The way it ended Ridley can pursue Noomi or just leave it. I hope he lives to 110 so he will decide to do something with it.

It was a good ending or beginning?

Just read your post as RIPLEY and thought if they somehow dredged HER up I'm definitely going to pass!

Glad I misread it!

... would be a treat - a journey towards redemption, the savior of mankind being a woman?

Scott likes female heros, and there is lots of room for a humdinger here.

All juicy themes, that could even link up with Alien Resurrection if one takes liberties with space time relativity.

Epic.

  I perceive two burning questions: a) why the the planters want to destroy our earth which they created? (watch the news), b) who MADE (created) the planters?
  
  It was a nice turn for Rapace to pursue the unknown rather than to high-tail it home with the news.

    ... revealed within the film.
    Had to sleep on your burning questions, but they are right on.
    After my second viewing it jumps right out from our very own mythological history... What happened 2000 (carbon sampled) years "give or take" from the time the planters were hoisted by their own petards and found mummified and laying in heaps?
    The Crucifixion.
    Therefore the planters are not the actual creators but were indeed created, as were we if albeit by their hubris 35,000 years prior to the film story. Those builders of the towers of babble (taking creation to themselves and too far) pay for their folly.
    The planters were trying to correct their big mistake, which of course is our big mistake - angering God.
    All these machinations blow existence out of all proportion as a curse upon those who have ventured from Eden - planter or planted it all must balance eventually.
    Rapace's quest to ask "why" may indeed be the salvation mankind needs to make amends; although barren perhaps she will finally bear a Son divinely? Space-time is no impediment to the extra-dimensional forge of God's will.
    Prequel sequel shmeequel ... I'm ready for the next installment any which way.

      Not to knock your comments, but you're getting in pretty deep for a 2-hour movie.

        ...party, I guess.
        Just don't like the idea of getting stung for $16.50 twice, and have to make something of it. :)
        (Also helps to have a Theatre background where nothing is done without subtext - so I understand creative people and often where they are coming from.)
