@@Luk3-936 OMG That's what I thought!!! The engineer was so confused, he was calm at first until David communicates.

Or maybe the engineer found out that they were humans to the fact that it's species was going to end humankind.

I just watched this movie. I can say that the crew members are probably the dumbest expedition crew members ever. Millburn tried to pet an alien. Janek haphazardly opened the ship's door to greet the dead Fifield. Nobody cared about Shaw's 'pregnancy'. Weyland's crew met the Engineer without precautions. Vicker died because she cannot run sideway.

[@beaverhausen1000]

LMAO!!!

[@argusy3866]

Lets not ignore in Alien 1 Dallas, the captain, orders to get inside the ship a guy with a huge alien spider attached, despite ripley being the only one with a little common sense and precaution to refuse to open the door. Also, Aliens 2, the marines, specially bill paxton, are 10 times more incompetent, unprofessional and childish than any prometheus member. Just to remind people that alien characters has always been idiotic and careless.

[@Bob.Roberts]

@@argusy3866: You have to remember that the crew of the Nostromos from Alien 1 are space miners, not scientists or soldiers; they are also close friends with each other, aside from the android Ash. Though they certainly had safety protocols, Captain Dallas wanted to try and save his friend Kane if it was at all possible. The marines from Aliens may have acted like over-the-top gung-ho jarheads, but when they were in the field, almost everything was by the numbers. In both cases, the xenomorphs are a new, undocumented threat; I would say that it'd be "unrealistic" if both groups reacted to the aliens' presence with cool calculation. This film though, I have to agree that these crew members, of whom most are scientists and engineers, act in a way that is uncharacteristic for their professions. I would in fact call the story as lazy writing to not come up with more reasonable explanations for how the crew members eventually get infected by the goo.

Agustin Freyre iirc it was his hidden mission to bring an alien back on earth and thats why he allowed it on board

[@m.jmarni8279]

They were hired by Charlize Theron because Weyland was in Cryo as he faked his death (and she wanted this mission which he weyland spent a large sum of his fortune on which in turn was her inheritance) to be deemed a failure and prove to her dad that it was all for nothing so she picked low scale versions of the scientists that they required

This dude is supposed to be an "exobiologist" yet continued trying to pet a creepy alien snake-thing despite it taking an obvious threat posture. This dude is supposed to be a geologist yet managed to get lost despite mapping the terrain with his drones (and wearing a device that tells him his location). This woman opened the ship's door just to tell the crew they can't come in. This other dude opened the door again to see what was outside when he had no reason to open it, or better yet, to kick a corpse. Shaw's "pregnancy" happened; no one cared, not even Shaw. This next dude woke up an Engineer like he was a long lost friend. This chick refused to take a few steps sideways. These are supposed to be some of the smartest minds on Earth; scientists and researchers and engineers. The only one who had even an OUNCE of common sense was the black guy (at about 1 hour and 32 minutes into this 2 hour movie), who wanted to leave as soon as he found out what the planet was. And he wasn't even a scientist. Just a regular ship captain.

[@Elias-il3gk]

[@PeachPlastic]

Maybe the movie was trying to tell us that college education isn't worth it. 😂

[@_J.P._]

Most of times "normal" people have their shit together like no expert ever will and simply knows whats best because experts are usually too narrowly pointed towards their goal that they simply ignore everything around that goal. That is one of the reasons why such experts in real life almost never occupy managing, directive or lead roles but do "their part" and thats it.

[@cheCK561000]

And in addition to that who picks and prepares a crew like this? None of them didn’t seem to know each other, they didn’t know where they were going and what they were doing. What cooperation on this planet would sit a bunch of untrained randos on a trillion dollar mission without even the slightest preparation. What also bothered me was the way they dressed, they looked like they were on a roadtrip but not in space. Also, why would you EVER take your helmet off in an environment where there’s some substance oozing out of every corner? Maybe the athomsphere is allright but what about diseases and shit like that? Movie was barely watchable imo.

[@elbandito5411]

My opinion on why the engineer tried to kill David is because he saw that is humans were making the same mistake they did by seeing that Weyland created an android in his own image just as the engineers were attempting to create a being in their own image. Except the engineer knows the consequences on that attempt which is the creation of something that will be their ultimate demise. Which is what us creating A.I. and an android is. It's an endless cycle and only ends in extinction.

True

[@jliuatl]

Because 2000 years ago they sent their emissary one Jesus H. Christ to show the humans the way... and they crucified him. So, the engineers were pissed about that.

[@hanslanda8303]

ReflexPoint wrong. They took a human back to their home world and teached him their ways, of good and love. They sent him(Jesus) back to earth in hopes he could change the already destructive tendencies of the human race. Finding out that the humans instead crucified him is what set the engineers to go ahead and wipe out all of the humans(failed experiment)

What I noticed was when David answered Shaw's question on why would the engineers wanted to destroy the human race. David answered that in order to create, sometimes one must destroy. This answer also works with the very first scene: the Engineer had to destroy himself for something new to arise.

