Why was Walter Michael Fassbender onboard the colonist ship Covenant? Is this a Weyland-sponsored mission or has Walter become the iMac of droids in this timeline? A random, cataclysmic event that halts a space ship right next to the planet David also Michael Fassbender is living on is believable enough.
Maybe the alien civilization that lived there before had cloaked it somehow. But this series of unfortunate coincidences is never really explained. Click it or ticket, space explorers. Franco plays the rightful captain of the Covenant.
He also dies horribly within the first several minutes of the film. His only real lines are delivered in a video message that looks like leftover Hours footage.
This has to be in the space colonist manual for exploring planets: Never, ever take off your helmet on a new planet—at least not until the biologist on board has taken some soil and air samples.
Who knows what kind of pathogen could be floating around? You know what kind? The kind that turns you into an exploding alien incubator. The crew finds wheat on the planet. And pretty. But who planted it and why? Was it David? Was it the Engineers before they all got murdered by David? If so, why? Here's my interpretation of what happened when the Engineer awoke, which is admittedly a bit speculative but I guess that can't be helped Given the advanced technology and broad knowledge of the Engineers, and the fact that they had clearly been monitoring life on Earth to some degree thus subsequently deeming us worthy of extinction , it's not too far a stretch to think that they could understand our language s to some degree.
After the Engineer awakens and stumbles a bit, Shaw is the first to really engage him, and he seems like he is rather calmly paying attention to what she is asking him. Note the types of questions she asks: Why did you create us? What did we do wrong? Why do you want to destroy us now? These questions come from a place of humility, of wanting to gain knowledge and potentially learn from our mistakes.
The Engineer doesn't respond violently to this at all. He just quietly listens. But before he has a chance to respond if he intended to , David engages him. It's not clear what David actually says. The presumption is that he's asking if there's a way to extend Weyland's life, which is a selfish and prideful request to be made by a being the Engineer deemed worthy of extinction.
David might have been sabotaging Weyland's plans remember he said something like "Don't we all want to see our parents dead" earlier and could have said something to intentionally provoke the Engineer, but there's no way to know. The Engineers response is to caress David's head in a manner that almost seems to say "you poor ignorant creature", after which he proceeds to go on a rampage and kill everyone, but allows Shaw to at least initially get away.
The Engineer initially shows hesitation in dispatching these humans while listening to Shaw, almost as though he's giving them a chance to see if they've perhaps made something better of themselves.
David's comments, whatever they were, appear to have proven to the Engineer that they were still worthy of being wiped out. I have just watched the movie and this is my understanding. The last Engineer in the room who was in cryo-stasis I believe bowed down in front on Weyland as a sign of respect. I had to watch this twice. But Dr. Shaw questioned him and asked why did they create us and then create those things the black ooze to destroy us.
The Engineer looked confused while he looks at her and then one of Weyland's guys hits her. Then Weyland instructs David to speak to him in their language and asks him. The Engineer looks at David with amusement, pats his head and then get angry and lifts him up to rip his head off and uses David's head to beat Weyland's head.
But he even gets even more angry when he is shot and hits the other humans but front understanding he just beats them and I'm surprised he does not grab any of them and try to rip them apart. He does kill them and just watched as Dr. Also, if the Engineers were trying to destroy Earth, why didn't it take down the ship Prometheus Titan first before leaving? When David warned Dr. Shaw about the alien coming after her, why didn't he just beat her or throw her?
I think he was trying to understand her. I think David knows their true intentions and is more advanced than humans. I think the Engineer knew that he had no soul unlike us and that's why he ripped David's head off right after he asked the question for Weyland about giving him life or something like that. I also think that the Ooze that David acquired was different than the one from Fifield got a hold of.
I wonder where those worms came from in the Beginning. David knows a lot. Out of all the crew in the ship why was he so interested in Dr. Shaws dreams out of everyone? Why did he decide to put that black goo in Dr. Holloway and why not just Ms. Or is it Vickers? Out of the blue, Dr. Shaw is not able to bear any children, I have come across some sites that are spiritual and explain why some women are not meant to have children but of course you take it for what ever it is you believe in.
Just like how her father tells her that when you die It has something to do with whatever it is that you believe in I guess is where you go to. I kind of enjoyed the movie beacuse it opens up your mind with so many possibilities. It did leaves with so many questions.
We all have so much different believes and don't we ever wonder where did we come from and how is it that a simple cell or bacteria can evolve into all this?
