Prometheus	comment	Prometheus, a 2012 Sci-Fi Horror film directed by Ridley Scott, serves as a semi-prequel to 1979's Alien. This film marked the end of Scott's thirty-year abstinence from the science-fiction genre since 1982's Blade Runner.A team of scientists and astronauts set out on the research vessel Prometheus to unravel the mystery of the dawn of mankind. They seek the Engineers, an alien race who may be humanity's creators; scientists Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green) believe they have uncovered an "open invitation" to find the Engineers within a reoccurring star pattern found in several ancient human writings. The team soon learns that the location is far from welcoming… and that what they've discovered could endanger the entire human race.Months prior to the film's release, Alien fans speculated about whether Prometheus had any relation to the franchise. Ridley Scott danced around the issue at first by saying it started as a direct prequel before moving onto something new entirely during its inception, but the film itself clarifies its position in the Alien canon with notable references to the Xenomorphs and Weyland Industries (before it became Weyland-Yutani). The plot's main focus, however, is on the nature of the "Space Jockeys" and their connection to humanity.A sequel, Alien: Covenant, was released on May 19, 2017.

That's right, the ending of the movie is in one of the posters.

The New Age background music to Weyland's presentation is from the end credits of Alien. Some supplementary materials from the Blu-ray show that at one point, the Mega-Corp was supposed to be named Weyland-Tyrell. It's never made clear if Scott gave up on the idea of linking the two continuities completely.

Janek thinks it's amusing and tells them to have a good night, then leaves the comm station right before Milburn gets attacked. Not that he would have been able to help them anyways, considering the storm.

After he's mutated—which forced his body to crawl the entire way to Prometheus, legs over spine—and shows up at the ship, he gets shot repeatedly, run over, and is set on fire. Milburn's death by asphyxiation—or perhaps, worse still, massive internal injuries—when a creature forces its way into his body through his mouth. What occurred beforehand was also very unpleasant. The Engineer's slow death at the hands of the horrific tentacle monster. Then the Engineer's true death by chestburster. Vickers gets crushed under the Space Jockey ship. Holloway contracts an infection that begins painfully dissolving his body from the inside, then he's flame-broiled alive by a flamethrower—which doesn't appear to kill him right away.

Prometheus / int_1f6983f7	type	Ambiguous Situation
Prometheus / int_1f6983f7	comment	Ambiguous Situation: David manages to wake up the Engineer and tell him Weyland's request, but while the Engineer seems contemplative at first, after watching Weyland's mooks mistreat Shaw, he suddenly mutilates David and kills Weyland and the rest. He then re-initiates a 2000-year-old mission to carry the black liquid to the Earth, ostensibly to bomb the planet with it and reboot all of its biosphere. The reason of any of this is left open to interpretation. This is lampshaded in-universe when Shaw asks him why the Engineers had prepared such a plan against the humans, but no answer is given within the film. A deleted longer version of the same scene makes it slightly less ambiguous, albeit giving it different implications. The Engineer now talks and actually replies angrily to Weyland, but what he says and why he ends up reacting that way are still unclear. According to the promotional book A grammar of modern Indo-European - Prometheus edition, the Engineer's reply to Weyland's request for immortality translates literally as "you would not be a man if you didn’t grow old," implying either that humans cannot be made biologically immortal or that the Engineer simply doesn't deem them worthy to receive such gift. However, David instead claims the Engineer is asking why Weyland is so great as to deserve immortality, which differs enough from the real line to suggest David might be actually betraying Weyland by deliberately mistranslating the dialogue. Those lines and Weyland's subsequent pathetic boasts also imply the Engineer attacks him merely out of annoyance, although this leaves the reason of his mission to Earth still unknown and even harder to guess than in the final cut.

Prometheus / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: Several of them in fact: Compare the first trailer to the 1979 trailer for Alien; most notably it contains the same wailing tone throughout. Lampshaded by the online community later with this gem. David performs an impossible basketball shot just like Ripley in Alien: Resurrection and then exaggerated when he does it all while riding a bicycle no less. Also, a certain line from Aliens gets repeated. The briefing scene aboard the Prometheus resembles the briefing from Aliens, including most of the crew not having been told about the purpose of the mission before they went into hypersleep. However, the circumstances of this movie make this much less plausible. The movie ends much like how the original Alien did: the survivor goes off into space, leaving behind a final log of the ship that describes what she's been through. David 8. Compare with Ripley 8 in Alien: Resurrection. The POV Cams from Aliens re-appear, and like that movie, the team disarms themselves with disastrous results. The head on the outside of the ship closely resembles the Newborn Xenomorph specimen from Alien: Resurrection. The mutated Fifield gets run over and crushed by a vehicle in exactly the same way as one of the Xenomorphs in Aliens.

