Prometheus – Special Edition

As much as I enjoyed the original film, I always felt that it *tried* too hard to be an Alien film, while at the same time, missing many of the elements that made Alien so successful.

This edit changes all that. It feels like the film Prometheus wanted to be.

Picture & sound quality are simply stunning and this is now the version I will watch and I will watch it MANY more times than the original.

Prometheus - Agent 9 edit

I enjoyed the theatrical release of this film. Critics or fanboys who complained, I shrugged at.
What did they expect? Scott has always been a loose director, permitting plot gaps and unanswered questions. I have no doubt that in ten years, Prometheus will be regarded as a Sci Fi classic.
What Agent 9 preformed was an outstanding overhaul.
He threw the yoke of structure onto the film and straightened the narrative. Taut, focused.
Everything he added, I enjoyed. Everything tossed ... well ... (SPOILER) ... I missed the opening Engineer sequence. Mainly because it was so visually arresting. To be honest, however, while cool looking it seemed disconnected from what followed. More parable than plot point. I warmed to the Weyland speech.
Other trims were fine, especially the two button heads who, as screened, seemed little more than comic Jar Jars.
I cannot stress how amazing the visual work was. Demo clinic time.
Sorry, quibbles.
The audio was two channel stereo. Visuals were spectacular, but the audio was two channel stereo. I mean, really?
The mp4 version was one long chapter. Like Prince’s “Lovesexy” or Lynch’s Mulholland Drive. One chapter. Please, more breaks next time.
Anyway, this is one helluva an edit, and I look forward to A9 repairing Prometheus 2 ...
.Update 2021
....….Only that never happened. Agent9 either lost passion for the hobby, or tired of the scuffles, or something else.
By and large, fanediting is a thankless endeavor. Many beg to view, few say thank you. That’s life.
As far as Prometheus 2, such a colossal fail.

Subs = Most of the subs for Agent 9’s edit are machine translated VonSubs. I fixed most timing errors and corrected OCR mangled words. Again, this srt is for Agent 9’s edit.

This edit is great stuff... it takes a movie that I was looking forward to so much and delivers the satisfaction I should have felt when I saw the theatrical cut in the cinema! This is now my go to copy and my blu-ray will forever be gathering dust!

Masterful editing, and brilliant integration of the deleted scenes. Prometheus now FEELS like a member in the Alien franchise which is what I was originally hoping for. Agent 9 has done a fantastic job!

i hadnt gotten around to watching the bluray when i saw this fanedit on fanedit.org

maybe it was the 3D, but i couldnt tell any deleted scene from the rest of the movie
basically to me, this IS the movie...and it is something else, i will tell you

the only part i could tell is the beginning sequence seemed like added 3D, but thats alright...was well done

this is a true emotional ride, and seemed like a real Alien movie to me :-)

Congrats to the faneditor, and keep up the good work!

P.S. that list of cuts/additions at the end was mind-boggling...no idea how you guys do this :D

I liked Agents 9's take on Prometheus. The TED Talk intro is always a welcome addition to any Prometheus Edit. The faster paced story line, the removal of unneeded, unnecessary and unwanted secondary character development is a relief.

I have a difficult time in coming up with anything negative to say about this Edit. My biggest complaint as with other edits of Prometheus really isn't the Fan Editors fault. I really really hate that so many characters are introduced so late in the film. The Theatrical Cut suffered from this also. So again I can't really blame Agent 9.

Agent 9 you created a great Fan Edit and this version has made it's way into my Prometheus Blu-Ray Amaray for many more viewings.
