I like how you said everything doesnt need an answer and then you attempted to answer my question.. kinda defeats the purpose.  Plus i had already pointed out that i was just picking it apart so nbd and my question really had nothing to do with your reply as to why that stuff is on the moon and not on their home planet.. but thanks though, I was just about to ask that one

After much anticipation, I was finally able to make it to the theater to see this movie this past sunday with my dad.  Even though I am much to young to have been around for the release of the first two movies, I am a huge fan of Alien and Aliens and couldn't wait to have the "space jocky" and ship from the original movie explained.  When I left the theater after watching the movie I could barely believe what I had just seen.  WTF were they thinking when they wrote this script?  This movie just has way to much random ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- in it to make any sense at all. 

A little mystery is good in a movie, for example the "space jocky" and alien ship from the first Alien movie, but this movie had no clear explanation about anything that happened and the characters actions seemed to be unrealistically stupid.  The director seemed like he was trying to do way too much in one movie which resulted in none of it working at all.  The premise for the first two movies was so clean and efficient compared to the jumbled mess we get in Prometheus.   

I could post a huge list of questions that I had after watching the movie but maybe you guys could help me with a few.
1. What is the life cycle of the new alien species the engineers were creating?  A male gets infected with black goo, has sex with a female and she becomes pregnant with a alien.  The alien comes out of her body and then grows into a 300 pound octopus monster.  THEN than creature finds another host and lays eggs inside it and ANOTHER alien comes out of that host?  Why did they make it so complicated.   
2. What ever happened to the guy that had the snake like alien go in his mouth?  Was the the host for another alien?  Why did that section of the plot go nowhere?
3. What is the black goo in the capsules?  It made one character turn into a zombie like creature, one sick and feverish, and makes the engineers explode?
4. Does the director really expected us to believe that a character would decide to back to the engineers structure after she had just had an alien removed from her womb and her husband was infected? Not only that but she goes with the robot character that had basically tried to kill her in the previous scene.

If there are more moves to come after Prometheus you can count me out.  Dont want to feel like this  :dizzy: and this :banghead: anymore.

I've had a sit down and a think, and I'm revising my score down to 3.5/5 from 4/5

ChadTower:

I'm still trying to figure out why a super ultra mega futuristic medical service unit would be calibrated for men only.  What, we don't have the capability by then to build something that can handle both?  And then the thing can perform heavily invasive foreign object removal surgery, from the uterus no less, well enough that the patient is able to get up and run away under stress?  When did human physiology change such that a painkiller is all that is needed to get up and run away from trauma surgery?

Stuff like that just destroys a movie for me.  I don't need everything to be completely realistic but when we get into things Freddy Krueger couldn't do I lose interest.

After times in the movie, I caught myself saying, "okay, that's just stupid, but I'm going to let it slide and try to enjoy this."  I managed to enjoy the movie, and I will see it again.

What kind of scientist just takes their helmet off and then starts sticking their fingers in weird goo?
