CGI or practical?
Practical. The set for this is MASSIVE, real proper movie making!The world created by riddley in the first film needs to look lived in and cgi is still too artificial looking imo.
As far as I am concerned they should have stopped after Aliens. The first two films were perfect, anything which has had Aliens in the title since has been sh*t and I include all the AvP films in that too. Look at the story and property, the alien is one of the most iconic creatures on film ever created and yet time and again they've managed to b*lls it up. There was even excellent plots and source material from the Aliens\AvP books and comics but instead they decided to go off on a tangent every single time. I would have prefered a proper sequel to Aliens or a decent AvP film which possibly utilised some of the material from the comics.
This may be ok as it at least it has some of the original creators attached to it but I won't get my hopes up until I see it for myself. Have been bitterly disappointed before.

When you look at what the comics threw up, one really has to wonder what kind of arses for brains were in the producers heads when they commissioned the poor stories of Alien³ onwards....
Earth was the logical progression...and in my head, an alien world with an Emperor alien.
edit, stupid auto correct

...Hmmm...I didn't see 1 AvP moment in that script.
So, the humans running off with the secret, and a lone Alien God chasing them, doesnt remind you of the aliens in the film AvP Requiem, when the aliens are all over a town, and a lone predator goes after them, to 'clean' up the mess??Edited by im on Thursday 30th June 16:14

In AvP thats the whole of the story really whereas in the (supposed) script I posted thats really the end game of the film (I assume) - there's a lot going on before that.
Interesting background from the current lead writer on the srcipt

...and interestingly none of what he says (although to be fair he doesn't say much) hints at a different storyline to the one thats been leaked.http://www.slashfilm.com/damon-lindelof-explains-r...
Just found this tit-bit on the Hollywood Reporter site:
"Scott has also confirmed that the ship in the movie is called Prometheus, and that it is sent from Earth on a mission by the sort of all-powerful corporation that were such a big force in the original Alien movies. [The Hollywood Reporter]"
Again - this doesn't conflict with the leaked script, in fact it kinda dovetails in with it.
