“Prometheus has landed!”

In a future world, on the Isle of Skye, Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and her lover Charlie Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green); have uncovered the final piece of evidence that proves millions of years ago, Earth was visited by another race, this race left an invitation inviting the human race to come and visit. Two years later on the space craft Prometheus Shaw, and Holloway are joined by fifteen others who awake from hyper sleep at their destination, a distant planet known only as LV277. Among their fellow passengers is Meredith Vickers (Charlize Theron) a hard nosed business woman, who unofficially controls the expedition, and David (Michael Fassbender) an ultra efficient, ultra expensive human looking android, the creation of Peter Weyland (Guy Pearce). Their combined mission, to seek out the mysteries of our origins, and to finally prove we are not alone, what they find was well beyond their expectations.

“If we don’t stop it, we won’t have a home to go back too!”

Prometheus is a magnificently crafted thing of beauty, it shines, it has the ultimate glint of panache, it moves, it literally lives! But what it does not do, is answer all the questions; a thing of annoyance to many. Prometheus is not the finely tuned beast that Alien was, but here is the point, it is not the same thing that Alien was. If you go into Prometheus in search of Face-Huggers, and Chest-Busters, you’re going to be sorely disappointed, despite what you think you might have seen in the many trailers.

Performance wise, all the cast do exceptionally well, despite the obvious and clear lack of development of many of the characters. This is not the close knit group that we saw in Alien, in fact we have double the amount of characters to contend with, so obviously some get less developed. Michael Fassbender, everyone’s must have actor of the moment, ultimately steals the show as the android with an agenda, but a creature who wants so very much to be like us.

Like any good movie of this type, a body count is pivotal to the movie, and like Ridley’s aforementioned Alien, the order in which they fall is a little unexpected.

Two days after Prometheus’ first reviews hit the public eye, and the balance is mixed; many feeling disappointed by the betrayal. But Ridley has been very clear from the offset, this is not Alien, despite the many similarities, this clearly is a very different beast indeed, and truth be told despite what you think you may be seeing in trailers, the only real link comes in the final seconds, and those that think Prometheus ends where Alien starts, may want to revisit Alien to see just how wrong they are. The planet in which Prometheus is set, is not the same planet we see in Alien, so maybe another chapter will give that some clearance.

The 3D effect is a let down, after a promising start, as the movie proceeds you forget all about the 3D, as the action really kicks off 3D is all just a distant memory.

“A King has his reign, then he dies. It’s inevitable!’

Prometheus is an incredibly good movie, it’s a brand new twist on an old tale, but more than anything else its an evolution piece, the evolution of us, the evolution of the engineers, the evolution of LV277’s newish inhabitants, and finally the evolution of the “alien”, it’s roots so to speak.

As you exit Prometheus you really do understand that this movie was made to become a franchise, the reason so many questions are left unanswered is so that in years to come, a new chapter can open up some of the mysteries, Prometheus may not be as appreciated as it should be right now, but in years to come as the franchise builds maybe like its predecessor it will become known as a masterpiece.

Not that it was really needed, but as a testament to the love of the movie (before it was seen) outside off Leicester Square’s blue carpet, the largest fan audience of all time gathered for a glimpse of the stars that populate the film, watch out Harry Potter, there is a new audience puller in town.

These objects are believed to fall from the sky, but can not be predicted whether it comes from a rocket or missile. A number of parties actually called it a part of the UFO that crashed to earth.

“This thing is not related to space technology. Final conclusion will be made ​​after in-depth study by experts,” the Russian Space Agency, Roscosmos, as reported by the Daily Mail, Thursday (03/22/2012).

These mysterious objects have been moved and is currently in the custody of local authorities, given that so many people who want to see directly.

Local authorities have denied that the foreign object is part of a rocket or space satellite launched by Kazakhstan. They also stated that the inspection found no radiation levels around or on the object.

