Why the star Map? Does not make sense.

The plot sucked a$$. Nothing makes sense. I see two options; 1. Damon thinks we're stupid as audience and will try to confuse instead of convince. 2. Damon himself is unaware that nobody really understood LOST and pretends to be Christopher Nolan.

because they visited their creation several times, witnessing how we evolved, pointing to the planet in the movie because they wanted to tell where they come from, without spoiling their real home planet just in case we would evolve so much we would try visiting them.. they "liked" us to the point we got to smart and they got afraid/angry on our rapid progression, they did not want to risk us becoming equal to them, creating life in our image just like them...so they end up wanting to destroy us but something went wrong 2000 years ago and all but 1 died.

@kalypso But we never got to know how ''something went wrong''! They had over 2 hours to tell us!

I think the point is inference; you have to infer that at one point, the Engineers did want us to see who our creators are. A lot of Prometheus is based on inference, and as an audience member I'd say Damon was wrong to think everyone watching the movie has the ability to think.

It also puzzles me that David frolics round the star map room in awe of the holographic technological marvel - when the same bloody technology is being used regularly back on the Prometheus!

Is that the only thing you found that didn't make sense?

@ender looool so true..man this movie was diabolical

So the Engineer homeland abandoned the outpost and waited 2000 years to have another go at destroying earth by sending us George Bush?

@UKEngineer Missed that part

I think thats the idea that Lindelof had, that some things do not get explained that we can all have fun in guessing and debating what all that stuff meant.... I have no problems with no direct Alien Link, or no explanation to what went wrong.... I think more could have been done as far as the Engineer and his interaction.... but then again if they had planned to wipe us out years ago but never got round to it because something killed them all nearly off. Only for him to be woken up by us, he would think "crap, i knew we should have wiped them out, now they found us and i am the only one left here, they cant be allowed to have the secrets this place holds" Then to come across David and know he is not real and a creation of mankind, he then in anger rips his head off, and goes on a benny. I think there is the problem when you go into any story like this.... if we assume that the Engineers on their homeworld wanted us dead, maybe they never even knew that the Engineers from LV 426 had actually created us.... maybe we was their dirty little secret.... Maybe those form the homeworld left those on LV 223 and even unleashed something on them as punishment for creating us, we just dont know. Hopefully Prometheus 2 would answer those things, as the worse thing is that movie does not answer the questions from Prometheus and the Engineers and at same time steers even more away from Alien.

bigdave - so you warmed to my understanding eh? good ;)

kalypso- Totaty agree with first post. Im really sad about that people stop really thinking. Movie should be simply and expained at the end for be good enough for most watchers. I think its cool that Prometheus movie left so many questions behind. There will be something to think about... And i will not forget it after many years because of this.
