Saw it Saturday, Great flick. It's been over 20 years since I saw the first two, so I missed a few things. Still enjoyed the whole thing.

..this just made me dislike the film even more.  The article suggests that in order to understand the movie I have to read these theories and "Fix that image in your mind", "If you parallel that idea", & "So, imagine" ..isn't the movie supposed to help do this for me?  Thanks though for the link I appreciate it.  I read up to the part where he starts suggesting Jesus was a engineer or something before I X'd the hell out of that window.  Honestly, did anyone even come to that conclusion while watching this movie..?  "Oh yeh this part of the movie totally just made me think Jesus was one of them!"

shmokes:
I went to a chiropractor and he was chatting about how he believes that Jesus was a chiropractor, and when they talk about him healing people with the laying on of hands he was actually doing chiropractic work. This chiropractor also believed that he could cure asthma and cancer with chiropractic work. Gotta admit, though, I felt damned good after visiting his office--better than any other chiropractor I've ever seen. Quackier than the rest, too, but that don't bother me none.  ;D

Flake:
Just saw it last night....and I liked it.  Agree with some earlier comments that it was slow at times but overall I enjoyed it. 

I read that blog that was posted trying to explain everything and I must say that if the bloggers point of view is accurate (and he claims his positions are influenced by Ridley Scott's own comments) then it does detract from the movie for me. 

The 3 big unknowns is why the Engineers want to eradicate the human species, how the Engineers were killed off in their facility, and why the black goo had different effects on different people...though I suppose the black goo potentially had the same impact on both scientist you just never get to know how it will end up with lover boy because he gets torched.  Upon leaving the movie I thought those were the big open ended questions to be potentially answered in a sequel.  And if they do a Prometheus 2 and end up trying to tie this in with the crucifixion I'll be pissed.

I suppose the reasons for wanting to kill off the humans could be as simple as we were an experiment that went wrong and they simply want to provide a testing ground for a new species (the aliens).  Similar to the concept that whatever killed off the Engineers on LV-223 was an experiment gone bad.

Overall, I certainly enjoyed the movie.  But depending on how they explore the unknowns through additional movies that may alter my opinion.

I never seem to read much into things...I thought the article was interesting but I take it with a grain of salt, I mean it sounds pretty fanatical to me. There's nothing in the movie to suggest Jesus was an engineer. The events 2000 or so years ago that trigered the fall of the instalation are still a mystery.  I do think that the aliens just got out and kicked some engineer ass. Can an alien survive 2000 years...While not in stasis...I doubt it. Simple awnswers.