It also said the video is owned by NASA, and especially the Heliospheric Observations of the Sun (Soho). It appears that the UFO-like object is large enough, which is about 100 thousand km in length, which is estimated at the planet Saturn. The object also appeared to have a mechanical arm.

Strangely, the day after the video was uploaded to YouTube, NASA suddenly shut down Soho’s video channel. The reason is, because there are technical problems. This instantly makes surprise internet users who starts crowded thrash out the video.

Penggunggah the video is even mentioned, that NASA’s actions are an attempt to cover up the discovery of aliens in outer space. Similarly, as reported by The Korea Herald, Tuesday (15/05/2012).

A number of internet users debating the video is considered evidence of the existence of aliens in outer space. But some are not believed, by stating that there can be no objects that can stand near the solar surface with a temperature 6 thousand degrees Celsius.

But there is also a defense that the UFO has an advanced technology that could prevent their aircraft fire while flying near the sun. “They may be, far more advanced than us, because if they are aliens, they have been traveling (so far) to come here,” said one internet user.

Nevertheless, scientists are responding to the debate with ease. According to them, the object is not a UFO, but rather a collection of lines caused by the effect of solar cosmic rays.

“The lines in question are the effects of energetic particles (protons) are consistent on the CCD, something that is evident in every picture,” said scientists from the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, Nathan Rich.

10: Starchild Skull

This skull was apparently found in Mexico around 1930 but only showed to the public by Lord Pye in 1999. It was claimed to either be the skull of an alien infant or an alien-human hybrid. Although the damaged lower skull was child-like, the upper cranium was huge, being 1600mL, over 400mL larger than would be expected based on the lower skull. Pye claimed that radiocarbon dating had proved it was 900 years old and that anonymous scientists had confirmed it to be the skull of an alien. However, independent DNA testing revealed the skull to be Native American, belonging to a child who probably had hydrocephalus, or ‘water-in-the-brain’, a congenital disorder where there is too much fluid in the skull. Sufferers of this condition can develop abnormally large craniums, although modern medicine can now relieve the fluid pressure with cerebral shunts to drain the excess liquid.

9: Calveras Skull

This skull was found by miners in Calaveras, USA, in 1866. It was used by Josiah Whitney as proof that humans had lived in the Americas as long ago as the Pliocene age, over two million years ago. It looked quite modern, and was referenced by many creationists as proof that humans had not changed or evolved through time. Chemical tests showed that it was much more recent, and the story of its discovery did not match with the condition of the skull itself, yet Whitney remained adamant that it was genuine. It was so widely believed to be a hoax that many people came forward and claimed that they themselves had planted it as a practical joke. In 1992, radiocarbon dating conclusively showed it to be only about 1000 years old.

8: Phrenology

Phrenology was a European pseudoscience that was in vogue during the nineteenth century. Doctors had observed that people whose brains were slightly more developed, and therefore bulged, in certain regions had corresponding mental faculties. For example, people with lesions (gaps) in the speech area of their brains are often unable to speak. This lead to the idea that by measuring the slight bumps and bulges of the skull they could determine the shape of the brain and infer data about someone’s mental abilities. Many people used it to show that they were intrinsically superior to others. It was even used as fortune-telling for children to see how they would fare as adults. Unfortunately, the shape of the brain does not even closely correspond to the shape of the skull, and moreover, the areas of the brain said to carry traits such as ‘conscientiousness’ and ‘suavity’ have since been shown to be incorrect. However, phrenology did increase interest in neuroscience and indirectly led to much more scientifically sound knowledge.

7: Piltdown Man

In 1912 in Piltdown, England, Charles Dawson discovered a strange skull that had a curious mixture of human and ape features. He claimed it was the ‘missing link’ between humans and apes. This skull had the upper face and tall cranium of a human, but the long, sloping jaw of an ape. The skull was in fact a human cranium coupled with an orangutan mandible and filed-down chimpanzee teeth, all stained to appear more ancient. As more and more human ancestor skeletons were found, Piltdown man began to look more and more out of place. In 1953, scientists conclusively showed it to be a farce. Piltdown man inspired huge paleontological debates about how humans evolved and it remains one of the most famous hoax skulls.

