This post was changed for @ sukkal And I thank you because I fond something even more interesting: - When David is alone learning languages, the translator man refers to "Shreyas Fable," Q: Is the answer to the movie hidden in this small little tiny few second clip of the movie? A: Read all of this next part and you let yourself decide. - - I did a little research as always and here is some interestin stuff on the "Shreyas" thing............ - I came across this site when I fist googled Shreyas fable: http://innertraditions.blogspot.com/2009/09/shreyas-preyas-and-gregory-davids.html Quote: I have just begun reading Gregory David Robert’s recent classic and international bestseller Shantaram. The Kathopanishad speaks of the twin concepts of shreyas and preyas - So then I asked myself, what the heck is the "Kathpoanishad"? - I then did more research and came to this site: http://www.swamij.com/swami-rama-kathopanishad.htm ATTENTION: I HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU READ MOST IF NOT ALL OF WHAT IS RIGHT ON THAT PAGE BEFORE YOU CONTINUE ON THROUGH MY POST, SO READ IT AND THEN COME BACK!........ If you're still not convinced to check it out...we here is how it starts: Quote: Kathopanishad The Mystery of Death and the Meaning of Life The Upanishad examined in this book is the Kathopanishad, a scripture that unveils the mystery of death and the meaning of life. An old story is told about the beginning of time. The universe was in the process of being created and not everything was yet in order or fully functioning. Before the universe could be totally engaged, the Creator had one final task to complete. To help him complete this task the Lord summoned an angel. :END QUOTE SO NOW GO READ THE ENTIRE THING AND I'LL SEE YOU WHEN YOU GET BACK! - - - - - Welcome back! - Okay so now back to this site: http://innertraditions.blogspot.com/2009/09/shreyas-preyas-and-gregory-davids.html ATTENTION, I NOW STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU GO TO THIS SITE AND READ EVERYTHING THAT IS IN IT AND THEN RETURN BACK ONCE AGAIN!! - - - - - - Not to mention the book is written by: gregory DAVID roberts Q: Coincidence? - Now remember, Ridley could have put ANYTHING at all in this part of the movie to show David learning languages, or he could have completely left this out, just having David saying later on in the movie how he spent 2 years breaking down languages or what have you. - So he threw this part in at not really the exact beginning of the movie, but kinda right at the point where everybody is getting over what they just witnessed before with him viewing Shaws dreams (one of the weirder parts of the movie). -So with your mind focused on that, you tend to not pay too much attention to Davids interaction with the computer, where he recites something in an ancient language.

@Indy John Simple: 1. We love the "Aliens" sci-fi. 2. Prometheus was as disturbing as it was intriguing. 3. Most of us want see the sequel-prequel. I can't help but feel most everyone is way overthinking it. It's a movie. RS likely already had it figured out before Prom which explains the elaborate "detail" in the movie hinting at the overall story, of which more will certainly be revealed in a sequel. It's entertainment, it makes money. Deep thought? I dunno. The many "sloppy" scenes and puzzlingly eccentric characters in the movie, to me, betray any higher callings for the script.

You hit it on the head @AndroidsAreTrouble. This is a disturbing film. We all thought that the Engineers were a species of super-inteligent aliens who lived to create. I myself was disturbed by the Engineers reaction to Davids request. Why did the Engineer react so violently? There is much more to this story which hopefully will be explained in the sequel.

"...1. We love the "Aliens" sci-fi. 2. Prometheus was as disturbing as it was intriguing. 3. Most of us want see the sequel-prequel..." For me I didn't even know there was an 'Alien' connection even after casually watching a few TV promos..My son wanted to see this with me and mentioned this connection..so we met at a theater 35 miles away on the hottest day of the year. As far as 'Alien' movie I was in San Francisco and selected 'Alien' as the in room movie..and then fell asleep. I eventualy watched the movie and have seen it a few times since.. Heck now I want to see Alien and Aliens again to see where Prometheus will lead. I still suspect that there will be quite a strong connection to Alien when the 3 part prequel is finished,,(especially if Fox has any say so..)

Yeah, its funny when people ask themselves so many questions like "would the engineers vote for obama?" or "do they have a toilet"? Come on - this is a MOVIE, plus its a HOLLYWOOD MOVIE! So what should we expect? Some entertainment, maybe some interesting inspiring philosophical thouths.. thats the rap. But if this movie would not have been from ridley scott, it may become a big flop, if you ask myself. Why NOBOdY ON THE GOD DAMN PLANET asks such questions about the aliens in "BATTLeSHIP"?
