random thoughts about Prometheus (WARNING CONTAINS SPOILERS!!)

Ok so I have been reading a lot of reviews and thoughts about this movie so I am going to pitch in my two cents. 1. I didn't read any reviews about the movie until after I had seen the movie. Then you read the reviews and a lot of them complain about underdeveloped characters and the character of David stealing each scene in the film. truth be told the character of David is excellent, the missing link between the psycho ash and the caring Bishop. BUT and this is a biggie I thought most of the characters were likeable, especially the captain and his comment to Vickers (An awesome little scene that made the audience laugh.) His two co-pilots bickering over what the mission was going to be. 2. The links to alien (SPOILERS AHEAD) I thought it made perfect sense the evolution and this was a major talking point in the crowd. Almost all of them were discussing the final monster and its similarity to the alien we all know and love. I think it makes sense that said alien would lay the eggs (Like those in Alien) with the face huggers in them. The Proto-Alien looked about one evolutionary jump away from the aliens we know and love. Also there is NO evolutionary cycle, there is in fact a straight line meaning they are constantly evolving. Now for the complicated bit, linking the Alien we know and love into this film. I think that perhaps if we assume that the aliens life cycle (or line as i have said because it is a constantly evolving) reaches a dead end in Alien and said dead end continues into Aliens with perhaps one exception of the queen (A forced evolution out of necessity perhaps?). the way the life cycle of the goo works (Mutating dna etc) it also helps to explain (shudder) the Alien/Human hybrid from the fourtyh movie. Just my opinions.

Thanks for the post here! You're two cents right now is actually priceless I like that you totally viewed the movie like it is science fiction. It sounds like Ridley does keep Prometheus on the same track with the other Alien movies as far as how the biology of the creature and it genetic make up works. Prometheus sounds very very cool! By the way I love that your profile name is Mr Nobody.

That would mean that the SJ have to go back to LV223 at some point in the next 30 years to interact with the proto xeno.

"That would mean that the SJ have to go back to LV223 at some point in the next 30 years to interact with the proto xeno." Possibly, yes and it harvests the crop of eggs the Proto xeno has laid and gets accidentally infected causing it to die on the flight home and crash on LV426. One other thought is (SPOILERS HERE SORT OF) the crew and in particular Shaw asks why they are headed to earth to kill us, MAYBE the engineers use this base as a test for how intelligent a species has become. The whole thing is a massive trap set up by the engineers who have a "If they are smart enough to get here and activate stuff they are a threat to us and therefore must be destroyed" Again just ideas.

The trouble with the proto xeno theory is the big xeno mural In the wall. It proves that xenos existed prior to prometheus. And since the engineers had been dead for 2000 years then xenos must have been around for sometime.

That's true but only if you accept that the mural is an Alien. It might not be.

Since Ridley has said this is a different movie on a different planet and only shares DNA with alien there is a chance that this is just a simular creature that shares dna with the original xeno and not the proto version. or i should say Engineer dna. the could be 2 totally different off springs of Engineer screws up with own creations. that would be much more interesting.

Dekomposer, what you say makes far more sense. Just the facvt it has so many people talking (or just complaining because everything wasn't spelled out to them) I think is a very good sign for this movie, I have recollections of both Alien abd Blade Runner generating the exact same reaction then people changing their mind [u]retrospectivley[/u]. Roll on Promethjeus 2 and for the record I will most certainly be going to see it again to see what I missed.
