[QUOTE="greyhaze, post: 5941945, member: 54610"] I hated the movie for pretty much everything that has been mentioned through this thread and other things... however, it has grown on me. [COLOR="DarkRed"]I thought the opening scene was of a rebel engineer killing himself to stop the military engineers from laying waste to their "children"... hence the outbreak that killed this particular batch of evil engineers.[/COLOR] The engineers did not match the scale of the engineers in Alien, that did not sit well with me. Magical goo ticks me off. Pick something, anything, and make it do that. Genetic restructuring - ok, fine, but creating new life as well - no. Maybe the snakes were bio-weapon guardians, like watchdogs, and they had nothing to do with the goo other than similar engineering. The engineer surviving the crash and finding [s]Vickors[/s] Shaw was silly, as was Charlize's role and her death (assuming she died). I laughed as I pictured the ship rolling around them like a big horse shoe type coin being dropped. David spiking the scientist was silly. David being able to see [s]Vickor[/s] Shaw's dreams, but not abort a "baby" was silly. Him saying she was 3 months pregnant was - silly. Waking the old man up and putting him in front of the aliens for first contact was seriously lack of foresight. Playing with the equivalence of a cobra and calling it cute = stupid. How did those two get lost? WTF. Why did Fiefield convert to a zombie? Why didn't the snake impregnate the biologist? The acid killing the biologist makes sense, the zombie thing - not so much. Why the F did they open the door for Fiefield, or why didn't they even check any of their camera footage??? The captain is smart enough to figure out the purpose and spill it all out for us - but, man, it's wasted on stupid people. So many poor choices. [/QUOTE]
