Finally seen it, tis a good enough flick, expected more as was the vibe around here. Left confused and asking why is there so much stupid ****e in it and stuff that dosent add up!
-The crew is ridiculous was happy the bilogist dies, what an idiot!
-How is the engineers dna the same as ours when we're clearly not the same?
-The exploding head scene was gas and green insides? Cliche enough.
-The black liquid/goo. Assuming thats what the engineer drinks at the start and ultimately disintigrates him why does it react differently? It dissintigrates him, makes the geoligist ultra strong and go full retard and turns a tiny worm into a giant very strong snake thing? And then when someone has sex after consuming it they impregnate the women with an alien? Fair enough, quite the weapon they engineered!
-Whats the deal with the snake worm thing? Is it a form of facehugger/impregnation thing too? It has acid for blood so one would assume its somewhat connected to the the alien family tree
-What killed the engineers?
-Why did it conviniently pile them in a corner
-Why is there just one engineer left? Did he sleep through the genocide, did he cause it? Was he gonna be in hyper sleep for an eternity?
-Whats the deal with the suits? The engineers in the hologram are wearing the full one yet when he sits in the chair it just seems to form around him and not really a suit.
-Where the hell did the other vehicle go when they were running away from the storm???
-Why does shaw wake up not giving a thundering fcuk that just a while ago she saw her boyfriend go crazy/physically change in front of her and ultimately get set alight and die in the most horrible pain imaginable?
-What did david say to the engineer?
-Whats the engineers beef with everybody?
-Why does the mdical pod only cater for males and is in vickers room? Whats the point in it only catering for males if its so easliy bypassed by just using the touch screen menu?
-Why are the 3 pilots so ****ing happy that they're gonna be dead in a few seconds in a horrible painful death yet still harp on about there stupid bet?
-Why is vickers an idiot for not running away from the ship instead of with it in a race that she was never gonna win?
-How does david know theres other ships and where they are?
-Why in gods name is shaw going to the engineers home planet after seeing what happened there? Because she wants to know why they changed their mind? Ok, fair enough, but you're probably gonna die but whatever.
Thats all my niggling questions and observations, havent read the thread really since release so no doubt im just repeating
Of course its set up for a sequal and maybe a trilogy, does it zone in on shaw or the xeno that came from the engineer?
Anyways as an alien fan it was good to see where the whole facehugger/xeno thing started, it'll be interesting to see how he evolves them in future films, if he does.
Fassbender was brilliant, repeaces accent was gas but she did a good job too I felt.
I was reading this post in the way this guy talks in this video, not that they're in anyway related

Best quotes:She’s proving she’s well hard by showing us that all she has to do to recover from two years in suspended animation is some push ups in her wet bra and wet knickers. Everyone else wakes up and is a bit groggy, or throws up. The pussies.But we already know they’ve taken two years to get here. And the nearest star to Earth (ok, second nearest) is Proxima Centauri, at 4.2 light years away. So either he’s talking complete bollocks, in which case you’d think the navigator (if they had one) would correct him (if he could bring himself to be interested) or to get here they had to travel at several times the speed of light, and therefore have broken a fundamental Universal constant. If it was the first explanation then it would be plainly visible (even though there’s no such thing) and if it was the second then A) How did they find it themselves? And
Isn’t the ability to travel faster than the speed of light the real story here?Anyway. He then he tells them that the ‘galactic configuration’ has a sun. Aren’t galaxies largely composed of suns? It doesn’t matter. At this point even some of the cast are yawning....More things happen, and when they get back to the SBS Noomi is three months pregnant and Dr. Holloway’s red-eye is so bad that Charlize Theron has to kill him with a flame-thrower.After an extended sequence of events we shall classify as ‘**** happening’, everyone dies except for Noomi and Fassbender.Noomi and Fassbender, (who is by now just a head, because that’s just what happens to robots in Alien movies),.
Nobody is left to ask why. Nobody is left to care. They wouldn’t have done anyway.0 -

Colourful displays shimmer into being – motion sensitive read-outs unfold and hover in front of him, their only goal in life is to provide him with information, and look great. Fassbender smiles, perhaps marveling at the possibility that one day in the not so distant future, all this marvellous technology could be replaced by clattery keyboards, blinking LEDs and monochrome cathode ray tubes - almost like something out of a 70s horror movie. . .
Presumably Fassbender, being an Android, doesn't need to even look at the readouts, can he not just connect wirelessly to the ships computer and get the readouts directly to his head. Maybe he's smiling at the idea that those annoying airbreathers are restricted to such indirect means of obtaining information.
