David 8 - one of the characters - is in fact a robot/artificial person, a forerunner of the science officer on Nostromo and Bishop in Aliens. He does look a little CGI, imo, but is played by Micheal Fassbender.

For my money, ALIEN set the gold standard for all sci-movies that followed. The pan through the ship that ends with the view of the reflection of the activated monitor screen in the emergancy helmet's visor really set the scene and showed us the attention to detail that I think is the halmark of every R.Scott movie.

For those of you who aren't familier with the Alien series, Scott takes us sideways on a journey that will tell the story of the origins of the alien spacecraft that the crew of Nostromo found on LB426 in the original ALIEN movie, and it's pilot, commonly known as the 'Space Jockey'.

Prometheus certainly looks worth watching, I just hope it lives up to expectations.
