Yeah, just back from seeing Prometheus, and the creatures thereof.
Even allowing for the loss of a few partial scenes to my sitting-in-a-darkened-room narcolepsy, it didn't seem to make a lot of sense.
Like: if the atmosphere is 79% nitrogen and 21% oxygen, how can it be over 3% carbon dioxide?
And, yes, I have to agree with all those who pointed to the stupid-people-behaving-stupidly aspect. (Back to the tunnels to look for the missing people! We have no idea what happened to them! Let's all take off our helmets!)
That spaceship didn't make a lot of sense, either, but space travel in films usually does have problems with scales, speeds, and the difference between a propulsion system suitable for hurling a spaceship across the mind-paralyzing distances between the furthest stars and one suitable for maneuvering it gently down to the surface of a planet.
And now it's late, and I'm thinking of silly alternative titles such as Prometheus; or, the Ancient Frankenstein, and I'm going to bed.
Further: if that's Dr. Elizabeth Shaw, where's the rest of U.N.I.T.?
