for the first 90 minutes it was pretty damn good, but the last half hour...it was a bit screwy, but still decent a scientist is killed by a mutant snake thing which escapes and is never seen again, and the things may or may not have killed the other engineers/space jockeys, it's not explained very well so one guy is killed by acid blood spraying on his face, but he comes back to life w/ super strength and kills people for no reason for other than typical horror movie type scares i guess lisbeth salander gives birth to a squid, seriously, a squid but the squid baby escapes and grows into a giant squid which doubles as a giant facehugger (wtf?), (which i sort of get since an early design for the fh was basically an octopus, but it's a little ridiculous) which causes the birth of a prototype xeno the space jockey race hate humans for some reason (guess that'll get explained in the sequel, if there is one and if not, guess they're just a bunch of space jerks) the whole old man wants to be immortal thing, it felt tacked on and was pretty pointless

Everyone in the movie is pretty stupid, though. Like...when the first alien thing appears and one guy is all "THERE THERE BABY IT'S ALRIGHT HERE I'M GONNA GO PET IT NOW OH WOW IT'S BREAKING MY ARM DAMN ALIENS USED MY LOVE OF PETTING ALIENS AGAINST ME." It seemed like they just did shit for the sake of entertaining the audience as opposed to being, well, smart. Same with the alien stuff. That one biological poisony thing seemed to work on some kind of "whateverthefuck" logic because it has two different effects on two different people, then the final humanoid alien thing at the end just went postal on the humans for no perceived reason, even though it's supposed to be highly intelligent.

It was a really fun movie, but I don't think people will remember it years from now.

fucking loved prometheus. it was exactly what I was expecting it to be.

it all made sense to me though.

If you played god and created a new civilization in your image and then found out they were a bunch of fucking assholes I would want to kill them too. Especially if I found out that they had then in turn played god and made a robot guy I would rip that robot guys head off.
