Me too. No one will go with me for a third time
I have to wait for bluray to see more Engineers :sad:
I've seen it about four times and will again this weekend. My best friend and I love the movie and franchise. Prometheus was very good. And yes, the Engineers. Wow. That last fight scene...EPIC.0 -
I was disappointed. I've been waiting for it since January, and it was only "ok", even with Charlize Theron in it. Aliens is still my favorite in the series, despite Newt's bad acting...
And Ladimang, I read that the plan was to have one or two more movies to complete the whole prequel story, so maybe your questions will be answered in another year or two.0 -
someone explain this to me...
Shaw just got through telling them that the engineers were headed to Earth and were going to destroy it. and just moments later she decides to go to their homeworld and alert them of our presence. it makes no sense.0 -
I liked it.
You have to remember its not a James Cameron movie, its Ridley Scott. They make very different types od movies.
I did feel that Charlize Theron's role was inserted.
You could easily have written it wothout her.
NOT THAT I AM COMPLAINING THOUGH !!
Exactly. It was Ridley Scott, for frak sake. Theron's role kept throwing me off and I kept thinking "why the hell are you even in this film?'. It was all about David and the Engineers, to me.0 -

She made that decision because she wanted to know WHY they changed their minds and decided to destroy their creation.0 -
Really enjoyed it..but had my mind churning.
Someone help me with this. The crew set a distress call out...which I assume was the distress call that MUTHER picked up and set the entire ALIEN movie in motion. However, the signal that MUTHER picked up wasn't clear, needed translated, and didn't sound even close to human (when the crew of the Nostromo was listening to it).
The only things I've come up with are that 1) MUTHER intentionally changed the message to begin with and made it unrecognizable and that 2) The plot of ALIEN has nothing to do with Prometheus as they were entirely two different planets. The planet in prometheus was not the planet the Nostromo landed on (which is why that engineer was never seen with his chest burst sitting in the pilot chair.
Whew...0 -

oh i know why she wants to talk to them. but they already had contact with one of them and he treated them like amoebas. now she is risking the entire human race to ask this question. based on what she knows the most likely outcome will be they will finish with their plan to wipe us out.0 -

two different messages and two different worlds. LV 226 and LV 426(or something)0 -
This movie left me with more questions than answers. I think there could be a prequel to this prequel. And a sequel that branches away from the alien and follows Elizabeth Shaw's character.
But overall, I thought it was just okay. It didn't really live up to all the hype.0 -
I loved it! I want to buy it when it comes out on DVD. You definitely have to see it in 3D because it really adds to the beauty of it. I know some people claim it asks a lot of questions and answers none, but I completely disagree. I think it answered a ton of questions, it just did so in subtle ways. The words used throughout the movie are very deliberate and spell out the answers to their questions. Great movie!0

I thought it did not live up to the hype at all.
I was expecting something like the Original alien....slow/moderate pacing with a great story.
I was unimpressed. Not good but not bad.
Saw it on Sunday and agreed with above statement. In fact, I was falling asleep in the beginning. A slow start.0 -

Whew...
Or......................the destress call came from the ship she flew off in?? Alien ship making a destress call in an alien language? Remember, the droid speaks alien.0 -
I want to see this so bad0

This is still 30 years before Alien and there are a lot more of those ships out there. There is no reason to believe that that planet was even the same one from Alien.
So deff number 20 -

It was a different planet and these holes will probably be filled in the sequel. My friend and I had the same questions. The engineer that was decapitated was dead for +/- 2000 years according to Shaw. If it is 30 years before the Nostromo discovered the ship then the timeline is incorrect OR there is more to this story than we were shown. Lots of questions. Did you stay until the end of the credits? There was something regarding Weyland Industries set for October 2012. I've not looked into that yet.0 -
If the Engineers were real...what would you (ladies)...?0
-
I liked it, a lot, but I didn't like how the ending of this, was very like the ending of Alien.
Great film though, it was SILENT walking out.0 -

Have you heard the space Jesus theory? Jesus was actually an alien and after humanity killed him, the engineers were planning on destroying earth!
I am not sure if I believe it, but the timeline works!0 -
Saw this with my OH. I was actually bored by the end, and the plot had holes in it you could drive a bus thru.
But yes the Engineers were yummy. I woke up for those bits.:laugh:0
