I figured it had to be a different planet too. There were too many continuity errors for it to be the same but it was annoyingly close enough to be considered the same planet.

The engineer at the start I guessed was "creating life on earth..."

The medical pod thingie was for Weyland. Speaking of whom why could the not have got Lance Henrkisen?

So by one of the engineers killing himself..  they created life on earth?  Accidently perhaps?  I just don't get how they knew that drinking that stuff would kill them and create another species.  I figured they were implying that it had something to do with life on Earth (hence the waterfall so I was pretty sure it was Earth) but then it was never really explained so it's kinda ridiculous to assume that the human race came as a result from that..  b/c it showed the DNA strands inside him being ripped apart and destroyed.  Idk maybe I sound like an idiot b/c I'm not that familiar with how science works   :dunno

I'm glad to see somebody liked this movie.  People in the theater where I saw it were actually laughing at it MST3K style.  There were probably 20 people in the theater on a friday night and a couple of them actually got up and walked out.  This movie was boring for massive stretches, completely absurd even for scifi in others, and I wish I hadn't spent $22 and two hours on it.

ChadTower:

Maybe my issue now is movie prices.  If I have to pay $25 to see a movie (more if it's 3D) on "date night with the wife" then there isn't a whole lot of room for bleh.  It has to be a good movie.  If the movie sucks it starts to really grate on me by about an hour in.  The last Harry Potter movie was excruciating that way because my whole family had to see it on opening day in IMAX 3D.  When it wasn't any good all I could think was "this stupid movie cost me fifty dollars!"

The effects for Prometheus were pretty good.  If they wanted Niles Crane as the robot they should have actually written the check for David Hyde Pierce.  After about the 15th scifi cliche in a row, with no original content in between, I was really wishing I had waited for the cinema pub to pick this up so I could at least have a beer.

This should answer all of your questions.

Maybe people just don't swear much in the future.  I did hear someone scream the F bomb once though.

Who shines a flash light at a hologram!?