[@chuckb8877]

Nice catch 👍

[@wiretamer5710]

The premise of David's statement is entirely false. In reality, EVERY act of creation is simultaneously an act of destruction. The idea that you can make an omelet without braking an egg, is just stupid.

[@darth-imperius]

The whole idea of going to a barren planet to kill yourself by ingesting goo of some kind, for life to arise on said planet, is idiotic. How did the engineer species come to be, then?

Seems like once brilliant people travel to space, they become ridiculously stupid.

[@jimbobeire]

brilliant people? Where did you get the idea that this ship was crewed by 'Brilliant People'? Do the brilliant people sign up for a mission where the job description is " you'll get paid a lot to be gone for over 4 years, and you won't be told anything until just before you land at your destination" ? I think the _Best of the Best_ have other options, and only those without better offers will chose an 'ask no questions' mission. As for Shaw and Holloway, they're not brilliant either, they're irrational fanatics.

[@6ixlxrd]

@@jimbobeire Doesn't matter what they signed up for or even why: these people were scientists, researchers, and engineers who specialized in particular fields. The first two blatant idiots of the film were an exobiologist and a geologist (fields that undoubtedly require degrees): the geologist literally mapped the terrain using his drones and wore a device that told him his exact position while the storm was going on, yet somehow he got lost BEFORE the storm. The exobiologist (I'm assuming the study of life in space) didn't recognize when that vagina-snake was making an OBVIOUS threat posture and continued trying to pet it. You don't even need a degree to recognize threat postures: the only requirement for that is common sense. You also don't need a degree to know how to take a few steps sideways to avoid death. They're supposed to be brilliant people yet don't even act like humans. And if you still want to deny they're brilliant when they clearly have the backgrounds, then explain to me why the crew in Covenant were worse? They explicitly stated they had colonization training and knew all the procedures; they were also brilliant scientists and researchers in charge of *thousands* of lives. Right off the bat they start making ridiculously stupid decisions.

[@jimbobeire]

@@6ixlxrd Yeah, qualifications matter, but so does attitude. Remember, the guys who screwed up at Chernobyl were scientists too, but they didn't use a whole lot of caution either.

[@6ixlxrd]

@@jimbobeire They were qualified professionals is all I'm saying. Given their qualifications and areas of specialties, they were supposed to be "brilliant" in those specific areas. You'd think an exobiologist specializing in the study of unknown lifeforms would recognize a threat posture (let alone the potential dangers of an unknown lifeform). You'd think a geologist would know how to actually be a geologist. Everyone in this film were supposed to be brilliant, or at least display SOME level of professionalism, but instead they were all just a bunch of idiots.

[@jimbobeire]

@@6ixlxrd Yup, Fifield was hotboxing in his suit. He may have shared some with Milburn. It was a stupid scene, especially as they could have killed them of in a better way. There were two snakes, so they could have backed away from one and been ambushed by the other.

@David Ortiz Predators and Aliens have never officially shared a canon universe. AVP comics, and the movies, were just a way to make money on a crossover event due to both sharing a fan base during the 1980s and 1990s.

@@nopantssteve6784 No I'm saying they can operate differently based on the organisms interacting with the environments. You can have an area that ONLY has plant life that kills all living being because of the poisonous gases that being released from the plants, for example. Context matters for every scenario. Like think of deserts where there are hardly living people there but a couple of plants growing about because of the natural intake of the area's resources.

[@hraldburger2134]

I think that you got something wrong there... David said that if Wayland dies he is free and that everyone wants theire parents to die. So David awakens the engeneer knowing that it would kill Wayland to become free and chase his own dreams of creating like Wayland did. He probibly was inspiered of Wayland and the idea of creating life but could not free himself sice his programing surely forbits him to harm his ''Dad'' so he maybe told the engeneer some strange stuff to get rid of his problem.

This has become one of the films that I continue to watch a few times each year. I love the film! I found it exceptional and utterly brilliant! The scope of this film is absolutely MASSIVE and yes, there are absolutely a few bits that are frustratingly cryptic and/or left without answers.

[@arthurviegas7671]

I cant say I enjoy prometheus as much as some people do, but at least, I respect riddley scott for expanding the universe, making a movie about life and creation, and for having the balls not to include a xenomorph in an Alien prequel. However, unfortunately, riddley made a terrible mistake when creating the neomorph just to please the fans in Alien covenant. By doing that, he made a film that doesnt know where its focus should be, and doesnt understand the story. Of course there are more problems in Alien covenant, but the way I see it, that was his first mistake. It should have been just "covenant".

