people really had a hard time putting this shyt together

Thanks for this post because now I'm positive that you're a clown. Her religious beliefs were discussed throughout the entire fukking movie.![]()
Also when Shaw all of sudden becomes a strong believer in GOD by the end of the movie came out of nowhere and made no sense.
by the end of this movie after all the laughable bullshyt i already seen they had the nerve to rub in are faces the horseshyt that is theism.
fukk HOLLYWOOD!
movie was great but I can see how it's going to divide people
I'd tell anyone to keep their expectations in check because if you're expecting to see Alien ver. 2012 it's not that type of party.
but IMO they are definitely setting the stage for a 'grander' universe in the Alien mythos and this was just the starting point for it.
8/10
Got a better explanation for it that might be a bit helpful
Ridley Scotts Prometheus explained (SPOILER WARNING) - Following The Nerd
After David opened the chamber door, he atmosphericly compromised the rooms air which had been sealed for around 2000 years (we know this because they carbon dated the headless body by about 2000 years). Fresh air caused the murals on the wall to degrade and the temperature difference of the fresh air caused the canisters to sweat, like when you put ice in a glass of water. This also had an effect on the biological liquids in the canisters, causing them to start expanding (liquids can expand when the temperature radically canges).
When David first walks into the chamber, we see (although none of the crew notice) that he disturbs some form of larvae on the ground (they come up from under the ground after he steps on it). These are most likely left over from the space jockey head left in the room (these may also be what causes the head to explode later during the examination, but thats a whole other topic). The black liquid in the canisters is a bio weapon, from what I understood in the murals we saw in the walls, the main one showed the alien xenomorph at its centre, suggesting that the biological black liquid is designed to grow into the alien xenomorph each canister when activated will become one alien drone, most likely a soldier that can NOT reproduce (otherwise there would be no way to control them once the space jockeys have unleashed them on their target, the xenomorph would NOT be capable of implanting an embryo in another being). The black liquid though, because it does create a living organism from nothing, would have to contain some kind of advanced steroid that affects biological matter in order to create a life form.
When the black liquid pools on the ground, the larvae we saw on the ground began to bathe in it and feed on it. As a result, it bioformed them as its capable of doing, the end result being an agressive more advanced worm creature, the creatures encountered by Fifield and Millburn. When the creature sprays acid on Fifields helmet it begins to melt it. Fifield then falls into the black liquid, but when he stands the helmet has been melted enough that it collapses inwards. The mixture of melted helmet and the black liquid burns into his face, causing him to pass out, falling face first into the black liquid, where it begins to biologically change him as it did the larvae worms.
Meanwhile, Holloway, who has ingested a single drop of the black liquid, has been undergoing internal changes. As he ingested it, and only in*a small amount, his change has taken more time, working more subtly, changing his internal organs first including his reproductive system. Because of this, and unawares to either of them, he impregnates Shaw with an embryo that is human based, but has been part changed by the black liquid. Holloway begins to suffer radical changes with the black liquid changing him into a xenomorph drone. Hes not as far along as Fifield when we last see him, and his behavour and mind has not been changed yet when he sacrifices himself.
The real surprise is that because the creature that Shaw gives birth to is a hybrid of human and xenomorph genetics, it contains all of the genetic traits of the xenomorphs, intelligence, aggression, but it now also contains in some form, a reproductive system, meaning that it is able to implant an embryo in a being (as we see at the movies end), which it will take traits from and evolve into the xenomorph we know.

Okay i saw it today. I'd be lying if i said i wasn't a tad bit disappointed. Movie was visually beautiful. Da landscapes, scale of everything n all dat. Just dope design all around. But it def sort of fell a lil flat towards da end. But it's still def goin into my DVD collection no doubt.
Right when ol girl did surgery on herself n then found Wyland's old ass still alive on da ship to me is when everything sort of clusterfukked itself.
And another part dat had me a bit:
Now ol girl n Fassbender found another ship and flew off.....Why didn't they run into da same kinda fukked up shyt dey found on da first ship? Was there no more of dem "creators" in hyper sleep on da other one as well?
more
but to work withing the extreme unbelievability..
they coulda just went straight to the cockpit, stabbed up any sleeping giants, then bounced, as long as they avoid disturbing the atmosphere in those freezer chambers, they shoulda be good
I liked the ambiguity of the "2000 years ago" situation. They said the incident with the Engineers getting killed at that temple was around that far back, and right before they were apparently on their way to wipe humans out. So why kills us all? Why did they change their mind?
What major event comes to mind when you think of what happened on Earth 2000 years ago? I don't think they wanted to spell it out and piss off religious groups but.....anyone else think the Engineers were pissed at us cause they sent one of their own (or their creation) to try and help us along and we crucified him? Space Jesus
Maybe they saw us getting increasingly violent and decided to try one last time to straighten us out. Obviously we then went ahead and killed the "savior" and the Engineers said "fukk it they aint never gonna learn and if they ever get spaceflight they are gonna continue this violent shyt and maybe eventually kill US." When that dude woke up he must have been like "these dudes were riding camels when i went to sleep, now they at my front door with a spaceship!"
What the fukk was the point of David giving tht one nikka the black shyt?
