The movie was filmed in 3D. That is how it's supposed to be seen.

I should have clarified. I do care. Prometheus is the best 3D movie I have seen to date. My point in this situation was that since Posher doesn't have a blu-ray player and is already on the fence about that, a 3D blu-ray probably means nothing to him. I was trying to emphasize that even if the 3D blu is never used the edition is still worth the money.

Oh. Well I use a PS3 it's not expensive for what you are getting.

we attended the Blu-ray release event for “Prometheus,” Ridley Scott’s return to both the sci-fi genre and the “Alien” franchise, which was met with more bemusement than amusement by audiences this summer.

Now that it’s been released into the wilds of people’s living rooms, “Prometheus” has an opportunity to take on a second life, free from the ramped-up expectations of rabid fans who wanted more chestbursting facehuggery but wound up with a strange brew of existential angst and Lovecraftian creepy crawlies.

Though there’s been talk of a sequel, the man who has more sway than Ridley Scott himself in that department is the Blu-ray’s producer Charles De Lauzirika, whose content-packed disc (including a 3+ hour doc titled “The Furious Gods”) promises that “questions will be answered.”

...

Besides some blooper footage of star Noomi Rapace fumbling with her egg-shaped space helmet, the set also includes a multitude of deleted scenes that shed light on some of the pesky questions that had some folk scratching their heads once “Prometheus” reached its open-ended conclusion. These scenes include an expanded opening in which the statuesque alien sacrifices himself by drinking the black goo, which now feels much more like a Teutonic ritual with added alien shamans. There’s also an expanded ending in which Elisabeth Shaw (Rapace) learns that her not-so-gracious hosts were piloting their croissant-shaped ship to an alien Valhalla they call Paradise.

Lauzirika shot seven terabytes of footage from the conceptual period when “Prometheus” was still “a proper ‘Alien’ prequel” prior to skewing off into “Prometheus,” through the movie’s mixed reception in theaters. For him it was a dream come true.

Watching Prometheus for the first time later this week when it comes out on PPV. Expectations are riding the highest they have for a movie in a long time, thanks in part to V.

Don't set the bar of your expectations too high, and wait to expect a prequel of sorts to Alien. Watch it as a standalone film, or as a spinoff based on the same. You will appreciate it more for what it is.

Happy viewing.

i enjoyed this movie more than i thought i would. so many people put it down so i did not have high expectations for the movie. like v said i think it was a better movie if you dont link it with the alien movie, personally i recon it should have been a stand alone movie.
