Loved it! Especially in IMAX 3D! But the plot...???

Rating: 8/10 (7 June 2012)

Firstly have to say I was looking forward to this for months and it didn't disappoint. It looks stunning and in the full IMAX environment was awe-inspiring at times. Gruesome, slimy and suspenseful.
Michael Fassbender is one of the most creepy bad guys ever and it's his and Noomi Rapace's movie really. Supporting cast (or monster fodder) strong too.
But the plot is so full of holes as to be slightly disappointing in hindsight. Here come the spoilers...
1. Why was it necessary to conceal Weylands's presence from the crew, most of whom didn't know why they were going there in the first place? Totally unnecessary. 2. Given the main 'agenda' why was it necessary at all to warn off Shaw and Holloway from engaging with any life forms they found. Surely that's precisely what they should have been doing? 3. Why did no-one chase Shaw as she headed to the med-pod? 4. Again given the main agenda, why was David trying to experiment with the crew at all? How did that help Weyland? In fact didn't his meddling actually put Weyland's agenda in real jeopardy? 5. Big question - how did all the other forms of life on Earth evolve? 6. They really skirted the question of why the Engineers seeded earth for no real reason other than to make the question of why their agenda had changed so markedly subject of the unanswered question at the end. 7. Why did it take two escape pods to escape from Prometheus? 8. Real nit-picking, why didn't Vickers turn right or left when trying to escape her doom - goodness knows she had the time! 9. Weyland was made up to look like about 100 years old - surely not if Vickers was his daughter! Was he 60 odd when he had her? Why couldn't he just have been in need of a cure for some dread disease. And the awful make-up on Guy Pearce could have been avoided...
And to be honest there's loads more, but it really didn't stop me thoroughly enjoying the movie.
