Hi

I just saw it in 3D.

Pretty interesting one.

I really hope she will meet the 'creators' at the end in their home front with all that payload...

Yes it was interesting, I wonder why they wanted to obliterate us and then changed their minds?

Might make a good sequel where she meets our makers.

And man, that was the mother of all face huggers that got hold of the pilot, Kane had a smallish alien come out of him, that thing was almost fully grown!

Yes, don't get clever with me Baldrick. I just thought you might have lopped off a leg or something by mistake.
No, the thing I chopped off had a nose.

The Xenomorph (or atleast an earlier version of them) that came out of the creator pilot at the end of the movie was an awesome looking creature me thinks!
First it showed its teeth, then it showed some extra mouth, awesome creature!

Yeah, if that was a queen, there will be eggs everywhere in no time!

So, do you think, in the first scene that we see a pilot, it kind of performs self immolation with that mercury like liquid and disentegrates into the waterfall, do you think that was supposed to be the creation of life on Earth?

Saw it last night, that guy on the waterfall was the source of life on Earth, yes. Why a race with that awesome technology would need to suicide to create us doesn't make sense, unless its part of a religious doctrine.
I thought that what they changed their minds about was letting us live, the only thing that stopped them killing us was getting slaughtered by their own 'weapons'.

As our "creators" was he there to make us or was it an unintended result of he dna floating away?

Whatever it was, they must have realized we happened because the cave paintings show us with them, pointing in to space.

How did David know that black liquid would kill Halloway?

So Dr Shaw is the mother of the xenomorphs?

I thought the movie was amazing. I saw it at midnight but will see it again at a normal time w/ my wife next week.

Definitely looking forward to the next one.

I was a little disappointed in the "under-utilization" of Charlize Theron. She did a great job playing a cold #%&*$# but, I wanted to know more about her. Wasted talent, imo.

Also, thank you Ridley Scott for handling the story in a professional manner, not pooping on your legacy and making me regret looking forward to this movie for a year now.

I hope it does very well.

I found my answer from Scott.

"Engineer" is not the most apt title.

- He did not know. His intention was not to kill. As was shown consistently, he is just very curious. Also, Wayland told him to find out what the stuff did (Try harder). David is not your typical Asimov's "three rules" robot.

-Different planet, this is not LV-426. Alien ship and eggs in LV-426 crashed there for thousands of years, so they are still there on LV-426 while the events in this movie transpire. If at all, we can see the Xenomorphs have to do with Engineer, and black stuff combination somehow. The human factor (plus all the contamination it got from the surgery chamber) makes them look different.
