Well, the image is gone now that I originally posted. Stupid me not saving it.
The star maps in the beginning had dates on them. Hawaii was 680AD and the Mayans were 620 AD. The others were BC.
Ah. Thanks.

I know for a fact you can't highlight any moment in Prometheus that was great character interaction. Because it had none.
The problem is that the black goo does whatever it needs to to move the plot alongStill wrong because that black goo stuff can infect the engineers and mess them up too.
It only does everything.
The more time that passes after having seen this the more I dislike it. I think I'd now rank it the worst movie in the franchise, below both AvP movies.

Careful now.
AVP/R and Resurrection are far worse.
You officially hang your rights of movie opinions by ranking something below the avp movies...

AVP/R and Resurrection have some hilaribad elements to them that make them fun to watch in the right circumstance.
The only thing this movie has going for it is art direction and cinematography. Action was boring and plot shallow as the characters were.
That is fucking asinine.
If a movie is going to be bad then it should be so bad that it's good.
I think I'd put Resurrection over Prometheus. Not that Resurrection is good, but it's somewhat more entertaining than this and maybe more coherent even.

Hmmm, I'll have to watch that one again. Prometheus was pretty amazing yet awful in the strangest ways. Resurrection was like this too IIRC.
I think the idea is, 2000 years ago, they were going to wipe out life on earth.
Then when Space Jockey wakes up, he boots them from the ship and tries to take off. They really have no idea what he's trying to do, or where he's actually going at that point. They assume earth since that was their own agenda.
2,000 years later with his crew all dead? He might have had other notions.
I see the arse has fallen off this thread. It's been a good run.

For Prometheus to even be considered in a juxtaposition to Resurrection is a compliment for it.
Haha really? I can't take that seriously at all, it's too ridiculous.
David said they were about to leave for Earth when shit hit the fan, and that was 2000 years ago. Lindelof pretty much confirmed that by saying one could take a good guess as to what made them change their minds about mankind 2000 years ago (and of course, Scott went ahead and mentioned Space Jesus).Where does the "they were going to destroy life on Earth 2000 years ago" come from?

Also - how did Shaw get into the ship to get David's head at the end if she needed a rope to get down afterwards? So many things bugging me nowEUGH. This movie.
She needed the rope to lower his body I thought.

Also a few pages back the images of the Engineers on presumably Earth from the opening shot...are those from a director's cut?
Give me Dan O'Bannon and Jean-Pierre Juenet over this any time.
Few things actually
1.) Shaw carbon dates the dead, headless Engineer at the doorway. She determines that he has been dead for "nearly" 2,000 years
2.) David confirms, via the holosphere thingy, that the Engineers set a course for Earth before the outbreak at the installation.
Speaking of which, that doesn't make any sense, does it? So many civilizations had contact with the albinos, some younger than 2000 years old, like Mayans.
What a stupid screenplay.
I don't understand what you mean. When David activates the holo recording, you see the Engineers enter the room and select Earth as their destination.
What doesn't make sense?
It seems like Ridley cut too much. At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of those "plot-holes" and weird character motivations will be resolved in the director's cut.
Why didn't she just take him out of wherever she entered from?
Speaking about the whole "they were going back to destroy us" thing. Supposedly the albinos were going to do that more than 2000 years ago before they got killed themselves..but the movie establishes at the beginning that they had visited mayan and hawaiian civilizations...those didn't exist 2000 years ago.
You know what, i don't want to discuss it. Fuck it, fuck this movie.

And yet there are paintings from around 600 AD at the beginning of the movie...The Engineers had visited us throughout our development as a species. There is absolutely zero information in the movie or elsewhere that informs us that they were going to kill us prior. According to Linelof (and the information provided by the movie), there was an event that occurred 2,000 years prior to the events of the movie (likely the crucifixion of Jesus Christ) that caused the Engineers to change their minds about us. They were clearly on their way to wipe us out when something went wrong.
Couldn't there just be multiple factions of Engineers? Some want to see how their creations are progressing, nurturing us. While only a few dissenters want to use us as weapons or something or whatever. It's a bit simplistic to just think of them as one 'entity'.

Space Jews!Maybe there were others that visited us.
That Vicker's death was fucking LOL, something you do in cartoons, ZOMG the ship landed on her.. bwahahaha!
Also need Director's Cut of Idris Elba + Charlize Theron Interracial Love Making scene... please?
It does the same thing each time.The problem is that the black goo does whatever it needs to to move the plot along
Anyone got an answer to my first "?"
48FPS - yes or no or maybe or I'm going blind/vision loss?