His crewmen Ravel and Chance refuse to leave his side in order to help him. They all go out in explosive style. This actually seems to a running theme in the movie: the Engineer at the start sacrifices himself to birth humanity; David muses over T.E. Lawrence's line about "not minding that it hurts" and, despite cruelty and unnecessary violence making him shed a single milky tear, indicating some amount of empathy, proceeds to sacrifice the rest of his crew for some apparently larger goal; Holloway asserts that he would be willing to do "anything and everything" to succeed in the mission (indirectly giving David permission to infect him), and later keeps quiet about his health concerns for the sake of continuing the mission and allows himself to be burned to death to stop his infection; and at the opposite end of the spectrum is Weyland, who will sink a trillion dollars of research and resources, plus risk the security of mankind, to stop himself from dying, despite already appearing to be past his centenary.

Prometheus / int_7286e96d	comment	Idiot Ball Yes, go ahead and pet the strange hissing cobra thing; we all want to see what happens. Scratch that, we've paid to see it. Fifield and Milburn get this together. There are plenty of featureless chambers with good sight lines but they decide it's best to camp out in the room with the creepy vials and the rivers of black goo on the floor. Why oh why would anyone on an alien world take their helmet off? Even if the air's composition is chemically breathable, it's still dangerous, especially since the body has zero preparation for any microscopic contagious life it encounters. The fake Weyland Corporation timeline says that the company has developed advanced bioscanners that can detect microscopic life-forms. However, this still doesn't excuse them removing their helmets and introducing Earth micro-organisms into an alien environment. Did anyone stop to consider that maybe the aliens might be hostile?note Yes they did, they even brought guns and flamethrowers just in case. Unfortunately for everyone else involved, the guy who funded the exploration and the two scientists he says are in charge of the mission don't allow their use. While it is true that there was peaceful contact in the past, they don't consider that maybe there was a reason it stopped. Everyone seems to think that their arrival will be met with fanfare, they'll be greeted heartily, and all their questions will be answered. Two of your crew are lost in a hostile environment, with no supplies and no way to provide backup to them until next morning? Sure, captain, go to bed. Don't leave anyone on watch to monitor them in case something happens to them. For that matter, don't have rotating watch shifts either, it's not like your ship is in a hostile environment either. Don't move the spaceship any closer to the cave allowing them a better chance of getting there. So the suit of one of those crew members shows up inexplicably right outside the door, and you the captain realize that something is amiss? Whatever you do, don't actually tell the rest of the crew, instead of just talking to yourself, or physically stop the doors. Because that would be helpful. If Shaw and Vickers had just run to the side to begin with, they would have avoided both the ship rolling and tipping over. Shaw only survives because she falls down and realizes she can roll out of the way. To be fair though, there was also plenty of debris falling from the sky. Vickers and Shaw would have been at risk no matter what direction they ran. Fifield managing to get lost on the way out of the ruins. This could be understandable, if he weren't the very guy in charge of mapping the place. And if he didn't later provide Janek with his exact location by way of coordinates. Gauntlet mounted tracking/mapping device and he relies on his own sense of direction to try and get back. This is at least partially justified for a couple reasons. First, Fifield isn’t a cartographer, he’s a geologist. He loves rocks. Second, nobody outside the Prometheus has access to the holographic map his “Pups” created, which is why Janek has to relay that information to him.

The film features a wall mural that looks eerily similar to the Xenomorphs and a variety of monsters that will be very familiar to Alien fans. A Proto-Xenomorph called the "Deacon" makes an appearance at the very end of the movie, but it should be noted, however, that this creature is not the first Xenomorph as evident by the presence of the murals and the gut-burst corpses of the Engineers, but it does clearly establish that the movie is an Alien prequel.

Whereas the fates of the rest of the crew are seen onscreen, the two engineers who get in the truck are never seen or mentioned again. Generally speaking, at the beginning of the film, there are seventeen crew members on the Prometheus, but only about ten of them die onscreen. What happened to the others ? It's possible that some of these characters die when the Prometheus rams the Engineer ship, and is completely destroyed in the process. Unseen variant. It is heavily implied that there the Engineers were the victims of Chestbursters and therefore Xenomorphs are inside the pyramid or at least were at some point. No indication is given as to what happened to them as the alien threat seems to be 100% the black goo that was activated after Prometheus arrived.

