Re: Prometheus - Spoiler thread!
Saw the movie yesterday. I liked it o.k. Some observations...
Just my thoughts...
Why did David infect the guy?
up for debate, but could be as experimentation on what would happen. Or maybe he was instructed by Weyland.
Why try to touch a weird ass looking snake thing?
Agreed, my least favorite scene in the film. Didn't he see what happened to Dennis Nedry in Jurassic Park??
Why did the Engineer attack them?
I'm not sold on simply because they need to kill the humans based on something the humans did in the past. They did create humanity, not sure now why they would want to kill them.
Why run in a straight line when the horse shoe spacecraft is rolling towards you?
Pretty much.
Why open the door to your shipmate, who you found dead, and now is doing the crabwalk from the Exorcist?
They didn't know he was dead, his body was never found.
The black goo...it just does to many things at random. It creates, destroys, mutates, and resurrects the dead?
Don't think it's random, but yes, it does many things.
Map the place out first before exploring.
But then it wouldn't be fun.
The Alien Queen mural on the wall but was the alien popping out of the Engineer a different type?
Not convinced the alien on the mural is a queen, but the head did look similar to that from the Engineer.
The human ship why didn't it have any weapons or missile? Wouldn't they think they might need some missile in case of enemies?
Because it's a science vessel? Yeah, I know the Enterprise is as well and has weapons... Not sure why, but this didn't bother me.
Was that a mutated sperm-squid-adventurer?
Huh?
At the start of the movie, the Engineer drank some black goo to make humans? Wouldn't it make a bunch of alien mutant things first instead of humans? I think the goo behaves differently based on the circumstances.
I imagine originally the goo was created to create life, but maybe the goo mutated, and turned into something to destroy as well. I guess technically it still creates life as it destroys the host (as it did the Engineer), to create squid facehuggers, proto-Xenos, etc... (or humans in the case of the Engineer)
Not until the threads are merged.
