I enjoyed Prometheus, but some things are really bugging me about it.. (SPOILERS

- I felt the prologue was a bit unnecessary. It was also a bit frustrating because the look of the engineer was revealed straight away. I think it would have been more exciting to finally see what the engineer looked like later on in the movie.
- When Fifield and Milburn (is it Milburn?) come across the pile of dead Jockey, Milburn says "It looks like it opened up from the inside", like a chestburster? But we don't know as it never gets looked into and is not focused on by the camera!
- I also find it strange that they would only brief the crew on their mission after 2 years of travelling through space and hyper sleep. What were they all thinking of when they all left earth?
- When Shaw manages to get the alien out of her by herself, nobody else on the ship seems to really care. It is as if it just gets overlooked. Surely Vickers would be the first one to notice a bloody alien in her own room? Which brings me on to my next point......
- How come when Shaw tries to use Vickers' med pod to perform a cesaerian section it says that the med pod is "only compatible with male patients" when it is Vickers' own personal piece of equipment? Is she a robot?...
- The little worms (that I presume were affected by the black goo to become hammerpedes) that we see when they first enter that room with the big head look very like the worms on earth. Were they somehow dragged in by the humans or are they alien worms, ready to be mutated into hammerpedes?
- David seems to be a good guy but after he spikes Holloways drink, he MUST be a bad robot? I thought that was weird because it was the only suspicious thing he did in the movie.
- When the Prometheus ship is crashed into the alien ship, Janek and the two other crew members don't seem too phased that they are about to die...
- I felt Guy Pearse's role was terribly unconvincing. They should probably have used a very old well known actor instead. Although with the Peter Weyland viral being released, we get to see a young Weyland and an old one.
- Would there not be billions of star systems that matched with the innacurately drawn cave paintings? Or did they locate the planet in another way I didn't pick up on?
- One more... Vickers! Just run to the SIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Although that looked like a lot of complaining, I still enjoyed the film and look forward to the sequel(s)!