Holloway makes a point of asking Shaw if her inability to conceive a child was caused by faith. Later on, she does find out that she's pregnant…except it isn't a traditional fetus. When Shaw uses Vickers' autodoc to remove the fetus, she is initially told that the machine is only programmed to treat a male patient. This foreshadows Weyland's appearance, and the reveal that Vickers is his daughter—the autodoc was for his use in case he needed it. Milburn and Fifield discover a pile of Engineer corpses that all have what appear to be holes in their heads, indicating something exploded out of it. Later on, when the crew finds Milburn, a Hammerpede explodes out of his head and goes into the pool of black liquid. The hologram of Peter Weyland at the beginning of the film refers to David as "the closest thing [he] has to a son". There is then a brief shot of a seething Vickers. It is later revealed that Vickers is Weyland's biological daughter. Vickers being Weyland's daughter, is once again foreshadowed by the fact that she and David (who Weyland had earlier referred to as the "closest thing he had to a son") could easily pass for brother and sister. Janek even asks Vickers if she is an android because she and David have a similar temperament.

This later proves to be important when Weyland asks David to speak with the surviving Engineer. While it's not explicitly stated, it's fairly clear that David was deliberately learning Ur-languages in the hope of being able to communicate with the Engineers, should the chance arise. Finding a means of communication is an essential part of any planned first contact. His studying of the languages would also be helpful in translating any hieroglyphs that might be found. David's ability to decipher the Engineer symbols and machinery in the structure comes in handy when Shaw uses him to control an Engineer craft and leave the moon at the end of the film.

Prometheus / int_b58b4e3c	comment	Too Dumb to Live: Oh the many examples to be had. Let's not carry anything to defend ourselves on our first expedition onto the moon we just found and know literally nothing about the plants and animals. Even if it's a scientific mission, why is Shaw not overruled by Vickers when she tells the security guy to ditch the flamethrower? The fact that the cast removes their helmets after finding that the atmosphere within the structure is breathable. Just because it's breathable doesn't mean it's safe, as there's a myriad of factors which could potentially be deadly. The fact that they do this even after discovering that the place is a death trap is beyond stupid. Shaw at least lampshades this after after Charlie mutates and is killed, treating airborne infection as a possibility. There's also the fact that even if it was determined that there was no risk of biological contamination FROM the environment, there's still the very real possibility of biological contamination TO the environment. The human body is constantly host to all sorts of nasty viruses and bacteria, most of which is kept in check by our immune system and other natural defenses, so those microorganisms don't usually have a noticeable effect on us. We've adapted to their constant microbiological onslaught through eons of evolution, but whatever might be living on LV-223 would almost certainly not be. Hardly the best first impression to make when you want to initiate peaceful contact with an alien race. What makes this more baffling is that they shouldn't have the desire to remove their helmets in the first place. It isn't addressed in the film, but realistically they would still have to carry their helmets around with them anyway, as apposed to it conveniently sitting atop their shoulders. Its even said that the temperature inside the chambers is a low as minus 16, which is damn cold in Celsius and especially so in Fahrenheit. If you had the option to wear a temperature controlled bubble or have that cold air hit your face, you would go with the helmet. Their quarantine protocols are a joke. They would have brought an infected crewmember onto the ship (Vickers was smart enough to waste him), and let a second crewmember on after that happened. Before all that, they experimented on an Engineer head clearly infected with something out in the open rather than through some type of quarantine bubble. If it had exploded two seconds earlier, a half-dozen people would have been dead right there. Millburn is a biologist, so he of all people really should have known better than to approach that hissing cobra like creature and stroke it. Both he and Fifield get this in unison when they bolt in response to seeing a dead alien body, then make camp in the same room as the dead alien body. Literally anywhere else would have been a better choice. Holloway, later. There is a bloody worm in his eye, and he doesn't think to seek medical attention before venturing back into the place he possibly contracted it in. At least he has the common sense to force Vickers to kill him later. Possibly justified in that he was hung over and initially thought it was a hallucination. Shaw and Vickers don't consider running out of the path of the falling spaceship instead of in the same direction it's crashing in. Shaw only gets the idea when she trips and finds herself about to get flattened. Vickers wasn't even that smart. Shaw again, slightly earlier: when the Engineer ship is rising up from its circular pit, she jumps from segment to segment of the opening hatch above it, nearly falling between the widening gaps at one point—and then stands stock still on one moving segment to address the other crew members on board Prometheus. Only when the conversation is done does she make a run for the edge of the opening, where she could have completely avoided the risky jumps in the first place. There was no way that meeting the Engineers could be as rosy as Shaw thought it would be (to borrow a quote from somewhere else, "It would be like reading Homer's Odyssey, then traveling to Greece expecting to shake his hand"). Holloway insisting on exploring the structure immediately when there's a storm on the way and not much daylight left. He's supposed to be anxious, and we can understand that, but someone should have shut him down. Dr. Shaw never mentions to anyone that an alien has been extracted from her and is still alive and aboard the ship when everything else relating to alien life on the moon has resulted in gruesome deaths of fellow crew members. Possibly inverted, as the alien in question ends up saving her life later. Janek finding Fifield waiting outside their ship after having lost contact with him earlier. He sees Fifield's suit camera activated, and has his crew open the gate. Despite having cameras and utilizing them throughout the film, such as when the away team was exploring the alien ship, he doesn't bother to use one of the ship's external cameras nor communicate with Fifield prior to ordering his crew to open the gate for him. This results in several of the crewmembers getting killed off by whatever's taken control of Fifield.