I wanted to include the beginning of the first movie. The very first Engineer was in a robe and while his space ship was a disk while the other Engineers ship was shaped like a "C". Also the first Engineer had a robe.
Makes us wonder if the one in the robe was a planter and the other one with an armor looking thing was an army of some sort or they could have gotten more advanced? This movie almost reminds me of Dolores Cannon. If anyone is familiar with her type of work. A possible answer is found in the original script, by John Spaihts, Alien: Engineers. Atop the platform the Sleeper moves from one device to the next. Each comes alive: he is a wizard in his own kingdom. Watts sees haloes of light dancing in the air around him.
But what he learns from his machines does not comfort him. He grows distraught. Keening to himself in near-subsonic tones. DAVID steps forward. Calls to the Sleeper in the tongue of the Engineers. The Sleeper turns in astonishment. He is angry, accusing. Tones of accusation. Something in the process of bringing the Engineer back ensured his death.
Given an alien explodes out of the Engineer's chest in a later scene, the most likely case is that the hibernation was intended to kill the alien off within him, or perhaps to allow an outside party to remove it before bringing him back to life.
As the humans have not done so, they've signed his death warrant, which warrants their death. Which likely was not much of a stretch given that script also established that the aliens were a bioweapon that the Engineers intended to use on Earth.
Given the massive number of changes between the original script and the one that was developed and released, this explanation doesn't necessarily explain why the action happened in ''Prometheus'', but it does explain why the scene was originally written as it was. At first the Engineer seemed surprised to see Shaw.
And confused when the crew grew aggressive to him. Yet he seemed calm and amused, until he looked at the ill Weiland, who ordered David to ask the Engineer about being immortal, being very arrogant to the gods instead of asking peaceful questions, like "What are we and why are we here?
I see it like this: David and Weiland upset the Engineer with questions of greed, as if they had the right to be gods as well. The Engineer turned berserk I would do the same, if I was god and created mankind, and mankind wanted to compare itself to gods. I find this very logical, because before the question about immortality in a Latin based language, the Engineer was calm and amused. And also he immediately saw David as an android without a soul. More advanced than the human crew.
Might have made him think of David as unclean, unreal, or something like that, after his foolish greedy question that Weiland ordered. So he struck David and Weiland first. He killed David, Weiland and the other guy, who didn't show respect to the Engineer. I think that's why he allowed Shaw to escape. There's still a lot of unanswered questions in the Prometheus franchise, but here's what we do know:.
With all of this in mind, it doesn't appear that the Engineer suddenly goes crazy so much as he was just behaving based on his described nature and motives. Whatever reasons the Engineers had for leaving clues on Earth pointing to LV, the Engineers that we see in the holograms including the lone survivor were not the benevolent gods that the crew were seeking.
This is certainly one of the known unknowns that Scott and Lindelof are concealing in expectation of a sequel. If we're right that the engineers created life on earth, why would they now want to destroy it? Could it be that old chestnut about mankind evolving to the stage of being a threat to other lifeforms in the universe? A friend of mine suggests that the engineer from the prologue was in fact a rogue operator whose fellow engineers are belatedly trying to undo his handiwork — a neat theory that resonates with the original Prometheus myth.
Ancient extraterrestrials kick-start life on earth with some sort of apparently animate black goo as its vehicle; humans decode signs from ancient and indigenous art and artefacts; there are big round spaceships buried underground that heave out of the earth at inopportune moments; super-rich, super-selfish humans try to manipulate the situation for their own gain even as the fate of mankind is in jeopardy … Much of this will be familiar to viewers of The X-Files — who will probably have been grateful for something familiar to orient themselves around amid all the other uncertainties.
As for whether the truth about Prometheus is out there, we'll have to watch the skies. Or at least the box office for the prospect of a sequel …. Prometheus: what was that about? Ten key questions. Ridley Scott's return to the Alien universe has left a lot of people scratching their heads. It's up to Ben Walters to set off on an exploratory voyage into the film's great unknowns.
There are answers in there somewhere Photograph: AP. Spoilers abound, of course, and we're frankly as stumped as you - so do chip in in the comments … 1. What's going on in the prologue?
That's an alien creating life on earth, right? How did the constellation get onto all those ancient cave paintings and artefacts? And why would the engineers provide a map anyway? Why would a crew of off-the-street technicians and world-renowned scientists take a years-long trip into deep space without knowing what they were getting themselves into?
Why does the black goo affect different people in different ways? Why cast year-old Guy Pearce as Peter Weyland, a man at least twice his age?