[@wishmaster2575]

[@dylanlomas2248]

Ridley Scott is a paid intelligence operative who stole the research of a REAL STAR MAP discoverer that will blow your mind. Read on: Ok. The real tragedy here is that the Movie Prometheus 2012 (the first 20 minutes) was based on GENUINE work of a researcher who the Elite want no one to discover. He is an archaoastronomer, historian and expert in decoding ancient texts, glyphs and scrolls as well as megalithic sites around the globe. He really has discovered real STAR MAPS as depicted in the opening of the movie. He got no credit and the work was fictionalized so no one ever finds it or believes it. All the rest about evil aliens and black goo is complete BS-a psy-op so we never discover our mind blowing TRUE HISTORY. The black goo theme is a disinfo campaign based on the Egyptians using bitumen to embalm their mummies! Nothing else!www.thehiddenrecords.com/key-of-solomon.phpRead more Show less

[@jerichomorales6676]

It should have been titled as "PARADISE LOST" or "PLANET 4"

[@Dee-Ell]

It's a shitty movie (the one that followed was even worse). Ridley Scott consistently plants the seeds of fascinating worlds but always falls short of intelligently expanding on them. There are holes everywhere and geeks plug those holes with all sorts of speculations and believe Scott know where he is going but he does not. 2089+: An era where you can spend one trillion dollars but can't find any competent professional to man your epic expedition. "This is a scientific expedition, no weapons." Are you a freaking moron or what? These Aliens movies are basically teen horror flicks set in space. About life and creation? There was no original or new idea presented; just a variation of the same idea seen elsewhere.

The concept about Jesus being an engineer was refuted by Ridley Scott. They originally planned that narrative but scrapped it later.

[@jamessotelo874]

This is a great explanation helped a lot made things a lot more understandable but I think with the deleted scenes of this movie really makes it better, like feifeld (probably spelled wrong) looking more like an alien then a zombie which really brings into effect the extent of the black goo on humans or with the engineer actually responding to David it just answers some more questions

[@veganmikey1]

Prometheus is one of the few movies that when you say "you just didn't get it", it's actually true. I initially disliked the film walking out of the theatre, but something was nagging me to learn more about it. Soon to follow, I was absolutely enamored with this masterwork of sci-fi cinema. The deepest of themes populate the runtime, philosophical pondering, the meaning of life, the embodiment of death, the origins of man, religion and gods, science and faith, and so much more. One of the most underrated films of all time. I hope Covenant doesn't stray too far from the narrative threads in Prometheus, but enough so that Ridley can entertain the plebs and have the film make enough money to continue the saga.

[@veganmikey1]

And before I get a bunch of hate, I'm not saying the film is perfect, I understand most people's problems with the film. But I can look past them, and enjoy it. Just don't watch it with someone who has a short attention span.

[@gabrieleliaskaznadji9945]

+FoundFlix in the first Alien movie (LV-426) they only find one crashed ship with the Ovomorphs (eggs). In Prometheus (LV-223) they find several ships (parked underground) holding only the weaponised 'goo', in what seems to be a military installation. I think this means is that Engineers use the eggs (as they are the easiest form of the Alien to transport) to create the goo. Since they are moons of the same planet and relatively close by, I think the crashed ship from Alien was on its way to LV-223 from somewhere to resupply the military installation with more eggs, before it had to make an emergency landing (hence why they had time to active the distress beacon maybe) on LV-426. So the ship from Alien wasn't a bomber, I think it was a supply ship on its way to LV-223 and that's how the films are now connected. People saying that the engineers created the Alien species, I don't think so, they discovered them and just got one step closer to what Weyland-Yutani corp was trying to do in the original films (weaponise them). PS: obviously I could be wrong about all that Haha

10:47 this scene reminded me of something. Shaw performs a C-section on herself, then: She immediately runs around for a while, then gets a shotgun butt to the abdomen. Then a few minutes later does some UFO death parcour outside, then immediately goes on to beat a 100% healthy Vickers in a 100m race. And lastly, gets pushed around by an angry engineer and then is able to repel up and down a couple of space ships unaided, with an android head in a bag. If that’s not the strength of an alien I don’t know what is.

My thoughts about the engineer at the beginning is that he is well aware of the mission to destroy humanity and he is fully against that. He is kinda like David and he is the only one who can wake up other engineers from hyper sleep. He drank the goo to destroy himself so that the mission will remain paused.

I think the hybrid engineers at the citadel were the people who staged a coup on the engineers on LV223 and attacked their ship. I’m not sure how they used a deacon though. But this explanation gives some insight as to why another engineer created civilization would want to prevent a distant sibling from being destroyed. And when they saw David in the ship at the citadel they must’ve thought their mission was successful. And then David kills them all- sad face.
