I mean real answers. Not a bunch of illogical bullshit that just raises more questions.

Prometheus *really* is dumb, and sucks.

Nonononono... The guy at the start of the film would have been the Holy Father. Jesus would have been a different Engineer, what with him being on planet Earth well after humans first evolved.

You have to look all the way to wikipedia where it says the blue guy at the start of the film was Jesus Christ. You then stop looking and go cry in a corner.

Disproved in the commentary on the Blu Ray and in a few interviews with Scott himself. This was a very,
very early suggestion for the script that was thrown out but vapid nerds keep expelling anyway.
Interview with Scott:
Movies.com: You throw religion and spirituality into the equation for Prometheus, though, and it almost acts as a hand grenade. We had heard it was scripted that the Engineers were targeting our planet for destruction because we had crucified one of their representatives, and that Jesus Christ might have been an alien. Was that ever considered?
RS: We definitely did,
and then we thought it was a little too on the nose. But if you look at it as an “our children are misbehaving down there” scenario, there are moments where it looks like we’ve gone out of control, running around with armor and skirts, which of course would be the Roman Empire. And they were given a long run. A thousand years before their disintegration actually started to happen. And you can say, “Lets’ send down one more of our emissaries to see if he can stop it. Guess what? They crucified him.
At no point does the final product of the film Prometheus include a Jesus alien, nor was it intended to. I am glad it wasn't in the final cut but I think it's a cute little idea the way Scott puts it. It was a competent film and all this 'BUT WHERE ARE THE ANSWERS' talk indicates you either didn't bother with a rewatch or just weren't paying attention the first time around. I could give a shit about Ridley Scott's smug fucking ass but seeing nerds hyperventilate about this movie being bad by basically admitting that they don't get it is really fucking tired and boring at this point. It was a well made movie that pulled off a little bit of high-concept sci-fi in an ostensibly Hollywood way. If you can't recognize this boo hoo for you, learn2movies and stop complaining that it didn't make sense.
I watched Titanic for the first time ever. I had a lot of problems with it, the script especially, but it's one of my girlfriends favorite movies and all the little details she kept telling me about the production really made it fun. The ending almost made me tear up. Alllllmost.
I watched World's End. I think Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead and World's End are just The Expendables for smug NEETs/nerds. Hot Fuzz has a passable climax, the rest is complete fucking tripe. Seriously, irredeemable poorly made trash that is viewed by (North American) 'intellectual' subcultures as clever cinema when in reality it's just low budget repackaged hollywood trash. I cannot stress how much I loathe both these and Doctor Who. Total and complete shit.

I think the absolute worst part was that action scene two thirds way through where the ship gets invaded and the majority of the cast died.
It just felt so artificial, so 'We need to draw the Alien crowd. Let's do one of these scenes.' From the moment we were introduced to our ragtag bunch of misfits cast I knew where it was going, but still.

You are killing me dude.
Killing me.
