(spoilers, obviously)
There are all these different plotlines that are basically... dropped.
Like, we have the "David the robot is super creepy and shady." It's half-explained by saying "oh, he's following the old guy's orders, and also he is passive aggressive towards humanity," but it doesn't really feel... right.
And we have the whole "The Engineers wanted us to come find them." What? Why? If the point of creating the Aliens was to create a weapon to send to Earth and kill us, then why did they want us to come find them?
And the planet wasn't even important! It was just where the ships had landed. It was like the Engineer version of Bikini Atol where we tested our nukes.
What was with that first scene, where an Engineer ate some goop and dissolved into the water? ( I assume this is how they seeded life onto Earth, but still, weird).
What was with the weird historical record holograms? Why were the jars of Alien Goo in a room with a giant Engineer head?
And, ok, at the end, "Oh, all right, there are other ships." Do they also have any survivors? Do they have any Alien Goop on them?
Why was the Engineer they revived so hostile?
Did anyone else think that when Shaw was going to say "ABORTION" instead of "CESEARIAN?"

Yeah, even I felt the movie was all over the place, too many plot lines and questions.
The holograms show the Engineers running away into the tomb with the jars and the giant head. What were they running away from? That tomb had no other exits, but we dont see the bodies of the other Engineers who had run into that tomb. Where did they go?
Why was one Engineer left alive? What happened to the others on that ship?
And the whole exploration on the ground had no one in command. It felt ill organised and as if they were using people who were not trained at all, for such an important mission in an alien environment. Team members were running off in any direction they wanted and doing what they wanted. Take those two who were killed by the worms, and David who kept opening doors, flashing heat/light on black goo, basically doing whatever he wanted without any precautions.
I thought the last Engineer was already contaminated with Alien goo, and hence was hostile, but in the end, that huge squid thing kills him, so we cant say he was already infected. Looks like he had some other reasons for killing the humans.
Isn't everyone in WoT re-born?

I'm fine with avoiding spoilers- I'm just saying, it's called "Prometheus Discussion"

Nothing in this post can spoil the film as badly as the script writer did, so it could be worse *NM*

The Vickers stuff is pretty annoying. There are no good villians.
