I watched Prometheus last night. Not sure what I think. It's like it could have been an exciting movie but they botched it... After the first half-hour or so I had to google it to see if it was meant to be some sort of religious propaganda movie. Apparently not, just a religious/philosophical type of discussion. Which is fine and could be really interesting given the "Engineers" and the non-human David. But they never really take it anywhere, besides being occasionally very unscientific. (Like when the lead character Ellie proclaims that she chooses to believe in the Engineers precisely because there is no evidence for them. Or when they enter an area with breathable atmosphere and all take off their helmets disregarding both the possibility of them suddenly needing said helmets again OR that they themselves might contaminate the area. Or that archaeologists are conducting medical examinations... And that a 2000 year old (dead) head would still have functioning neural pathways... or a baby squid that grows into Chtulhu in a matter of hours without any sustenance from which to grow... Sorry for any spoilers if you haven't seen it.)

Seems to me the script writer could have done with a better understanding of both science in general and evolution in particular. Guess I was disappointed, now that I sum it up. But it's a real shame - much of the same story could have been told without all the logical holes.

y'see I think you have to watch it and disregard any analysis, I really enjoyed it, but then I tend to just watch mindless stuff purely for the entertainment value.
