The whole religous angle is bullshyt and is merely a ploy to get more people to watch it. that theory also conflicts with the script/dialogue. Maybe that's what he originally intended, but changed this mind because it just doesn't fit.

For one, from a religous stand point, how is those big ass engineers with advanced technology gonna let some weak ass romans crucify him? Now if they would've taken the David and Goliath angle with the engineer being Goliath then I could somewhat buy that. Ridley is just trying to confuse shyt for the sake of confusing it. Most of what I said is partially based on theory but it's also based a lot of what happened in the movie.

I don't think anyone is trying to confuse anyone honestly... I just don't think they even have all the answers...

It's a direct yet indirect swipe at all christians. The greek god prometheus pre dates christianity and one could stay that the creation of man in the bible was jacked from the story of prometheus since prometheus created man from dirt.

It's called evolution. The alien adapts to whatever host it infiltrates whether its a worm or a human or another alien. It was a giant face hugger when it attacked the engineer at the end and because the first regular alien as a result.

I can't believe what I just saw. Is there no originality in Hollywood anymore. Prometheus is a complete rip-off of the old Manga the Guyver.
I just don't like how they took the main setting and premise of the Guyver and really just kind of threw into the Alien franchise.


Setting of the Guyver:

1)Aliens created all life on Earth as a Bio-mechanical weapon to use in some sort of on going war with another species. We're never told the details.

2)Aliens wore a Bio-mechanical exo-suit, which is what the Guyver Armor is. The suit was used just a normal gear for day-to-day operations by the creators.

3) The Aliens found that turning the Humans into Monsters greatly enhanced the Combat operating effectiveness of the humans. And the plan was to turn all humans into Zombie-like monsters.

as prometheus:


The Engineers created life on earth as an experimental weapon. They probably did this in multiple planets. They then discovered the xenomorph bio technology and realized that the xenomorph took on qualities of the host, and could enhance the combat effectiveness of the host population by turning them into monsters.

The technology was perfected on that remote outpost seen in the movie, and the plan was to flood the earth with the Xenomorph tech and convert life on earth to a more battle-ready form. Hosts animals would be made more effective with zombification process, and they would have variety of Xenomorphs from which select.

I bet they found out that the best Xenomorph was actually made from their own kind, and humans, being so similar to them, would actually be a more viable alternative. they didn't want to sacrifice their own kind and humans were plentiful, so it was the best option.

But the plan failed, and the outpost went dark. The Engineers found some other host population, and manufactured the Xenomorphs we saw in the Alien, and the Ship found in Alien was a type of bomber or Xenomorph deployment ship.

but we weren't told that this is a devourer or an adapter/shape shifter. We have to assume it is because of the ending, but its still lazy writing and made no sense whatsoever.. the more I think about it, nothing connected in this film at all. they threw a ton of shyt up on the wall and hoped something if anything would stick. It was like 20 different episodes of the original Twilight Zone series with out the endings.

I just read the Prometheus wiki :stopitslime: That shyt sounds like complete garbage. All that hype and thats what the movie is about? ANd theyre going to the Engineer planet to go talk tot he Engineers? lmao watch they're asses get killed. Like the Engineers are just gonna welcome them like a bunch ir Iriquois This movie sounds like an utter waste of time and a piece of trash.

@ Principality, to answer your question, NO. Hollywood has lost ALL of his creatvity because theyve run out of ideas. I dont think we're going to see an good original script and/or story. YOur best bet is just watching Asian and European films. They're the only ones coming with fresh ideas.

To me the writing was bad when she said "We call them engineers"..."they engineered us" What basis did she have to make that assumption? By the pictographs???


The whole Vickers angle was strange. They don't have a problem bring a dead alien head inside, but they can't quarantine Holloway?

I still liked the movie, but that writing was very suspect

I wouldnt say they have run out of ideas, i think they dont want to put out any fresh and risky films because those dont make money. Why take a big risk when at the end of the day its all about the dollar? Take a tried and true story, spruce it up with the bells and whistles which are in today, and call it a day.

Its the same shyt thats going on with videogames. You do something original and nobody buys it, so with your next game you just copy as much from Cod, Gears of War, GTA IV, or whatever else is selling and you make your money there.

If so then why even waste time watching big budgets anymore? The best movies Ive seen in the past couple of years have been original ideas coming out of Europe and Asia, while Hollywood just siphons them off. For Example: Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Oldboy. All they do in Hollywood is remake and rehash and reboot. I'm not going to spend 17 bucks on a movie ticket if its some monotonous and predictable bullshyt yuhfeelme?

Man y'all complaining to complain. It's clear the movie was left open in some areas to start discussion, also this concept ain't really new in the first place so I don't get that complaint. If y'all cant tell this is basically somebodys take or views on the age old question of creation and or other life forms then I don't what to tell you. The plot was left open because nobody knows The answers to any of these questions this movie is nothing more than theories put on screen with a action twist,the same shyt you can watch on acient aliens or read about conspiracy ,religions. Ect ect....
