go have a wank, and go to bed.

I literally just finished watching this. Literally.
Was David at the end really david? Or was it Walter, who accepted Davids ideology, and pretty much assumed his identity.

I really loved it even though it had uneven spots.

Scott has balls of steel making an ending as grim as that.

You can tell it was David by how he started talking once she realized it was him. The Walter accent was dropped completely.

I liked it a lot. It was a very beautiful movie.

AC novelisation

>We also find out why they run around the planet without helmets; Walter leaves the ship first to test the air and water, revealing that it's free from pathogens and pollutants "right down past the molecular level." Ledward actually remembers this when he sees the spores for the first time, reasoning that they cannot be dangerous because Walt gave them the all clear. Oh, and the spores shoot the eggs into his ear through some kind of proboscis, they do not just zip into his ear as in the film.

>After the attack, when they follow David back to the city, the neomorphs actually trail the survivors along the way, seemingly to test their reactions and observe how they move. Once again, concerns over the infectious nature of pathogen arise, the crew wondering whyntheir scans missed it, and David tells the crew that because the virus is inert until it senses life, it is impossible to detect even with the most advanced scanning equipment. He also mentions that there are other Engineer ships on the planet, but they were all grounded to prevent the infection escaping.

>The biggest change is the scene with David and Oram in his little shop of horrors. It is filled with all manner of fascinating and gruesome sights, including a dissected Engineer's corpse, tiny preserved neomorph specimens that hatched out of insects, and, most notably, corpses (or at least models) of something that sounds suspiciously like the classic Giger alien. David even shows Oram a petrified facehugger's egg, which he reveals he euthanised because it was too aggressive. Oram looks inside this egg, at David's urging, and is comforted to find that the hugger inside is, as promised, quite dead. Tantalisingly, he mentions that this was left behind by the Engineers, saying it is a "supreme example of their skill." His attempts to create the alien, seemingly, are trying to emulate this one left by the Engineers. He also confirms that the aliens take on characteristics of their host species, a la the Dog Alien from Alien 3, which is a nice little detail.

>Finally, David shows Oram his own attempts at creating the eggs. Before descending into the egg chamber, he gives Oram some kind of smelly unguent to smear underneath his nose which he says will keep him safe from the hugger's attentions, and even leans over one of the open ovoids to prove that doing so is safe.

>Birthing scene with the groot-esque alien goes on much longer. It mimics Dave's movements and he tries to communicate with it, eliciting a rudimentary response. Apparently, the reason the alien grows so quickly is because it is an advanced model.

>There are many more mentions of fingering, for those of you that like that kind of thing, and the initial tete-a-tete between David and Walter ends with the latter receiving a flute as a gift rather than the fight seen in the movie - presumably this still happens, just later on. What follows is an extra scene between Daniels and Walter, which deepens their relationship and also hints at the first stirrings of emotions in Walt. He even plays a lullaby of his own creation on his new flute.

This was pretty much obvious but kinda a logical jump in the movie, they should have added a scene about it. The entire movie suffers from bad cutting.

No. Most of us have at least some semblance of taste.

Not just that, but his skin didn't auto-heal. Daniels probably didn't know Walter could do that and so didn't suspect anything was amiss.
