Laced with several high level concepts such as where we came from, our purpose in the universe and the chaotic nature of life, it has a lot beneath the surface. Throughout the film we follow the crew of the Prometheus though the most interesting of them isn't exactly human. Michael Fassbender plays the synthetic android David who accompanies them on the mission. David is much like the figure of prometheus from myths that has been instructed to act a certain way. Created solely to serve, the corporation has complete control of him. This can even be seen down to the characters fingerprints which bear the weyland yutani logo. Just in the same way Prometheus took fire from the Gods and rebelled against his masters, David uses the black goo to stand against his. Incase you don't know the myths have Prometheus making humanity from clay and mud. However he gave the humans fire which was forbidden. This was something that was supposed to be exclusive to the Gods and they worried humanity would use it against them. Thus Prometheus was punished. There's a feeling with the synthetics that they too could take down us and the fear of AI is something that is rampant in real life as well. This mindstate is also reflected in the humans as well. The movie acts as a cautionary tale of what happens if you do something forbidden by the Gods. This even leads to Holloway being burned with a flamethrower with fire of course being tied to

"the black goo does whatever the writers need it to do"... Is something you could also say about the black goo in the X Files 🤣

I think the movie is underrated . Prometheus and Alien Covenant . Especially as Scott had to deal with studio executives limiting his film narrative

Prometheus wasn't advertised right at all. It should've been sold as like a "before mankind met the Xenomorphs, we met their creators" kind of thing. But, even then this movie holds back, and focuses on too many other things rather than offer up an Engineer perspective. I mean they're an intelligent, alien race they are capable of expressing things other than violence unlike the Xenomorphs.

12:19 - The phrase "however, Scott had a change of heart" is Prometheus's equivalent to "somehow, Palpatine returned".

the reason vickers and shaw run under the ship is due to the debris falling either side of them. you see them look and jump as pieces of prometheus fall and block their escape. big fan of the movies, the 3d version is amazing.
