I wonder why the Engineer didn't just hop on another ship & fly away uninterrupted when they crashed his shyt? Dude would've had an uncontested escape... how did he even know old girl was still alive when he crashed? Why not just grab another ship & bounce?

I liked the movie & look forward to a Sequel but the writing is definitely last season of "Lost" status...

See the way he snapped just when David was talking to him? He could have just done his thing, but he tried to take out everybody in his presence before main chick ran away. He got taken out. He got fukking pissed. Bout only explanation I can see. He wanted to find someone to fukking kill cause he was angry lol. nikka woke up from being passed out for thousands of years with a bunch of midgets asking him confusing questions just to have his spaceship knocked out of the sky.

How does David even know the engineer is coming for the woman? David is inside the crashed ship, he has no way of knowing where that engineer is going. Why didnt he assume it was going to another ship since he knew there was more than one?

From the ship they could see the exact position of every crew member. Why didnt the two guys who got lost ask the people on the ship for directions out and why didnt they offer any to begin with since they could clearly see the 2 guys were lost and they had time to make it back to the ship before they closed the doors. Also how stupid is it that the one guy who has been digging around caves his entire life (the geologist) got lost and the biologist was the one dumb enough to try and pet a foreign life form?

If the engineers and humans are a genetic match and the engineers have an atmosphere inside their ship so they can breathe how was he able to leave the ship without his suit and go chase the woman if that outside air is toxic?

So many holes in this movie. I know you can nitpick every movie but in this one its like every time you turn around something that makes no sense happens and you reach a point where enough is enough.

if the engineer wanted to kill them so badly why did he fly away instead of just staying and killing everybody there. seemed like he was more of trying to escape them by flying away

the movie was trying really hard to make you think the engineers are evil without showing any proof that they are thats why i think the big twist in the sequel is that they really arent evil. thats the only shock factor they can add to what they showed us already at this point

If you want to nitpick you would've been better off asking..

After the ship got hit, crash landed, then rolled sideways before flopping down... How the fukk did David's head and body remain the the same location, the engineer threw it before he took off.:mjpls:

Advanced technology.
I can't wait to see it again. Next time, I'll see it in 3-D.

movie was entertaining but dumb as fukk.

how you going tp go on a mission to outer space with that many unprofessional personnels, that captain(what kind captain leave his watch station unmanned for some puss), no ORM(operation risk management), crew with no uniform, undermanned personnels on your ships, etc . i could go on forever.

Why would an advanced biologist "pet" an alien creature let alone a wild one he is not familiar with?

Why is Hollaway getting drunk after finding proof of alien life?

Why would David secretly bring a foreign object back on the ship...open it..and expose its contents to the air of the ship?

These guys were not professionals

breh, that biologist running up to that alien worm and trying to pet it is one of the most retarded scenes in movie history. If I see an oversized centipede on the ground I'm not gonna run up to it and try to pick it up. That entire scene was just horrible and bad comedy. On top of that he is cracking jokes as it wraps around his arm. I was just like :wtf:

we all know the writing in this movie was a joke. its basically :deadhorse: at this point.

- This scene honestly isn't as bad everyone keeps making it out to be. Watch a nature show on Discovery Channel or Animal Planet, almost every time, when I biologist finds something that isn't immedately threatening, they try and either talk to it, or try to make physical contact with it. It's a natural reaction to try and touch things and make tangible contact with it. This moment happens for all of 2 minutes, from meeting to attack, and in those 2 minutes I see nothing that resembles anything out of the ordinary. Also, when Kane first discovers the Eggs in ALIEN he puts his face over an unknown biological entity that he himself states has "movement," and yet no one seems to find that out of the ordinary, which by the same logic applied here would cause that scene to have the same reaction as an Executive Officer onboard a ship would never place themselves in harms way most of the time. So I'm sorry, but this isn't a plothole for me.

I'll go ahead and explain the xenomorph step by step here (for more explanations see link bottom).

1) The one forwarding (star) address the Engineer/Space Jockeys/Gardeners did leave us (multiple times all over earth) is a site being set up with an idol surrounded by urns of transgenic virus set to release and did release upon the door re-opening. (for what happened to the Gardeners manning the site 2000 years ago ask me and I'll tell).

2) That virus is not just a single species ender, rather it is a "garden ender" for all multicellular life on an earth, aka a garden of eden- it will kill via aggressive transmission any multicellular creature from a worm, to a dog, or a human and it will employ the genes of the creature that it takes on as a bio-tool to kill the rest of those creatures - not just some - all the creatures in all the gardens that house the problematic species, such as earth humans. How so?

3) By whatever method this virus is successfully transmitted by, bite, scratch, spray, or (as graphically laid out exactly visually by the wall mural next to the big head idol in the 'urn room') eventually by cell meiosis) that is how it continues. By cell meiosis you say - what does that mean?

4) When the infected scientist, Charlie Holloway, has sex with his anthropologist wife, Elizabeth Shaw, his infected sperm cells are the virally transformed single cell transmission organism into her normal human host egg. Note: (it wasn't a human to human infection, it wasn't a direct infection like Charlie and Fifield; it was spermatozoa to egg meiosis). So

5) That monster in the surgery bed (that eventually ‘mates’ with that last 'Engineer' before its tail dies) doesn't look vaguely human because it is a virulently transformed spermatozoa (coupled with a human egg) organism (Note: this is cinematically foreshadowed by the white worms in the soil transforming in the black muck of the isolation chamber into deadly snake white like creatures.) This means

6) It is a 'mid-species' transmission cell which is working from a single celled entity, a spermatozoa which has all human DNA and yet a sperm like body which were the inherited transmission method not just to infect, but to perform multicellular meiosis with a host creature (who is essentially is a multicellular egg to it). So just to be clear,

7) This is origin of the facehugger, a transformed single celled organism that can't truly live on its own, a spermatozoa coupled with a human egg. At which point, it,a face hugger, is an organsim with many of the attributes of the DNA it came from, plus some viral advantages like acid for blood, tough, amazingly aggressive, etc. You sure you wanted to know this?

So the 'new xenomorph' at the end of the movie is a virally transformed human sperm cell merged with a human egg cell. This begets a xenomorph who inherits the sperm cells characteristics, aka the facehugger, to implant its DNA in an egg to perform meiosis - this is a novel twist over simple viral infection on a DNA/cellular- the virus has become a multicellular organism.

9) Just as the mural shows, this is how it progresses from a virus into a creature.

10) Note as well this xenomorph has earth human like white teeth and pink gums on its two jaws. The pointier head and fully bodied birth might just be a growing stage we've never seen before. OR it could also be that the Xenomorph via meiosis always has recessive and dominate traits takes on some characteristics. OR - unjustifiably speculative - it might be that since this breed has an earth human father ('donating' the spermatozoa) and an earth human mother ('donating' the womb and egg), this is a version of a xenomorph coming from black goo virus to phenotype via earth humans and adopting their aspects. This might indicate that the Xenomorph from Alien, Aliens, etc. originated from black goo virus to phenotype taking on the characteristics of another, yet unseen race, but this is incredibly tenuous so I'd discount it.
