I David

Rating: 8/10 (19 May 2017)

First of all I loved the movie. But not because of the movie's own merit per say, I just love science fiction and I enjoy almost every science fiction movie I see.
Really , other reviewers have raised valid criticisms about the film, about certain things that didn't make sense. So I will try to not rehash those in my list of questions/spoilers below.
1. How did Elizabeth Shaw, a paleontologist and archaeologist know how to fix an android? One would suppose you would require an expert in robotics.
2. Where did she find the equipment in the Engineer space ship to repair an android constructed with human technology.
3. Are the engineers so trusting that you can just fly any space ship that can carry biological weapons and fly it over one of their cities? If you ask me they were just asking to be wiped out.
4. After killing the engineers why did David than go and crash the space ship in some mountain outside the city?
5. Despite the movies constant theme about how androids are immortal and humans are not, that statement is not true. We humans die because we break down, our body stops replacing the cells properly in time, and any machine also requires perpetual maintenance, so David is not really immortal, as long as he is being maintained he will continue to operate. Even so, one suspects at some point he would have to fill up his memory because he is finite, so perhaps in that case he could simply delete old files, but androids would hardly be gods. With that being said. How did David maintain himself in a strange planet with no spare parts for 10 years?
6. Why did Elizabeth Shaw, not just fly home back to earth instead of going in search of the home planet of the aliens? Surely that is infinitely better than going to visit hostile alien species.
7. Why did Weyland not build the 3 robotic laws into his androids as suggested by Isaac Asimov?
8. Finally why did the crew members not wake up a few colonists as their numbers were dwindling to help out?
I have a lot more questions, but this is a movie, I must suspend some disbelief to enjoy it.
