the lack of originality, it's all been done before. People seem to love the c-section / medpod scene but something similar was already done in Alien Resurrection.

I want to show a lot more of guy pearce throughout the film, get rid of the horrible colour grading, have Vickers stay on the Prometheus at the end - she didn't deserve the ending she got, trim characters being jerks, trim holloway being upset - they've found something amazing, even if dangerous, fix a lot of goofs and errors and I want to set things up as a prequel to Alien.

i've also got a bunch of conflicting ideas that i haven't made up my mind on.
