Cool but ... The story was never told.

Rating: Null/10 (6 June 2012)

The story raised several questions but never answered any. I enjoyed the movie but the reason I wanted to see it was to learn more about the aliens. That's where the story was and it was never told.
There seem to be several deliberate actions without any motive or explanation. For example, the robot infects one of the doctors with the wrong DNA but you don't know why.
The infected doctor turns rabid and smashes a colleague. Again, what's the point? Possible but not probable.
They finally wake the "Engineer" and ask him to heal Weyland, he looks at them pitifully and then suddenly rips the robot's head off and smashes Weyland with it? Meanwhile the woman is screaming and crying something about "Why do you hate us?" I mean really, STFU and wait your turn.
But there's more! The robot makes a deal with the woman. Save his head and he'll help her navigate one of the many other alien crafts home. But she doesn't want to go home, she wants to chart a course for the aliens' home! Great you think, blow them the hell away, right? Nope, she wants to go and ask the aliens more questions? I mean, she was right there the first time they tried to hold a conversation and she was sucker punched across the ship. Who the hell wrote this nonsense? Yet, for all of its very many flaws, I somehow enjoyed it. Definitely worth the download!
