The engineer drank the goo to seed the planet with new life. The goo is like evolution on steroids. It breaks down genetic material and recombines it to create new species.

The android wasn't sure what the goo would do, so spiked the drink to test it. Could have been a fountain of youth substance, but obviously turned out not to be. I'm not real sure why the small amount in the drink would work differently than it did in the opening scene though.
because the Engineers drank it not a human. The goo reacts different depending on what it interacts with. Engineers drink it and make humans. Humans drink it and become monsters.

When I saw this opening weekend, I was NOT a fan...but watched it again today and have to say it was much better this time.

I was less concerned about the film living up it's trailer or more accurately, less concerned with the film getting to the HUGE questions proposed by it...but rather just enjoyed it for what it was.

...and the film STILL has issues. Too much goes unexplained and it's pretty clear a lot of the story was cut and saved for a sequel....it ends up kind of being a mess....but all told, I think it's better than I originally thought. The movie is absolutely gorgeous and many of scenes are truly exceptional. Can't say I'm not looking forward to seeing what happens next :manny:

It was good for a movie that could start a good line of sequels. Kinda reminded me of the first X-Men movie.

Ok, I finally saw this joint. There are a number things wrong with the film. BUT they really fukked up the Space Jockey scene. It's almost like they ran out of time and just had him kirk out instead of at least having some real dialogue with David. There was so much mystery and build up to the Space Jockey and they pretty much blew it. The movie is not horrible, but it's more like the prequel to Prometheus than to Aliens if that makes sense. Part 2 will be the actual meat of the story. It felt like the pilot episode of a TV mini-series.

It isn't a direct sequel to Alien. The film and it's sequel(s) are set in the same universe. I really can't remember but I think there was a scene deleted there, or is was discussed about in one of the audio commentaries.

I'm really late, but just saw this, and wow, this movie was very frustrating to watch. The movie actually needed more time added to it (would usually never say that about a movie) to flesh out the characters more, since most of their actions or motivations were just straight up retarded.

To be honest, I only watched it because I heard about how terrible the script was (Lindelof :shaq2:) and wanted to see for myself. Visually, it was brilliant, but if a movie ever needed a Director/Extended cut, it would be this one.

So what Questions do you guys hope the sequel answers? Of course I want David and ol girl to go to the Engineer's planet. I also hope it finally ties directly to the original "Alien". So many possibilities.