6: Batavus Genuinus

In 1828, a strange skull from the island of Marken in the Netherlands was found. Although it was dated as modern, it differed from other human skulls with its sloped forehead. Hypotheses to explain this abounded, most prominently that the islanders were in fact not homo sapiens but a more ancient hominid which had evolved in isolation, dubbed ‘batavus genuinus.’ Anthropologists noted that the islanders did indeed have sloped foreheads, and some claimed that they were the modern descendants of Neanderthals. In 1912, a Dutch physician finally showed that the traditional tight headwear worn by Marken children was what caused the foreheads to develop with a slope. Marken children brought up off the island do not have sloped foreheads, and the Marken people are quite able to have healthy children with other humans, showing that they are indeed homo sapiens.

5: Trepanning

Trepanning was a practice done since at least eight thousand years ago. It involved drilling a hole in the skull as a treatment for many head-related disorders, such as headaches, seizures, and mental disabilities. Many skulls with trepanned holes have been found. Trepanning did not always result in death, as many of these skulls show some degree of healing which would have occurred over several weeks or months after the procedure. Even so, there would have been many deaths due to infection. Today trepanning is still used as pseudoscience by various people purporting that it releases evil spirits or energy, that it improves health, cures depression, and various other unsubstantiated claims.

This should not be confused with a common modern procedure, craniotomy. Craniotomies involve a surgically made hole in the skull, often to drain excess cerebro-spinal fluid to decrease pressure on the brain in the case of extreme head injuries, but there are no other similarities. The purpose for the hole differs, the way it is made differs, and the way it is used differs. There are websites which claim that trapanning can cure epilepsy and they contain information purposely muddled with craniotomies to make it seem legitimate. Caveat lector.

4: Giant skull

The military is said to have secured a large area and forbidden anyone entry except government personnel. The site was kept in complete secrecy until a helicopter secured photographs as it flew overhead. The photos show workers uncovering a skull of phenomenal size, and gradually revealing the rest of the giant skeleton. The skeleton became famous in email forwards that gave some variation of the above story, but in fact, the photographs were created through manipulation by combining various real but unrelated pictures. Other giant skulls have been put forward, but all have been either falsified, mysteriously misplaced, refused examination, or have actually been Neanderthal skulls, which are slightly larger than human skulls.

3: Elongated Skulls

A huge number of skulls with long or deformed craniums have been found around the world, with some groups advertising them as authentic alien skulls. Infant skulls are relatively soft and pliable, and there have been many peoples who would traditionally deform them by tightly binding the heads of their babies for several months, similar to the Marken people. Skulls deformed in this way predate written history, and every skull examined with DNA tests has been shown to either be that of a modern human or a Neanderthal. More recently, various Germanic, American, and native Australian people have practiced skull deformation, and is still done in a small number of places today. It is thought to be done for aesthetic reasons or to show social status, and if done correctly, does not cause brain damage.

2: Horned Skulls

There are many claims of horned human skulls being found; however, very few have ever been physically presented for independent inspection. Although peculiar human skin tumors can appear to be horns, they are not part of the skeleton and are more similar to fingernails than true horns. The horned skull stories probably began when a large number were reported to have been found in Pennsylvania that suspiciously vanished before they could be studied by experts. Some stories even claim that they had two rows of teeth or demonic powers. Although some versions insist that experts have verified horned skulls to be genuine, the cited experts either do not exist or deny the verifications they are claimed to have made. Similar to horned skulls are crested skulls, which are quite real and belonged to paranthropus, a genus of hominids with huge jaws for chewing seeds and roots. Their powerful jaw muscles were attached to the skull crest, much like in modern male gorillas.

