"Saw it in 3D and hate how much the glasses dull the colours down."
Agreed, it added nothing and I found myself taking them off during the non-3D parts because it ruined the colours.

Yeah well Ridley Scott is in his mid-70s. Id love to see a sequel with her making it to the Engineer home world with David, but not getting my hopes up.

"You're 3 months pregnant."...
"but I only had sex 10 minutes ago"- I thought this was because of how fast those things grow. By the end of the movie its full grown.CygnusZero4
- yes... how did it manage that exactly. needs food to grow but where teh food in the lab?hansglib
- It's an alien. Who cares about details like that?CygnusZero4

I heard the sequel will be called Nebuchadrezzar and they will hurl hot garbage at one another.

I was really into the movie everything was great the row of seats in front of us were empty .. there was no one talking during the movie and just as the Android is pulling the alien jism out of those pods the light come on and and the screen goes dark... 10 minutes later the movie kicks back on but the lights inside the theater stay on for 30 minutes while the movie continued to play ... talk about a FUCKING BUZZKILL!!! .. we did get free tickets to another show .. but come on man.
I feel like I'm cursed when going to see movies lately.

nice to see stringer bell in that role.

why didn't the probes detect lifeforms in the 'face' chamber?
- those worms in the foot print?Ramanisky2
- yes. and the snake in the goobrandelec
- I think the worms turned into the snake thing...but I don't know why the probes didn't pick it upsmrz
- too small a life-form perhaps or maybe because these life-form grow so rapidly when the probes went through those worms were microscopic .. dammit I don't knowRamanisky2
- microscopic .. dammit I don't knowRamanisky2
- ya not sure either... may be they weren't around until they showed up cos those probes were way ahead of thembrandelec
- Better yet, how did the geologist get lost when he was the one that led them in?aaux
- i bought that he got lost cos he got completely spooked once they reached the chamber. after that he lost his bad ass points... even when the snake showed up, he was freaking outbrandelec

The flute sound was just like the close encounters sound

One thing I dont understand is why David poisoned that girls boyfriend?
- clearThoughts0
He's upset at their own creators
- clearThoughts0
at his own creators, engineers.... maybe hopes he will be free after that?
- CygnusZero40
Oh, maybe stems from when Weyland said he had no soul.
- randommail0
Surely there are many more Davids stored somewhere.
- smrz0
I was thinking maybe because they were going to get in the way of Weiland achieving what he really wanted...I think Weiland ordered David to kill them and that's why he poisoned Holloway. And it seemed like he knew they would do it (haha, do it) in turn killing her as well. But she survived that, which he was impressed by. He when she showed up in the control room as they were waking up the engineer, he sinisterly commented about her managing to survive that mess.
- Hmm Ill have to see it again. Totally missed that.CygnusZero4
- Did the poisoning occur after Weyland told David to "Try harder"?randommail
- I think so, but not positive on thatsmrz
- yes it was afterbrandelec
- smrz0
What I don't understand is why, after being poisoned, Holloway turned into a friggin Lycan. WTF? Still an awesome scene though!
- yeah sitting there like a crab and then rising to 7 foot plus beastRamanisky2
- that wasnt hollowayCALLES
- that was the red head dudeCALLES
- oh yeah forgot they only found one of the 2 dead inside the chamberRamanisky2
- ya that was fifield.. that was pretty bad assbrandelec
- aw damn, didnt even think of him! that makes it different, i guess, but not less confusingsmrz
- brandelec0
*** spoilers ***
why didn't the rest of the team realize fifield and 4 eyes haven't left when the storm was coming? and why didn't fifield and 4 eyes ask stringer bell how to reach entrance when they were warned about storm?
the david vs charlie thing, guessing weyland instructed david to infect a member with the goo so they can see the results, but it was david's own decision to pick charlie because he was being a prick towards him?
- CygnusZero40
Well the rest of the team thought they went back to the ship. What I dont get is how you get lost in something shaped like a circle?
Im not real clear on why Weyland would want them dead. If it was in fact just to see the results, well then he's an asshole.
- brandelec0
i thought it was just the ship shaped like that... everything else was huge and maze-like...looking at the probe's scans on the ship. also the truck and buggies were still outside. i would assume they would've taken at least one buggy to ride back to the ship.
i don't think weyland wanted them dead per say as he had no idea what the outcome would be. but lets say david informed weyland about the specimen.. why not just run tests on the thing? why assume it can be used that way.
- This just seemed like a cheap plot-trick to get the story moving. How do you get lost and not radio back or watevabiusness
- CygnusZero40
Yeah I didnt necessarily mean dead. He wouldnt know what the effect would be on people. I guess this is why his and his daughters part of the ship was actually its own little ship, in case whoever was infected turned into a raging alien. Pretty shady of him, and her.
