OK, we know that the movie is filled with Gigantic Plot Holes, so I will start with the ones that pisses me off the most : 1)The Engineers created us, and then sporadically appeared throughout human history telling us of their location, which the ancient humans drew in the form of cave paintings. Why,oh why, would you give the location LV223 i.e. your military base/ weapons lab ? It doesn't make any sense. It's like the government decided to put their missile making facilities on Google Map. 2)Meredith Vickers whom we see as a fitness queen doing push-ups at the beginning of the movie, somehow cannot outrun a crashing ship while Elizabeth Shaw who was in labour, just had a caesarian, and had given herself multiple shots of tranquilizers/ anesthetics somehow could !!! 3) How did the Engineer know where to find Shaw at the end of the movie? There is obviously another ship on the planet, so why not just go there and take off again?

Totally agree. plus, what is happening to Holloway? and why? Yes I get he's being mutated but why not explore this concept before setting him on fire? Why does Fifield turn out like he does? What is the worm thing doing inside their bodies and why? Why does the squid baby just keep growing and growing and growing and growing? Is Vickers a droid or really just Weylands Daughter? Jesus Christ you can tell someone who was writing Lost was involved what a mess!

I think they gave the coordinates of the military base to use humans to test their weapons. Just my opinion though.

It was uncut... now we know why. I think they ran out of money. Could not finish the movie. saved what they could, with holes in the plot. that is why it is uncut, no footage of a whole movie, never mind anything to cut. That is the reason all that cheese is there. forget a Prometheus 2, I doubt there will be one.

Check out my latest thread were I also try to understand several plot holes. Maybe we can help each other out and try to untangle this mess written by Douchemon Laughelof.

Great... the least of them, huh. Hey, Cheer up. I just checked out the High Priest's Review it's awesome but you've got to see Brett's pic. from the premiere and the SFX to go with it. We're playing the "caption his pic." game... you'll love it!

@db - I won't spoil it by saying what the 'flute' refers to. Just know this: it really IS a flute. To be honest the press ups and engineer chasing Shaw bothered me much less than the fact that they didn't answer a single question they raised. As an audience member we're left totally in the dark about the motivations for ANYONE involved in this film (engineers included). I'm sure Lindeloff would say 'ah! But THAT is what we're gonna explore in Prometheus 2!'. But this is the guy that wrote Lost which was clearly made up as they went along: from beginning to end. My theory is they have NO idea as to why anything happened, and they're probably just hoping they can make something up by the time it comes to shoot Prometheus 2. Left the audience in a state of confusion, not tension.

1) Its the same question that Shaw ask to herself ..we simply dont know ..but that dont make of it automatically a plothole 2)because Shaw is smarter and roll on a side ... 3) well if you take off and they destroy you its normal to eliminate who have made you crash before starting again right ? Even because the Engineer dont know the forces of humans on the planet ....ITs like you exit your home and someone shoot you in the back ..you manage to return to your home but before getting out again you look for the shooter .

This movie was going to explain the alien gunner from the first movie. But the Engineer died, suitless, in the lifeboat. So who was in the gunner seat, and what came out of him? And what melted though the floor in the first movie? The alien was an adolescent queen, so fair enough, but there must have been another Engineer, who was captured, impregnated, had some kind of fight, sat in the gunner seat and burst. But where did that worker go? This is only 70 years later and yet Dallas describes the gunner as "fossilised". The planetoid is described as "deep cold, well below the line" and yet they can take their helmets off in the pyramid and not wear gloves? The Engineers need a breathable atmosphere like ours, being no more than giant humans, but the engineer comes out of the crashed ship and runs over to the shuttle without his suit?
