Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

there is a HUGE MISUNDERSTANDING HERE

Based on what we know before we start watching the movie we are inclined to think, 'oh look...the aliens are spreading their DNA, they are going to take this humanoid lookig guy and change him into a human'.

But they don't change him. They KILL HIM.

And if you watch the animation of what's happening to his DNA it is not CHANGING so it can be spread through the eco-system. It is BREAKING DOWN. IT IS BEING DESTROYED.

So this 'they're using this guy to spread their benevolent dna improvement through the planet' is WRONG.

But who is this guy? Is he an engineer doing some religious sacrifice? Is he a humanoid who was changed to be like the engineers who is now being killed by them? Is this a 'one time' sacrifice or will the black goop spread through the entire planet? What is this? Ritual or genocide?

If that's the case and the engineers made us, why don't WE look like THEM?

This is frankly, a story-telling mess. Ridley, Ridley. Exposition has never been his strong suite. Blade Runner looks great (classic) but the plot is a mess.

Oh well. I guess we'll have to get our answers from 'Ancient Aliens' on tv.

But the fact that the movie does not answer the 'ritual sacrifice' or 'genocide' question is really annoying.

Joss Whedon said, 'TV shows are about questions. Movies are about answers'. Ridley Scott said, 'Exposition? What's that?'
