>How come the Engineers home planet looked like a Roman-technology-tier city?

Because it's aesthetic.

The movie was written as a 2deep4u way to bridge it Prometheus to Alien. Prometheus was re-written so many times that the plot is nonsensical no matter your suspension of disbelief.

My theory is that those are black engineers (hence underdeveloped technology), but we cant see it because they are albinos

Vice Principals? It's not bad but it is really dark humor

- Why is Billy Crudup being a "man of faith" a thing? What does that ad to anything? It seems to exist purely as a nod to the empty 6th form philosophy of Prometheus, but without even trying to make it relevant to the character. He mentions it, apropos of nothing, because it’s apparently the reason his crew don’t respect his decisions. Despite the one and only decision we ever see him make being one that’s overwhelmingly supported by the entire crew… Apart from the one *clearly emotionally compromised crew member, who just happens to be his 2nd in command - Because when choosing someone to be the emergency 2nd in command in the event of the Captain’s death, the one crew member who will be irrevocably traumatized by the death of said Captain/husband, is obviously a brilliant, full proof choice, in the logic of this bonkers universe.

- Hey, remember that oft criticised bit in Prometheus where they all recklessly take off their helmets? Hahahahaha, feck you audience, we don't even have helmets. Try criticising that!


- When they first meet David, he’s wearing a dramatic Hobbit hood, presumably to hide the fact he looks identical to their own, smaller hooded android. I wonder how they’ll react when they fin…Oh, no, he’s taken it off, and no one cares. Because finding a clearly recognisable Earth-made android model on a crazy evil alien planet is patently unworthy of comment. Possibly because he has longer hair. Oh, yeah, apparently his robot hair grows, cos, hey, why not? If he can fly a ship by breathing into a random alien navigation flute, his hair can definitely grow to conveniently grungy Kurt Cobain length in a decade. Just long enough to distinguish himself initially, before he cuts it off expertly for an entirely innocent and not at all narratively convenient reason.

- Oh, you cut away from the Good Fassbender vs Bad Fassbender fight before we get to see who won? What a quirky and presumably unimportant editing choice. Oh, and now the good Fassbender has turned up, having obviously won the big central thematic duel off screen. Good for him. I mean, If I’m honest, I thought they’d have shown that, but since this is the first movie I’ve ever seen, being born yesterday and all, I’ll just casually take it at face val….OMG IT WAS DAVID ALL ALONG!?? HOW DID I NOT SEE THAT COMING!?


- The shower scene. I could write a whole separate post about how pointless, incongruous and cliché that shower scene was, but since I didn’t even know who either of the people in the shower were, it seems rather pointless. You could literally cut ¾ of the cast out of this film and just have Michael Fassbender teach himself to play various primary school instruments they've already established he shouldn't be able to play, and it wouldn’t affect the story at all.


- The chestbuster scene where the lil' CGI alien stretches his arms out to bizarrely uplifting music. That was supposed to be funny, right?

- Where did David get pens and paper from? Were the 9ft+ magic flute hologram loving Engineers just super fond of A4 on the sly?

- Has there ever been a duller opening to an Alien film than 5 minutes of Guy Peirce and Michael Fassbender having a trite Tumblr philosophy convo on the abdandonned set of the Blur Universal video? I know the idea was that really rich people can afford to keep one paining, a huge sculpture and a piano in one impractically large empty room, just 'cos, but it looked like he'd been cleaned out in a nasty divorce, and was reduced to living in his vast space-age garage with his 3 remaining possessions, passing the time by teaching his sex robot to play Wagner.

- Worst of all, by some considerable margin, is that it completely ruins the entire otherworldly mystery of Alien. A masterpiece of a film that doesn’t deserve, and never needed this kind of convoluted backstory to begin with. But I mean at this point, who cares anymore? I'm calling it now, the next one will reveal David is the Space Jockey. Just Stop. Stop Ridley, It’s already dead.


- That said, I did kinda like how they killed Shaw off screen in the most horrifically gruesome way possible. I mean sure, it ruined the entire point of Prometheus, and shat on its teasing cliffhanger that implied they were going to explain one of the main reasons we watched that story in the first place