1: Crystal Skulls

According to legend, these skulls have been circulating among collectors and museums since the late nineteenth century. They were crafted over 3000 years ago by the Mayans or Aztecs with the help of aliens, and were the center of strange mysticisms. Touching one would heal you and give great power. There were 13 in total, although we still have not recovered them all. If you bring all 13 together you would have the power of a god. Unfortunately, all of the skulls examined thus far were made in Europe, have been dated to be less than two centuries old, most being far younger, and there are no Mayan or Aztec legends pertaining to them except those which were written based on what had been said after the skulls were found rather than on actual archaeological evidence. Although beautifully made, these skulls and their associated legends are nothing more than an elaborate hoax. It is still a mystery whether they were all made by one person, if one was made first and inspired others, or if they were originally intended to be passed off as real at all.

Ridley Scott’s latest directorial production looks like it’s going to be the most visually stimulating and involving yet. Although, interestingly what was once pinned as an ‘Alien’ prequel looks set to take a different direction. Apparantly set in the same universe as Alien, it claims to establish it’s own mythology and event line.

And establish it, it certainly does. If you haven’t already seen the teaser releases from the studio including guy pearce giving a thought provoking speech at ‘TED 2023′ and an artificial human ‘David 8′, here are some links:

The film itself appears to be a more action orientated affair and stars actors Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Noomi Rapace and Guy Pearce. Individually with their own accolades the most interesting choice as far as I’m concerned would be Noomi Rapace better known as the star of the Stieg Larsson trilogy in the original swedish series of films. Looks to be an interetsing performance indeed.

Here’s the official trailer:

Looks pretty fucking exciting frankly. Expect it June 6th.

Simon Parkes, a politician at Whitby Town said that although he has met with hundreds of aliens, it will not interfere with its mission to help people.

Speaking on YouTube, Coun Parkes said he first saw the alien at the age of eight months, as “the face of traditional kite-shaped”, with large eyes, small nose and thin mouth that appeared on his bed.

Living creatures saying, “Two sticks of green will appear. I know some movement on my head. I thought,” it’s not the hand mama, mama pink hands. “

He added: “I saw his face straight. He entered my mind through the eye and it sends a message to the optic nerve to my brain.”

“He said ‘I am your real mother, my mother is more important than today.”

He said after contracting chicken pox at the age of three, his mother went to work and leave it at home alone. When it came the “doctor” with a height of 8 feet clad nurses offer help.

A politician from the Labour Party has shocked his colleagues when he declared that the ‘mother’ is a 9-foot green alien with eight fingers.

When 11-year-old, he admitted he had been admitted to a plane by a “mother” was alien, and made ​​a deal with aliens who are above the plane.

He said, “The reason aliens are not interested in me because of my physical body, but because of what is inside of me. My soul.”

Coun Parkes said that he believes that alien beings are “not coming” when he was campaigning recently.

“For many people who do not experience it, it’s very difficult to accept. We were taught to believe only in what is seen and can be touched, but it is still acceptable in religious belief,” he said. (Erabaru / The Northern Echonews / husband)

In theory, life could have emergedon Mars or Jupiter’s moon, Europa, where they seem to havean underground ocean.

“This is consistent with human exploration of the solar system, these intelligent creatures could have evolved in the sea of ​​Europa,” said astronomer Jacob Haqq-Misra of Pennsylvania State University.

Alternatively, Haqq-Misra said that intelligent extrater restrial creatures traveled from distant star systems and live in the solar system.

“They may live in a secret base on Mars or the moon or theasteroid belt,” he continued.

Given this scenario, what would happen if an alien race is discovered? Today many reports appear to report sightings of flying saucers that continue to invade the human psychology. Of astronomers to anthropologists UFO watchers have their screenplay.

Voyage of discovery

According to a senior astronomer at the SETI Institute Seth Shosta in Mountain View, California, contact the most likely scenario isthat an alien race which was found to be very primitive.

