More than ONE species in those Ampules?

Maybe the ancient race had to utilize the best part of DNA from lots of species to create the ultimate weapon perhaps, you know.... the Alien. After all, they seem to have a image of their finest work carved into the wall inside the temple right! I still like my idea that the blue men are just guardians they built, that were some how activated when prometheus arrived. But that doesn't explain how the ancient race were killed and why their bones are scattered all over the floor in places. Perhaps the ancient race had a company that saw them expendable as well hehe, and gave the guardians an order they didn't expect?

Yeah I see what ya saying ... that's why there's more than ONE different mural i reckon ... as well as more Silos ... What I'm trying to get at (in a roundabout way) is the Jockeys are/were a holding 'company' for different species of alien creatures ... like an intergalactic sperm bank if you like :) ... something went very wrong and a mixture of DNA ensued and you end up with a Xeno? ... Ok I've calmed down now ... had 4 cups of coffee ...

Sure, you may be right. Either something went wrong or they planned to make a creature that could kill all others. But why the invitation symbols on earth? why lead us there? surely they have our DNA already because they put the symbols on earth to begin with right? Maybe their agenda changed or perhaps i am wrong altogether, because as we hear in the trailer, Shaw shouts "we were so wrong". There is something too menacing going on that leave me to believe that they planned to create this bio weapon, and it may not have happened by accident. Interesting talking with you by the way buddy.

this is what I figured...Imagine how different RGB values create different colours, say 255,255,255 is white. These ampules create random and different creatures based on the input code, I think this is what causes loads of parasites and life forms to burst out and run havoc, infecting their dna also

These are all good theories and i like them. They also explain the weird disgusting worms and giant tentacles. But... What about the carving of the Alien we all know and love on the wall? I can understand us tampering with the urns and releasing DNA havoc, but the alien from the original moves must have pre existed or been pre manufactured. I'm no scientist but i guess that one day we could change DNA coding as easily as colour charts. I for one would like a bigger penis XD

Maybe "We were so wrong" is actually a joke on us.Doubt it,but maybe the story is so simple they want to make fun of us.Maybe Shaw is the bad guy(girl) and the SJ has our best interest in mind?

@Your not reading it right!!! ... You too mate ... I love this sh!t ... never been so stoked about a movie in all my life ... "We were so wrong" ... in what way? ... to tamper and mess about with what they found? ... I don't think she's meaning to say they were wrong about the invitation ... I reckon she means about what has happened on the planet ... as in 'we were wrong to interfere' ... But yes they wanted them there for something ... they ended up finding a chest full of gold (so to speak) and they got greedy? ...

Well the temples, silo's or whatever you want to call them are based off Giger's Harkonnen Castle (which I spotted when the first trailer came out BTW lol). Anyways, the top of Gigers HC had a human skull... Maybe each temple has a different skull on the top and a different Big Head in its ampule room... Maybe?!?

True snorkelbottom, maybe they only go in one temple and it happens to be an almost humanoid head. Imagine another temple with the aliens head inside - longggggggggg!!! Seems we have established a strong theory between us here but there are 3 major things that will never make sense to me until i see the movie: 1) The alien carving (unless the carving is different for each species temple?) 2) The ghost/hologram of the SJ/ancient being we see running (there are also 2 statues of this creature in a hallway. 3) WTF is that giant hand that grabs a crew member??? (i don't wanna believe any mind control theories either)

[quote]Maybe those red orbs they used scanned the lifeform running away and prometheus gave us that video of a creature running shortly after? Thats gotta be it right?[/quote] I said this in another post just now, so maybe answering point 2 lol

i cant believe some duface was playing with the green ooz from the urn on their gloves.... "hey this could be acid or fluid containing the deadliest disease in the universe but im gunna stick meh fingers in it!"

Dont worry......Ripley will get them with her Quarantine speech lol.

I dont think that the hologram is a creature......the movements perfectly match another scene in trailer of a person running away.......perhaps its how our blue man sees.....you know , like the predator sees heat. So the guy is being chased by whatever sees in ....well holoform.

@Your not reading it right!!! ... I like that ... scanning & lifeform running theory ... that could be where Janek says "that's a life form"? ... because would those scanners really detect the organisms in the Ampules? ... don't thing so because the door is not open yet until David get's there and by that time the scanners have finished scanning no? ...

Also yep:

1. Different carving in each of the Silos ... I'm deffo going with my theory on that ...

2. The photo with Shaw in the foreground and them in the background? ... those statues 'could' be Jockey suits ...

3. You mean where matey is firing something at it? ...

@ snork ... Yes I could go with different heads on & in the Silos ...

Mark, you might be right. I had not considered that. Because it looks like someone in a space suit running, so maybe we're looking at him from the space jockey's view.

In fact....does it help if i say it is David thats running behind them recording everything he sees?

