Ask me anything

MemberOvomorphJune 08, 20122654 Views32 RepliesAfter reading all these bad reviews and SEEING the movie myself sometimes I feel that I am the only one that actually understood what was going on while others hate the movie because they simply do not understand.
I have had time to digest it all and I feel that the movie answered what I wanted and gave a few more questions to be answered in the sequel.

Ask me anything about the movie that you found unclear and I will give the best answer I have from what I gathered.
(I do not want: ur dum that movie was gay)
I want an actual debate here.
Go.

@spacyfreak wow man that's some far out thinking!! Take that back! this film was a masterpiece that's only meant for deep thinkers like Nick and Shawsweetbaby. These questions can be answered its just we haven't seen the light yet! Only the chosen ones are allowed to view the sequel

[i]With all that budget and cg why was guy pierces old man makeup no more convincing than the old man mask in jackass?[/i]
Make-up aside, Weyland must had had Vickers REALLY late in life, say around 60, for him to look like that and for her to look like she did. I would have bought "Yes, grandfather!" better than "Yes, father!"

I missed a few from Spaceyfreak sorry!
- where did the worms come from - have they been in the cave before prometheus landed? why they did not "activate" the goo to come out?
I think it is safe to assume they were bugs that came with the jockeys when they landed there.
Some think that that place was a trap for us when we arrived so it probably was set to activate from our presence itself in the room.
--
- did even other creatures were able to "activate" the goo to start his deadly work?
I think it was set to activate when a suitable host was nearby (like alien)
--
- how shaw was able to use the medipot in mrs. fickers room without ANYONE regognizing what is going on there? no key at the door? privacy?
Most of the crew was busy at that time, and Shaw assumed she had killed it so perhaps it was overlooked.
Things went to hell pretty quickly with Weyland appearing and the Jockey coming out of hypersleep.
--
- why weyland kept as secret that he is on the ship? what difference would it have made if the crew knew he is there with them?
He didn't want to leave hypersleep until he KNEW that it was worth doing, it was none of their business at the time for them to know.

- why david infected holloway? curiosity `?
Perhaps it was curiosity, I think he was under orders to do so to get the organism home.

@abordoli - well, David actually says that the engineers do not respond to them while looking at the girl playing in the hologram along with other pictures and information.
So I took it to mean that David was trying to send them some information about the human race as a greeting. But obviously he gets no responce.

@msepsis
I found the makeup for Weyland to be fine, I think you are just nitpicking a reason to hate it.

@OrangeAgent
I didnt really mind the flute at all.

@SamboJim
The urn David grabbed happened to be a earlier form of the alien we know.
In another review the squid creature was described as a larger inefficient form of the facehugger.

@BellaisanAlien
My apologies if I sounded rude at all.
Let me rephrase my theory.
I beleive that it is a weapons lab is because the Alien was a weapon, this is an established fact that Ridley himself has stated before so I simply connected the dots.
I could be wrong, but this is what I know from all the information given at the moment.

Hb = Tb + Vb(br) Alien;
Things i need to know before i die: Why infected man makes sex with woman who gives birth to a squid who deep throats a humanoid and alien was born.
To Ridley Scot.

@rubinis
Holloway didn't know he was infected, he passed the organism on to her.
Was it meant to? Perhaps it was, at the very ROOTS of Alien there is a strong sexual aspect to it so maybe it was meant to be done that way.
The squid was a larger inefficient form of the facehugger.
(as stated in a previous review)
So instead of the finished product being born we received an earlier form of the Alien that was still rough around the edges.

I have a question @ Nick, what brand of sunscreen does the engineer use Banana Boat Ultra Defense or Water Babies Pure & Simple ?

Nick:
[i]That is Shaw as a child probably, if not it could be a random child but I would suspect Shaw.[/i]
It can't be Shaw because David showed it to Shaw and Holloway and she had no clues as to who it was.

Hmmmm......I'll buy that as a possibility. My only pause, though, is the "no response/not found" he was getting was from the "network" (the human's network), not the engineers'.
There is something HUGE about this violin playing girl because it is presented in the movie at least 3 times. I am 99.99% convinced that this recording of a girl playing a violin is an implanted memory of David. Do you notice that it is playing on Vicker's big screen at the end. David is transmitting it to her while beheaded.

@Sundar
I get it, you are butthurt because you cannot analyze a movie.
If you want to argue your point then do it.

Why did the Space Jokey tear up the head of the only person capable of interacting with him? Did he see it as a threat to it's race, since David had enough informations to pilot a damn ship?