This assumption is based on reality, the universe can be explored not show signs of advanced creature shide. Furthermore, given the difficulty of space exploration, it is estimated, the explorers there will be far more advanced than the creatures were found.

This facilitates the manufacture of theprotocol for the first meeting, if time landing on Mars or Europa is found alien from trilobites, “The thing to do as did Darwin, collect samples and bring it to Earth,” says Shostak.

Seven steps

Shostak said the size of the universe and nature makes it difficult to face the scarcity of living creatures are made of two competing intelligence. Author Robert Freitas alien contact scenario describing the U.S. military (U.S.) in 1950 developed a seven-step procedure by first logical steps.

According to these steps, people will begin to perform remote monitoring and data collection, and then finally transferred to a secret visit with the aim of measuring the performance characteristics of alien vehicles and weaponry. If all goes well, man made a brief visit, securing specimens of plants,animals, and intelligent creatures.

Furthermore, people will introduce themselves and show the existence of non-hazardous waste. Finally, if all goes well, there’s no reason both races this contact lead to disaster.

“Say a future mission to Europa reveal irrefutable evidence of intelligent beings or civilization,” Haqq-Misra said.

Exploration continues and eventually humans will make contact, he added.

“However, the ‘precautionary principle’ to delay human exploration to confirm the robotic exploration of Europa harmless people,” he said.

Alien colonize

On the other hand, there is a second scenario in which Haqq-Misra alien race twice more intelligent than humans. Just like an ant who can not understand human behavior, humans can not possibly understand how this racewould react in humans.

“(Astronomer) Carl Sagan thought, aliens could travel between the stars and they do itfor the aggression and war and so on,” said Shostak.

According to him, aggression evolved as the nature of the inhabitants of the earth because it helps people findand protect the resource. Although an alien may be growing in totally different conditions, thepressure to secure the limited resources likely will shape their behavior as well.

“I guess, would be limited resources anywhere in the universe,” he said.

If Sagan is correct, then the people who met a wise man will treat with great consideration and respect, while they will use technology to ensure humans treat it the same way.

In the video, an unidentified passenger record the view from the airplane window. Suddenly he was surprised when something that looks like a white disc is recorded.

Furthermore, the video shows magnified images of UFOs. Actually, the picture looks more like a cap rather than an ivory circular disk technology. Is this just the result of bad special effects and cheap trick instead of a space object is captured in the film?

The same author who Speculate origin of this object also wrote about another video taken from NASA footage. In the video, it appears the three objects in a triangular formation appeared on the screen for five minutes. Someone from NASA later said that the object is a kind of tin, aka space junk, and shadows give the appearance of such objects in a triangular formation of three.

they started off on a peaceful voyage to find the beginning of man but landed on the alien threat instead

What lies in store for us in this 5Th (Excluding the predator and Avp series) alien movie, we don’t get to see the aliens just people maybe burnt by acid in space suits. The movie will be released in cinemas so I’m sure all you horror film fans are on the edge of your seats waiting for this movie.

The editing on the trailer i would give 7/10 for the sound that is like screaming and bringing back the old slowly forming letters from other alien movies.

Suspense and action i would give 6/10 because there aren’t any aliens (I’m just wanting to see some more action in the trailer)

And then the overall score i would give 8.5/10 as i really cant wait for this film

  Coincidence or not, shortly after launch in China of a movie that was about watching a UFO traveling at a speed estimated at 35,000 km. Time, Chinese scientists announced the discovery of ancient engravings, with a length of at least three millennium, the figure is clearly a character with a striking resemblance astronaut.

An old Chinese belief says that the ancestors of these people came from heaven when flying, and engravings found on the site located near the city of Guangdong, seems to illustrate one of these ancestors. Detail goes so enigmatic character is shown even with a helmet antenna, Chinese archaeologists announced the same. Researchers said the excavations are still in early stages and more details will be provided after completion.
