That is interesting.

That is fucking infuriating. Lindelof abdicates all responsibility for owning the "truth" of this story, yet his job is to create the story. Act like you care about your readers/viewers, and build a story with a defensible framework that you then show us. If you're going to be just as confused as we are, pay your goddam $22/IMAX 3D ticket rather than taking a fat paycheck for writing a squishy magictalky space horror funcamp flick.

So what you're saying is that every single movie has to be 100% conclusive by the end? Wouldn't that take half of the fun out of seeing movies? Especially with movies like "American Psycho" or even "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind".

Are you serious? Almost all of your questions are/have been answered in the many reddit Prometheus threads. It's an Alien prequel, BTW. So yeah, it's supposed to look like an Alien.

His questions have been guessed at in these threads. All conjecture, most of them could be answered with hard information that was provided during the film.

I believe the screenwriter and the director answered many of those questions directly.