Interesting theories! I thigk we pretty much agree that the activity all occur simultaneously (the wall change that Shaw notes (assuming it climaxes with the Xeno relief) & the activity of the ampules (dancing worm like life) ) so if they all happen at once is it b/c it is triggered by the presence of the human crew our some action they perpetrate?..are these organic building blocks that become active when near something it can or **wants to** merge with and the Xeno mural shows what that something will evolve into...in this case a classic xeno form maybe this is instantly recognizable to the SJ/Blue men as EVIL due to our humanness which is frought with good & evil and this becomes apparant in the actions of the crew as the come in contact with the goo/worms that changes them, so what you see is an enhancement of their dominant traits getting post on in the metamorphosis...the end result being the classic xeno we are so familiar with & the SJs recognize how dangerous it/we are & set out to destroy us/Earth as a result. This is in line with traditional thoughts on the xeno life in the Alien series..thus we are the original creators of the xeno. Lots of holes in this but I also think it ties some pieces together too. I do believe the Blue men are synthetics & serve same purpose as David perhaps they recognize this & work together...our perhaps I'm wrong & David has to bate them & is the "hero" of this story & mimics the David & Goliath story further drawing religious symbolism....

i thought i hear somewhere the xeno sculpture in the wall was moving? Did i get that wrong?

@ShinobiX9X ... Not the sculpture but the ceiling ... when Shaw is looking up at it the ceiling looks like it's healing itself ... and there's something in there for sure ... scroll back & forth on the ceiling ... you will see it change (animate) ...

Alien and SJ POV's worked well in predator but i dunno if i wanna see it in this movie. Imagine the first ALien movie and we see humans running around from the aliens pov, ruins it right? @GEM]n[ Yes when the guy fires maybe, but get swiped away by a giant hand.... the walls have arms?

In one trailer the heads mouth is open and in all the others it is closed. omg!!!!!

@Your not reading it right!!! ... Aint noticed the face mouth yet ... gonna look ... might too be a post production thing ...

@Your not reading it right!!! ... & @ShinobiX9X ... Yep the wall moves and looks like it's got arms in it too ...

It's the scene where Shaw looks up with her torch ... there are only a few seconds of video but the start and end of it are below ... I have rotated the last frame so it sort of lines up with the first ... then cropped it ...

nice, but now it makes me think that the xenosculpture in the wall is the end of that wall changing process.

Well She does look atthe Wall and say its Changing and Vickers says into what? And the shape does in some parts look like some part of the Mural. But when i look at Start and end Frame i see something disapear rather than apear?

@ Gemn... that animation could become the mural, but I'm also inclined to go with the healing idea. If you look at the crack on the "end frame" pic and compare it to same crack in the "start frame" pic, the crack has receeded. BTW are these two pics not chronologically the other way round, the "start frame" pic seems to have relief elements that may become the mural, whereas the "end frame" pic doesn't.

Excellent work Gem]n[ !! I believe the Xeno mural is the final stage of the wall transformation...it certainly seems that all of the activity is simultaneous (the dancing worm like creatures, the ping on the probes, the wall mural, etc) perhaps based on something the crew of the Prometheus either does ....OR.......perhaps the ampules are activated when they come in contact or near something they **WANT** to merge with similar to how the original egg in Alien became active when Kane came near it (think the general consensus is the ampules contain building blocks...this could mean that the wall change mural could show what the outcome of that merging of the ampulae DNA and human DNA would look like as the end result... perhaps our inherent mankind problems create a monster, the Xeno form we are familiar with but in proto form (symbolizing that we are not capable of handling this knowledge that we are reaching for)....the FIRST Xeno and ironically it is our creation not the SJ's because of some bad traits that make us human... what if the SJ recognize that it is evil and set out to erase it's origin (us)...I'm not entirely convinced that the Big Blue Men aren't synthetics...I'm guessing they serve a similar purpose to the SJ race as David does to us as I've read others specualte as well...either that or perhaps there is more Biblical imagery with David being established with David actually being the hero of the film and is set up for a David vs Goliath type of confrontation with the Big Blues...idk, lot's of holes but let's face it we can go anywhere with the plot based on 2 minutes of trailer footage..

@Giger's Dream ... Thanks ...

@Snorke ... they are the right way round as they played in the trailer ... ;) ... whether they reversed it on purpose I don't know ... I used Trailer 2 Mar 18th [iTunes] ... scroll back and forth and you will get a better 'blend' ...

@ShinobiX9X ... Interesting ...

@BigDave ... yes the arm like features do disappear as in it looks like it's either changing into something?, camouflaging? or healing? ...

also the more I look at the frames Gem]n[ posted it kind of looks like a globe, possibly the Earth...I see what **could be continents** but then again its Giger so it's just as easily something sexual in orientation or nothing at all in these frames as it's justforming....but I could see a scenario where an Earth globe image morphs into the Xeno form....kind of an ominous prelude to what could await Earth..

We NEED another trailer :) ...

In the trailer.....this part of the ship is in the ceiling. You can see the dumdum head to the left. This is why i thought that this room is directly below the SJ chair. And this is what is seen from below as the hologram starchart fires up in the room above. That mural is actually the right size and shape to be INSIDE the head......me thinks.
