No, there was the "black oil" critter, that got the Engineer, and the snakey critter in the Room of the Big Giant Head", and Alien is around there somewhere, right? That's three at least. They may have different "loads" on different ships, yes?

I assumed it was super-fast evolving DNA with a lot of dynamic randomness built in. But what do I know?

If it is one movie, it's a terrible movie. If it's to be two movies, the first one is terrible.

Scene involving the fight between the Alien and the Engineer was fine example of that
It was at least twice its size : they do have this tendency to grow disproportionate
to other life forms experiencing the same atmosphere : i know it is only a film
but even so : also in the original it was discovered it had acid for blood but
yet this did not seep through its reptilian skin though it can penetrate
three floors of solid steel : I know it is only a film : blah blah blah

Meaning there's going to be a Prmetheus part II? or that they flubbed up and tried to put the contents for two movies inside a single one?

Elizabeth and Pieces Bot left on another Engineer ship, so we have to follow them.

I saw it similarly as one weapon with different variables


Clinton: as a stand alone film did you like it at all?

Ridley Scott says that's not Earth in the opening scene. So we have no idea what the Engineer was doing there.

Ele - as a stand alone - I liked some of the visuals and there were some good ideas struggling to get out. I just didn't think much of the plot, script, characterisation or underlying philosophy.