However, because no one returned to Earth to tell the tale, Weyland's reputation remains intact. On the other hand, him sacrificing said portion of his company's assets may have unwittingly led to Weyland Industries' merger into Weyland-Yutani.

Also the rise scene at the beginning. The autodoc very nearly says "Please State The Nature Of The Medical Emergency." Weyland's hologram-message to the crew bears a striking similarity to Hari Seldon's series of hologram-messages to the people of Terminus, in Isaac Asimov's Foundation. Seldon is also physically diminished, reveals the true hidden nature of their mission, and is secretly manipulating people from beyond the grave. Although, in Seldon's case, he really is dead. David's love of the film Lawrence of Arabia. The scene he watches is referenced by Peter Weyland in the TED talk viral video. David pulling off a near-impossible basketball shot. The protagonist's name is Dr. Elizabeth Shaw. At one point the captain paraphrases a line from a song in Finian's Rainbow. The names of Millburn and Holloway might be inspired from two characters from a 1959 science-fiction film called The Atomic Submarine, which features a somewhat similar argument.

Prometheus / int_ce090f4b	comment	A deleted longer version of the same scene makes it slightly less ambiguous, albeit giving it different implications. The Engineer now talks and actually replies angrily to Weyland, but what he says and why he ends up reacting that way are still unclear. According to the promotional book A grammar of modern Indo-European - Prometheus edition, the Engineer's reply to Weyland's request for immortality translates literally as "you would not be a man if you didn’t grow old," implying either that humans cannot be made biologically immortal or that the Engineer simply doesn't deem them worthy to receive such gift. However, David instead claims the Engineer is asking why Weyland is so great as to deserve immortality, which differs enough from the real line to suggest David might be actually betraying Weyland by deliberately mistranslating the dialogue. Those lines and Weyland's subsequent pathetic boasts also imply the Engineer attacks him merely out of annoyance, although this leaves the reason of his mission to Earth still unknown and even harder to guess than in the final cut.

In fact, Guillermo Del Toro basically said that it has all-but-killed any chance of him making his eternally-in-development adaptation of said story, since the two are so similar. And interestingly, this is the second time this has happened in the setting—Alien vs. Predator could be considered an even more direct reference.

Prometheus / int_e3c36782	comment	Call-Forward The videoscreen in Vickers' room aboard the Prometheus appears to be the same technology that is seen during a scene from Aliens, where Ripley sits on a bench in the Weyland-Yutani operated Gateway Station and watches the scenery change on the screen behind her. Everything in the Prometheus is this. The doors look similar to the ones in the Nostromo, even down to having icons on top of them. Also some of the visuals for the ship's system look similar to the ones in the Nostromo, especially the animated red X countdown seen when Janek prepares to ram the Prometheus against the Engineers' ship. It's not just in the human technology either. A viral ad takes the form of an advertisement for the David 8 model. When speaking of the advantages of a Ridiculously Human Robot, David 8 states that he can blend in with a human workforce and carry out tasks they might consider upsetting or unethical, foreshadowing the role that Ash will play on the Nostromo.

No doubt deliberately done as a red herring to further Ridley Scott's pre-release claims that Vickers would be the lone survivor. David is one for Ash from the first film, being an android under morally ambiguous orders from the corporation and ends up reduced to a talking head.

The second subversion comes when it falls on top of her anyway. Possibly a third subversion when it almost crushes her but is stopped by some rocks. The same doesn't occur to Vickers and she's just plain crushed. Ironically, if she had fallen, she might've thought to roll in the other direction from the one Shaw rolled, which would be the way ship wouldn't fall.
