What is the human-sized biomechanical thing attacking Shaw?

I think you are still missing the point. I didn't say I think that's what happens. Why is the creature human sized?

You will have to wait and watch the movie to find out. But I don't think the individual standing over Shaw is human-sized. It is much larger. You cannot get a proper perspective from a one second clip.

And BTW, I guarantee you Michael Fassenbender would do just about anything asked of him in order to be in this film.

"To answer your last question, there are numerous instinctual animal reactions/behaviors which are hard-wired into their DNA. For example, a baby bird doesn't need to observe a snake eating another bird, to know that it represents a significant threat. The SJs can apparently manipulate DNA on a very profound, sophisticated level, so we can presume that including "race memories" in a strand of DNA wouldn't be any more difficult than programming in C is for us." You are telling me that just as the story is revving up to the climax, they are going to stop everything, turn to the audience, and try to explain why David, an android, or some former crewmember who has now grown seven feet in height, had gained several hundred pounds of muscle, instantly knows how to operate alien technology and even pilot a massive alien spacecraft out of its hangar and into the air? You really gonna ask the audience to swallow that? The most simple explanation is that you are wrong. You are completely wrong.

Wow, so they can engineer life...but they can't upload flight instructions into a computer. I think making sense of that for the audience would take a little longer...don't you think?

Please if I may, go easy on each other 'cause it looks like you guys are getting somewhere together.

"And BTW, I guarantee you Michael Fassenbender would do just about anything asked of him in order to be in this film." Don't think so. He is in this film [i]to be seen[/i]. Yes, he will do anything if it involves displaying his natural good looks and acting talent. But they are not going to have in in for part of the film and them swap his character out for some completely different character. What Theron did in MONSTER was for Oscar bait. You still knew it was Theron. It's not like they put her in a fat suit, put on a mask and put her on stilts, then made her stop reciting dialoge. The rogue android cliche has been done to death. Why do you want more of it? So glad you didn't write the story.

not sure it was Oscar bait, think she genuinely believed in that role/character considering what happened in her own life at the hands of and then to her own Father.

None of the doors/hallways we've seen in the trailers are large enough to accomodate 13 ft. tall creatures, unless they moved around in a crouching posture....... 10 ft. is a pretty good approximation of the height of the doors/halls. I provided a plausible explanation that could account for why someone who's DNA has been completely altered, might have an entire body of knowledge which they previously didn't have access to. There are literally tens of thousands of examples in the natural world, where creatures behave on instincts which have been programmed into their DNA through evolution. Sorry, but if Scott wanted to use that idea, it would actually dovetail perfectly with SJ tech.

We just dont know whats going to happen. I think Ridley is going to go a very risky route and do something thats out side the box, that could work and rock, or suck hard. logically it would be that the Aliens in movie are Space Jockey, Organism that transforms its host into Mutant and then infected DNA that Mutates a Embrio in Shaw. But what may happen maybe be more extream and so we cant rule out crew being changed into Space Jockey or the Xeno, we cant rule out David becoming the Space Jockey. They dont make much sence that way to me, but i guess that what we will find out to really happen could be a suprise to what many of us think is going on.

okay the first thing i know is that there 4 types of alien life forms in the graphic novels, 3 of which use technologhy, us, PRDATORS, and the alien species we see on screen. as we have already seen PRDATOR and alien , this final species must be the other advanced species. in the graffic novel, the species in prometheus discover the Xenomorph specie and tries to harness its powers (Perfect organism) like wayland yutani, however something went wrong and the ship crashed. obviously the ship wasnt damged because when you think about it maturley a space ship has to fly through space and has to travel fast inorder to reach its destination in a reasonable amount of time, in which time it would most likely hit small objects (MINI METIORS) which when hit the earth are estimated to release more energy than 6 nuclear bombs, so the space ship would most likely have some sort of protection, which would minimise the amount of damage thus containing any Xenomorph infestation so they would perish in time for us humans, when finally entered the craft nearly all hostiles were dead. overall the alien seen in the chair was the 3rd technologically advanced species

wow, that's just insane and just look at those pics holy shmoly

Look, nothing personal. I just don't think that what you are submitting is a very good plot point. It involves too much explanation and too many plotholes. Thik of all the complaints fans will have just trying to suspend disbelief. If I am asking these questions now, don't you think the same questions will be asked when we see the full movie? Scott will have to explain how and why David looks like David in one scene, then later he looks nothing like David but in fact is a blue bald guy that looks nothing like Fassbender, doesn't speak (or if he does, still sounds like David) , and suddenly is doing the bidding of some master being. So this is the rogue robot cliche, or the Superman turns evil cliche (Superman 3). Is Fassbender now going to go stiff and stone-faced while walking around zombie-like saying "Must. Destroy. Mankind!" I am very excited for Prometheus, but wow what a letdown if that is what it is.

No one besides you, made any [i]definitive[/i] claims about what [i]definitely[/i] is or[i] definitely[/i] isn't going to happen. There are numerous possibilites.

Mutated crew member

Plus, he will have to spend screentime on David's transformation, which if done too quickly will look rushed and unrealistic. He will have to show stages of the transformation, the passage of time, the effects on David, then a final reveal. All this takes time, Will it be in a montage? Cheesy. Will it be cut away to another scene, then back to David's story. Too much time involved in pursuit of this ridiculous plot point. Shaw is the main character, not David. So will it be David that goes stalking after the crew? Didn't they do that with ALIEN? If David is transformed into a so-called bio-mechanical being, why not the others? Will they find his discarded clothing ripped to shreds in a corner? Didn't they do that with THE THING? Is David like the HULK - he changes, bulks up into a very muscle-bound being, ripping his clothes apart in the process? Hasn't that been done before - THE HULK?

There seems to be a lot going on in this movie. In one of the shorter trailer's, there is a camouflaged being running through/up a cave, almost like it gets spooked off, which the camouflage is almost "Predator" like. What's up with that?

wow yes Parker Lambert. "true dat". a heck of a lot of great individual scenes going on already.

What character is Lindlehof going to have give the klunky exposition about david being transformed into an alien being who instantly know how to fly the massive U shaped craft? At some point, the story will have to stop, and someone will have to start blathering about how creatures have ancient instinctual memory in their DNA and blah blah blah. How exciting! Shaw and others are being chased through caverns and ship corridors and someone is going to stop and tell us how David has been transformed into a blue guy with funny pants, and oh hey he can open the hangar, jump into a bony suit with an elephant head helmet, and drive off in the family spaceship like he's been doing it since he was 16. Yeah, right. Or, maybe, just maybe, the crew meets an actual living group of powerful alien beings who do unspeakable things to the crew? Naw, that's too crisp and aggresively economic storytelling.
