Just got done watching it and I can’t say I was all that impressed with what I saw. Yeah, it had its moments that were tense and a little freaky but it never fully got off the ground for me. However, it’s a beautiful film the whole way through and one that should definitely be seen in 3D no matter wherever you may be. Good review Ian.

As the purported "friend more educated than myself" I feel the need, after a couple minutes of research on wikipedia to say this: While Prometheus was a challenger to Zeus' (and therefore the gods) omnipotence and omniscience he is better known for the creation of man from clay and the theft of fire for man. He is more or less a champion of mankind who enabled progress and civilization and was punished by it.
When put that way, it kind of gives new meaning to the film.
Who is mankind's champion in the film?
Our bald alien creators? Well we came from them, but the help seems to end there. In fact, they seemed pretty ok with killing humans and wiping out mankind. Does the act of creation alone entail a god-like identity to the creators? Should mankind revere them as god's (our prometheus) solely for our creation, regardless of why they did it or what they do afterwards?
What about David? Who is his champion? He was created by humans, but seemed to despise the frivolous/nonchalant attitude they adopt concerning his creation "because we could". I feel like, in his opinion, creation in itself is not enough to warrant a god like reverence. He certainly seemed to have little qualms over infecting Hathaway.
The answer? I have no idea really, but asking the question feels like a good start.
