heres a lil forum for the geeky ones to get your thoughts out. my rant is below. apologese for the long read. Look forward to reading other views.
---------------------------------------------------------
ok i know we all went in with high expectations. i admit I have most of the comics and novels of this universe. so the chance that geeky fans like my me been disappointed was pretty high. but the level of disappointment I got was completely unexpected.
Ok from a geeky perspective there were a billion plot holes and no explanations to show the writers had put much thought in it. I'm not going to go into to much detail as I don't want to put to much spoilers out there. But the ending scene showing a kind of prehistoric early evolved facehugger thing making a early version of an alien doesn't really tie in with the rest of the universe. in Alien, the film is set not to long after prometheus. The pilot/engineer was fossilised in that. implying he'd been there for a long time. now how can the xenomorph we get at the end of prometheus evolve over that short a period into the zenomorph we are all familiar with, (i am presuming thats the route this is going otherwise what's the point of that final scene other than to tie it to the alien franchise, the facehuggers we are used to are certainly alot more efficient and presumably more evolved than that huge thing at the end of prometheus so to get from one to the other I'm presuming evolution would be involved).
Secondly, i know alot of the AVP universe has been discounted but i'm pretty sure anyone else thats even vaguely into it accepts/likes the link of the predators hunting the aliens. hence why theres a skull in the pred trophy wall of predator 2. this again kinda implies the xenomorph we're used to has been around alot longer than we think. so how come there is an early less evolved form of it in prometheus which is set a long time after we first see this.
lastly I know comics and novel aren't always considered cannon but they have done alot for the universe and this film contradicts alot of what they have built up so Ridley Scott has kinda just given all those other works the middle finger and said "im doing it my way".
and lastly a few things that made me feel like it was only done for the money. ridley said he did say that he would have liked to make an 18 certificate but on paper that would have lost him 80million. ok. i can understand that fair enough. but then the last 20mins of the film all seemed geared towards making the sequel and setting up the rest of the new series. which made me feel like a large bit of the film was purely set up to make other movies and more money. ok we know things like this aren't done for free but no one likes it when its that obvious in cinema.
Sorely disappointed in this. there was little explanation to the issues that came up and the questions the plot holes left your wondering weren't really interesting enough to make you need an answer or the answers you worked out contradicted with other aspects of the film. I just hope this isn't something like the "lost" tv show were they go into it without any real thought.
