I didn't understand the ending where that big donut shaped spaceship somehow rolled after the two women and eventually crushed them like why did they keep going forward if they stepped to the side it would have rolled right past them

I loved the black goo. It made a lot of sense and fitted perfectly with everything. Prometheus is a grand film worthy of alien canon.

My two problems with the movie: I though the space jockeys were much larger in Alien what the gently caress was that retarded zombie thing that had no purpose whatsoever

You can't half-rear end grand philosophical themes into your movie and then just sort of wrap it up by having the mysterious godlike creator figure hulk out, moo like a cow and run around punching stuff until he gets chomped by a vag-snake and roll credits I mean, you can, but it'll just be another blunt tool to separate retarded pseudointellectual sci-fi from actual thoughtful nerd poo poo that doesn't make any money

bro scientist transformed into a zombie cause hitler youth robot put some in his drink. apparently that's what the goo does. except when it does other things like in the beginning of the movie? were those two different goo's? the main character got knocked up by tainted goo spunk. how come she didnt be come a zombie? why did a goo fetus turn into a squid? the "alien" at the end looked like a downs syndrome version of the original alien. this movie is fuckin' stupid. edit- whoever said edris elba was the best part of the movie is correct. he's like gently caress it imma kill myself cause this movie sucks.

I liked this movie when I just pretended it was Blade Runner spinoff & David was just a self-aware replicant.

How did David know how to use the goo-panel to open the door in the ship? Why did he infect the dude scientist with the black goo, and how did he know that the dude scientist would knock up the chick scientist to create an alien baby? dumb

The movie had solid art direction and decent acting, but lacked a compelling storyline that would have allowed the audience to overlook its various plotholes. It seemed like the situation was contrived specifically to put the characters in danger, rather than allowing the danger to evolve organically from the situation. I bet that if you did a scene by scene breakdown comparing the plotholes/silly elements of Promethius with Alien or Aliens, the three films would probably score about the same. The difference is that Alien and Aliens took a scenario and worked forward, while Prometheus took a desired end state (based on preconceptions of Alien lore and audience expectations) and built a plot around it.
