At least that's what I believe. | ||

"oh hey let's split into smaller groups and get lost in those fucking caves!" "oh hey an unkown alien creature here is my hand you can have it !" it's like thay always make the most ridiculously dumb decisions possible in any given situation :< Although I agree, welcome to how sic-fi always seems to work. But I did feel that the characters in Prometheus were especially frustrating. Also, I am not a fan of movies that raise more questions than they answer. Anyone else feel like that was the way Prometheus worked? | ||

I have enjoyed the movie until (the very end) + Show Spoiler + the big xenomorph the godlike person attacked, and i saw the result. If i take everything in consideration what i know about aliens, than i have to conlclude, that the hole alien species as we know them from alien 1 - 4, is just one giant monstrosity, originated in dna pool of 2 different species?! That realy pisses me off. That can't be the origen of aliens. That's just way to unsatisfying. | ||

I somehow think that this huge monster in the end was anomaly (since droid was doing some stupid experiments) while alien is the real thing that hatches inside human/engineer. Since if you consider that ship found in alien 1 and ship in prometheus are of the same type effects for being exposed to biological weapons on ships are the same - alien hatches inside you. | ||

This isn't part of the main theory but my own hunch is that it's not OUR intentions or whatever that transformed the black goo into a force of evil that wiped their entire race out. It was their desire to wipe US out. But anyways, those jerks obviously did not have a star trek equivalent or something. Why punish the rest of humanity for a crime a few romans committed? (Aw man, more biblical references, humanity being stained, sins blah blah). It was a violent era but not EVERYONE was a raging maniac. They understood that that was a relatively primitive time for humans no? Why didn't they wipe out homo habilis? It was even probably more of a blood bath back then. "Hey guys, I think humanity might be ready to receive us in all our alien glory. I mean sure, they have yet to master a sanitary sewage system, an efficient form of government or calculus but, heck, I'm sure it'll go well!" It was because they were a bunch of religious fanatics. We did not end up adopting their beliefs so then they decided to wipe us out. Which is ironic because pretty much the same thing happened to space Jesus. But SERIOUSLY, star trek! The prime directive!!!! Arrrgghhh. | ||

More or less compelling than the first rationale, depending on how you look at the death part. | ||

Not really surprising, but good confirmation at least. I know that a lot of people praised Fassbender, and I do too, but I personally like Rapace a little more than Fassbender. Apparently, the sequel's title is rumored to be "Paradise", which was the original title for Prometheus.

edit: I am a little bit disappointed that this movie gets such a high rating on IMDB. 7.5/10, really? Although most of the well-liked reviews there point out the glaring plotholes, the cliched characters that don't even act consistently and the straight-out absurdity of some of the things happening on screen, the silent majority seems content because of the stunning visuals and cheap mystery. | ||

Alien vs predator isn't considered the same universe as either the alien universe or the predator universe as far as i know. | ||
