PLOT SUMMARY BRINGS CLOSURE

I am submitting this for your enjoyment and consideration. You will have some closure and I leave room for your opinon too. Spoiler City ahead..Again...there be spoilers a coming It entertained me is the first thing I want to point out. Then, it got right to the movie point and continued forward movement until the action doubled and then tripled. I have questions, but nothing that stops me from exploring and searching for answers and if no ready answers come, I am okay with that too. You see good sci-fi does that to you and every sci-fi fan knows this. It makes you think and for people who don't like to think, it is annoying. Now, as to what is going on, these beings have advanced to the point where they can seed life forms, planets and...? But no one knows the outcome of the seeding until after the results come in. Don't we cross breed and seed all the time coming up with strange combinations and even things that have immunity to bacteria? I believe that they landed on some planet in the beginning (earth?) and wanted to see how they would react in an earth environment after drinking the goo. The earth was so ready to give birth to an overwhelming amount of species that the goo in the engineer imploded. I don't think he planned his suicide. Now, when the goo interacts with humans, it does different things as we saw. When it is transfered from sperm to egg, it does even more different things as well. I believe these intelligent creatures realized and discovered that the fatal mixing involving humans and goo leads to a creature that eventually threatens the engineers to a possible extinction. One does over take an engineer successfully and the results is a form of Alien which we come to know as one heck of a deadly creature. I don't believe those can be contained or controlled. This would explain why the engineer who woke up started killing off everyone. He knew a successful infection with these humans would produce a deadly mutation and eventually infect their own race. Thus he started killing off the humans eliminating the problem in the very moment and then activating the original mission to go back to earth and destroy the rest of the planet. Going back to kill off everyone on earth now makes sense. The engineers originally planned to wipe out earth earlier, but a fatal accident took place as the holographs depict. The whole planet is a potential threat if the goo is ingested. One can easily understand why the engineers experimented with this stuff away from home too. You don't get a second chance and the stuff has so many outcomes too. That is what this movie proved when humans played with it. If they did this on earth, it would be disastrous. As to the making of this movie; When someone puts up the money, they call the shots. Even Theron's character says that in the movie. Consequently if I made the movie, it would be done as I see it and flack for me would follow. Same for anyone. So what we are left with is to just enjoy someones version of this story. Ridley Scott can deliver a movie and he did just that. Bravo. Remember, I started out by saying that it was entertaining. Money well spent too. I do recommend IMAX for speakers and picture quality. Why not treat yourself? The 3D is just okay and some scenes take advantage of it. A couple of times I took my glasses off and enjoyed the film no problem. BTW...I disagree with the survivors not going back to earth. They now have an Engineers ship and can always go anywhere they want. First, get home and duplicate the ship and its technology too. Then, go wherever you want. I will insert a thought here. The surviving woman knows that goo mixed with sperm can kill these engineers. Her traveling to their planet is the equivalent of them traveling to ours. Everyone is at risk. But, that story belongs in the next move. That being said, wherever they end up going and doing has got to be worth the price of a ticket. Don't you see? Take one mystery. Add a space ship to it. Add the possibility of life elsewhere and we are off to a decent story again. The formula works so well. What is out there? What does it look like? Why? There is no end when you use this formula. The 1950's sci-fi movies milked it and so did Star Trek, Star Wars etc....Strongly recommend popcorn, candy, fruit, snacks, something tasty to drink and suspend all beliefs for the 2 hours please....

It made sense to me...trust that first reaction when you go back. You will notice when you mix goo and wom, no big deal. But goo, human, sperm and egg and out comes an engineers worst nightmare. From there, the Alien as we come to know it just gets stronger, better and harder to stop...thank you

That's right on the possiblities too. Remember, she is heading toward their planet now. All she needs is sperm and she can duplicate another monster and wipe them all out.

This has to be one of the best posts I've read on this site since after the release, so thanks for that. Secondaly, I have to agree with basically everything you said, being able to read something with this much thought put into it makes the subject seem more "relaxed" and easier to think about as well. I have to say, I went in a dropped all my expectations or atleast tried to and I came out blown away, I try not to think about a lot of things while in the movie and let myself relax, Ridley's idea and version was genious, and as you said that is the wonder behind sci-fi there's never really an end to what you can do, there is always something else to see and for me Prometheus gave me the feeling I wanted from it and the amazing sci-fi film that now a days we never see. So for that thanks Ridley and thanks for the post.
